With a number of programs going into holiday season bowl games, it\u2019s an opportunity for many to display their talents on the national stage in hopes of trading up into the NCAA Transfer Portal days after the game. Let\u2019s take a look at who could lose a number of players over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n
Hawaii Bowl \u2014 Cal vs Hawaii <\/p>\n
With Tosh Lupoi <\/a><\/strong>ready to take over at Berkley, it\u2019ll be interesting to see who stays and goes. The Cal Bears had the best player in CFB in 2025 in 2024, Indiana\u2019s Heisman winner, Fernando Mendoza<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n GameAbove Bowl \u2014 Northwestern vs Central Michigan <\/p>\n With alum Pat Fitzgerald<\/a><\/strong> back in the Big Ten neighborhood at Michigan State, let\u2019s see if he can pull some dudes to East Lansing. And if Texas has eyes on any of them. <\/p>\n Guaranteed Rate Bowl \u2014 New Mexico vs Minnesota <\/p>\n UNM head coach Jason Eck<\/a><\/strong> has done a heck of a job with the Lobos. And each year somebody gets plucked from their grasp. The Wisconsin native might have a few more players worth looking into. <\/p>\n First Responder Bowl \u2014 Florida International vs UTSA <\/p>\n This one is big because both schools get pillaged by bigger programs every offseason. Roadrunners\u2019 head coach Jeff Traylor <\/a><\/strong>is still regretting not taking the Texas Tech gig. <\/p>\n Military Bowl \u2014 East Carolina vs Pitt<\/p>\n ECU topped NC State in last year\u2019s Go Bowling Military Bowl, 26-21. I wonder if Panthers\u2019 head coach Pat Narduzzi <\/a><\/strong>will treat this like a conference game too. <\/p>\n New Mexico Bowl \u2014 North Texas vs San Diego State <\/p>\n
