Bowl Projections: Duke’s Mayo Bowl Preseason Prediction, Breakdown and History
By College Football News,

Before the season gets underway, what's the first guess on what the 2024 Duke’s Mayo Bowl might be? Why did we make this call, who else should be in the mix, and what's the history of the bowl?
This will all change throughout the season with its twists and turns, but in the preseason, the Duke’s Mayo Bowl projection is ...

Friday, January 3 7:30, ESPN Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC Bowl Affiliations : ACC, Big Ten Last Season: West Virginia 30, North Carolina 10 Preseason Bowl Projection (with predicted final regular season records) Clemson (9-4) vs Nebraska (7-5)
Why this is the preseason Duke’s Mayo Bowl Projection
Where do we put Clemson?
If it’s not in the College Football Playoff - and at the moment, we’re saying it’ll be just barely on the outside - then it needs to find somewhere new and different to play after winning the Gator Bowl last year.
The Gator would be the better fit for the Tigers, but going to the Duke’s Mayo would be new, getting the call for the first time since 2010 - they're not going to the same bowl two years a row.
North Carolina was here last season, and NC State was in two years ago. Don’t blow off the idea of Florida State if Clemson wins the ACC Championship. Nebraska would be a fun pick from the Big Ten.
There might be better options record-wise once we get to the end of the rainbow, but Husker Nation would descend on Charlotte in droves. Wisconsin or Iowa wouldn’t be a consolation prize.
