Good catch, maybe Houston to Alamo then with the game being in TX. BYU to Orlando. TCU to Texas Bowl Cincy to Memphis and we go to PHX.
ISU Bowl Projection
- Thread starter Chitowncy
- Start date
I don't believe it for a single second they aren't taking Houston or TCU
No one’s putting any actual thought into these projections. It’s all just AI algorithms.
While I think they tend to take Texas teams for attendance, I think you could make a case we could bring more fans than either of them. Houston doesn't seem to draw well for their home games, and TCUs home crowd has been light down the stretch as well.
I hope you are right because if I see another projection with liberty playing Memphis, I may lose my ****. Let’s have some common sense on this.
CBS: Texas Bowl vs Missouri
Athlon: Texas Bowl vs Boise State
Pro Football Network: Texas Bowl vs Tennessee

Doesn’t matter what these are projecting. We’re going to be in Phoenix.
If the Texas Bowl wants you against an SEC team that is in or close to the Top 25, you don't pass that up to go play Northwestern in Phoenix.
I'm confident that Iowa State has asked the Liberty Bowl to pass on them, but I doubt they have done that to any others
Is that how it works?
That is, the former PAC-12 teams aren’t effectively dual citizens?
Well, PAC-12 teams except OSU and WSU that is.
vs. USC in the Alamo Bowl is intriguing. Especially if we brought our throwback uniforms from the Coach Rhoads days. Nobody could tell which team is which.
Alamo Bowl is intriguing. It’s going to be between BYU, Houston, TCU, and Iowa State for that game. BYU played there last year. Do they take one of the Texas teams or do they go with ISU? If I had to guess, I would say they try to get TCU vs USC.
That puts BYU in the Pop Tarts bowl in Orlando assuming they aren’t in the CFP. Potentially they could have BYU vs Miami.
Then you have the Texas Bowl. The top candidates would be Houston, ISU, and Cincy. Would they take Houston to play at home? I could see them trying to get Houston vs Texas.
I think Cincy is in the Liberty Bowl unless the Texas Bowl takes ISU, in which case the Liberty would take Houston.
Then you have the Rate Bowl in Phoenix, and that’s where ISU goes if they’re still available. Probably Cincy or K-State if ISU is in the Texas Bowl and Houston is in the Liberty Bowl.
Whoever’s left between K-State and Cincy will go to the Independence Bowl.
Not sure how it will shake out for the former Pac-12 schools.

Yes, any type of P4 of that sort, esp. if ISU hasn't faced. Most-recent meeting with Vols was in 1982, and was a loss, so let's get some vengeance!
