They play the winner of the Texas - Clemson game.

I have not been following anyone outside the Big 12 this year, but heard Texas was favored by 9 on the radio this morning. And the college football expert at the grocery store told me this morning that Texas will win. He is a Miami fan and doesn't think much of Clemson apparently.

holy ish we actually got a bye?

Texas has consistently been overrated this year, mainly because their QB (Ewers) is not nearly as good as advertised. They're more talented than Clemson and ASU for that matter. 9 pts seems a lot but I would expect them to beat Clemson. And then they'll have to play nearly flawless ball to beat the Devils.

A Miami fan doesn’t think highly of Clemson? Color me shocked lol

Hey, we have to have at least one sports team in Arizona get a few breaks.

Unfortunate loss for ASU. Welch is talented. It would be great to have the targeting penalty against S. Simmons overturned.

Ya, I really like LT.

Interesting listening to K. Dill. today. They told those players that want to transfer out to announce it now to give them an advantage in the process, rather than waiting until after the CFP. And you can see Dillingham promoting these players on Twitter to help them. If they don't find a landing spot with more playing time, they can always exit the portal and stay. Pretty cool "player first" approach that allows them to keep playing in the CFP.

And honestly, I think the players transferring in via the portal are going to upgrade the roster for next year, at least that is the indication for the WR's.

Getting the bye is significant for the program and it will be nice to hopefully get guys as healthy as they can. Anyone concerned the Devils might lose their juice with such a long layoff? Part of me wishes the Devils could just get it going and keep the momentum.

No matter who they get, it’s gonna be a battle.
