Despite losing each of their last two games – a 24-20 loss at home to Louisville followed by a 48-31 defeat at Clemson – to drop to 4-3 overall on the season, the Virginia Cavaliers are still projected to go bowling at the end of the year in most of the college football bowl projections.

In order to reach the required six wins to become bowl eligible, UVA will have to win at least two of its final five games, a five-game stretch that represents the 21st most difficult remaining strength of schedule in all of college football and third-toughest in the ACC. Three of Virginia’s final five games are against ranked opponents and two of those games are on the road.

Still, Tony Elliott’s Cavaliers have a decent shot at reaching bowl eligibility for the first time since 2021 and play in a bowl game for the first time since 2019. Let’s see which bowl games the Virginia Cavaliers are projected to play in heading into week 9 according to various college football media outlets.

Patrick Andres of Sports Illustrated has Virginia playing in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl on Saturday December 28th, and taking on Memphis at Fenway Park in Boston.

Both of ESPN’s college football bowl projections still have the Hoos going bowling. Kyle Bonagura is predicting UVA to take on North Texas in the Camellia Bowl on Saturday, December 14th at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama. Mark Schlabach has Virginia facing Florida in the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl on Friday, December 20th at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
