Big 12 doesn’t have a single New Year’s Day bowl?

Nope. The only people that matters to are Hawkeye fans for some weird reason

 

[clones2005]

SB Nation still not loving the Cyclones apparently... has us in the Texas Bowl with OU, WVU, Texas, and Tech getting better invites.

Texas bowl would still be awesome against an SEC school. I think that’s bowl is pretty much the lowest we could fall to when all said and done.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Camping World, Texas Bowl, or Alamo Bowl all would be good

Because they live in the past

I don’t see any way the Camping World Bowl would select Tech over ISU. It would make a lot more sense for Camping World to take ISU and the Texas Bowl to pick Tech.

As it stands now, I would project something like this:
Sugar Bowl - OU
Peach or Fiesta - WVU
Alamo - Texas
Camping World - ISU
Texas - TT
I don’t see ISU dropping any lower than that.

If a Big 12 team happens to sneak into the playoff, then slide every team up 1 bowl.
All of this assuming the remainder of the season goes to chalk and ISU beats Baylor and KSU and loses to Texas. And Tech does the same as they have the same remaining 3 opponents.

I agree with all of this. Hopefully we go ahead and win the Big 12 and head to the Sugar Bowl and the bowls can figure everything else out!

If I were to place odds on our bowl destination, I would make Camping World the favorite. Having said that, something much better may be in our cards.

The real crime will be if we finish ahead of Texas (especially with a head to head victory), but we then somehow lose out on the Alamo Bowl to them.

I have isu in the Sugar Bowl versus GA

 

[CyForPresident]

Getting 2 teams in the New Year’s 6 will be key again to sliding everyone up a slot. Hopefully OU and WVU win out until they play on Black Friday, but losing the NC State game will hurt WVU

I hope they each drop one more before they play each other so we can play for a conference championship.

I get that, but it hurts the bowl chances. OU and ISU winning out is the best possible scenario

Conference championships are more important than bowls especially if it's been more than a century since our last.
