Why this is the preseason Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl Projection

Both Pitt and Maryland should be around the middle of their respective conference packs, and at least in terms of geography, there’s a chance for these two former ACC siblings to bring in a bit of interest around the area.

Pitt should bounce back after last season, Maryland should take a step back, and the pieces should be there to create a solid matchup - three of the last four Pinstripes have been good.

The game will have plenty of options to choose from - Michigan State and Nebraska could add a few good, big names to the mx. The ACC will have at least five solid options to choose from.
