Tostitos Fiesta Bowl 2026 Preview
Connecticut vs. Oklahoma (-17)
Date: Saturday, January 1, 2026
In one way, there is no pressure on Connecticut when the Huskies represent the Big East against Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. Nobody expects anything other a than Sooner stomping, and the momentum behind the calls for playoffs to replace the BCS to become overwhelming.
And people are correct in that expectation. Connecticut is an under-whelming 8-4 for the season, and is only in the Fiesta Bowl in the first place because Miami played in the Big East ten years ago, when the BCS was set up and everybody thought that a Big East title would always be worth something.
Well, no it's not. Not anymore. Oklahoma has had a great season to get to a BCS Bowl in the first place, and the only blight on Bob Stoops' career résumé is the tendency of his teams to blow it in Bowl games. Stoops will ease his pain in Glendale on New Year's Day – Oklahoma -17 against Connecticut with Sports Interaction is the pick.
