Arizona State continues to be one of the most fun stories of the 2024 season.
A year after going 3-9 the Sun Devils turned into players in the Big 12 with wins over Utah and Oklahoma State, and with a shot to potentially get into the conference title game by winning out.
It won’t be easy – at Kansas State, BYU, at Arizona – but the team is bowl eligible already. It’s playing with house money.
UCF stopped a brutal five-game winning streak with a 56-12 destruction of Arizona, and now it has to get on a roll needing wins in two of the last three games to get bowl eligible. It closes with at West Virginia and Utah.

Why UCF Will Win
Arizona State won’t have its main man. Pounding running back Cam Skattebo is out, and the UCF run defense could use the help.
The Knights are solid against the run allowing 3.6 yards per carry, but they need to be a brick wall. They allowed 67 yards or fewer in the four wins, and 97 yards or more in the five losses.
