2024 ASU Bowl Projections: Where Do the Sun Devils Stand?
The glow-up in Tempe continued apace on Saturday, with the Arizona State Sun Devils shellacking the woeful Arizona Wildcats, 49-7, to clinch the schoolâs first 10-win season since 2014, while putting the program into the Big 12 title game in their first year in the conference. Now, head coach Kenny Dillingham is tasked with getting ASU over the hump inside AT&T Stadium on Saturday night, as the 16th ranked Sun Devils play the 18th ranked Iowa State Cyclones with a berth in the 12-team CFP on the line.
For now, oddsmakers from bet365 Arizona have ASU down as a 2.5-point favorite over Iowa State, with a -150 moneyline on the 10-2 Sun Devils versus +125 odds on the 10-2 Cyclones.
For ASU, Saturday represents the first time since 2013 that the program has made a conference championship game, with the Sun Devils getting routed by seventh ranked Stanford during that yearâs Pac-12 title game, 38-14, in what wound up being a 10-4 campaign under then-head coach Todd Graham.
This weekâs BetArizona.com ASU bowl game update reflects increasing odds that the Sun Devils will crack the inaugural, 12-team CFP field, thanks to the Big 12 getting a team in the field regardless in 2024.

Where Will ASU Go This Bowl Season?
Our top bowl destination for ASU is the first round of the CFP, with the Sun Devils likely hitting the road to play a lower ranked conference champion due to their low ranking in the latest CFP top 25 poll. Such an outcome would be the closest ASUâs come to contending for a national championship since the Sun Devils lost the Rose Bowl to Ohio State by a 20-17 final score as an 11-0 unbeaten team under head coach Bruce Snyder in 1996, coming mere points away from the programâs first national championship in program history.
This year, a win over a first-round opponent in the CFP would set the stage for a quarterfinal clash against a higher ranked Power Four champ such as SMU of the ACC, Texas out of the SEC or Oregon from the Big Ten, though all of that will be determined once this weekendâs championship games conclude.
Should ASU fall to Iowa State and fall out of the CFP picture, keep an eye on San Antonioâs Valero Alamo Bowl, which checks in at +400 this week to land the Sun Devils, as Dillingham and company would likely wind up in the heart of Texas for the first time in school history if they lose to the Cyclones on Saturday.
Longshots to keep an eye on when it comes to ASUâs bowl outlook include Orlandoâs Pop-Tarts Bowl at +1900 and San Diegoâs DirecTV Holiday bowl at +3900, though the schoolâs postseason outlook starts and ends with how they fare in âJerry Worldâ come Saturday afternoon.
