Arizona State Football Bowl Projections: Odds For Sun Devils’ 2025-26 Bowl Game
The wheels on the bus fully fell off in Tempe on Friday night, with the Arizona State Sun Devils falling flat against Arizona in the latest installment of the Territorial Cup, 23-7, snapping the team’s three-game winning streak. Now, Kenny Dillingham’s bunch will have to wait to see where the Sun Devils head this postseason, as BYU and Texas Tech head off to compete for the Big-12 title this weekend, with ASU’s regular season ending on a sour note at 8-4.
BetArizona.com, as part of our Arizona sports betting coverage, has updated our running Sun Devils’ postseason odds.

On the heels of ASU’s clunker against Arizona, it seems like the Devils are set to return to El Paso this bowl season, with the Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl holding commanding odds of landing them come New Year’s Eve. Overall, the El Paso classic has +175 (or 36.4%) odds of landing ASU, beating out the Vegas Bowl (+275) and the LA Bowl (+550) in the race to land the Sun Devils.
Finally, the Valero Alamo Bowl is the closest thing to a longshot to land the Sun Devils come Dec. 30, with the Big-12 vs. the conference formerly known as the Pac-12 showdown holding +800 (or 11.1%) odds of hosting ASU for the first time in 2025.

Arizona State Bowl History Since 2017
Year | Bowl | Result |
2024 | CFP Quarterfinals (Peach Bowl) | Loss, 39-31 vs. Texas |
2021 | Las Vegas Bowl | Loss, 20-13 vs. Wisconsin |

Looking at ASU’s postseason history, the Sun Devils have been frequent visitors to El Paso, Las Vegas and San Diego. The program’s most recent trip to Phoenix’s other bowl game besides the Fiesta Bowl was in 2015, when then head coach Todd Graham finished off a 6-7 campaign with a 43-42 loss to West Virginia in what was called the Cactus Bowl at the time.
The Devils’ last trip to El Paso was when Herm Edwards was the team’s coach in 2019, with ASU beating Florida State, 20-14. The Sun Devils played in the 2021 Las Vegas Bowl, falling to Wisconsin, 20-13. Looking back, the Tempe university’s last trip across Interstate 8 to San Diego was in 2013 when ASU lost to Texas Tech, 37-23, capping a 10-4 season on a sour note.
Sun Devils fans don’t have to turn back the clock nearly as far to find the school’s one and only appearance in the CFP, with ASU falling to Texas in last year’s Peach Bowl (which was a CFP quarterfinal site), 39-31, finishing off an 11-3 campaign in Tempe.
