Don’t worry about that. Sports reporter bowl predictions aren’t worth much.
Still too much in play right now especially in Big 12 Championship.
If we could not have to play a Texas team in Texas, that would be great.
Texas A&M in Houston still excites me though. I think finally playing a big name in a bowl would be a nice change in pace for once.
A big name might be fun, but I fear right now that A&M would lay the wood to us in a bad way.
I'm not saying we couldn't beat them. But playing them in Texas would be a tough ask.
I'd rather face a Washington or Utah in San Antonio.
And if Texas wins, they also go to the Sugar Bowl, and OU is certain to get an at-large NY6 bowl. I think the only scenario where the Big 12 doesn't have two NY6/CFP teams is if OU wins in unimpressive fashion and misses the CFP. I'm tempted to want Texas to win that game to guarantee two NY6 teams.
OU beats Texa$, OU doesn't make CFP...goes to Sugar, Texa$ goes to Alamo, WV to Camping World, ISU to Houston.
In the 2015 season, Oklahoma made it to the CFP but the Sugar Bowl selected #16 Oklahoma State with the Big 12 tie in. I keep seeing Bowl Projections where OU is in the CDF but Texas not in the Sugar Bowl!

And why does everyone assume if Tx loses to OU that Tx wouldn’t make a NY6? Tx will be ranked maybe 10th or 11th in CFP poll this Tuesday?
if you finish in top 15 you can make it....Actually u don’t even have to finish in Top 15 to make NY6.
So you think Penn state or Northwestern will get to a NY6 over Texas? I don’t.
All I see is prediction of 3 BIG teams making NY6 and I don’t know why. Ohio state and Michigan are locks....No way NW makes NY6 losing to tOSU. And i dont see Penn State being taken over Texas.

Agree with almost all of that but I could see PS being chosen over Texas if it’s a SE game like the Peach.
I'm gonna blow a fuse if someone jumps Oklahoma next week after beating a top 10-15 Texas team and having 2 top-15 wins in the last two weeks. They have a "13th data point" now and have only 1 loss on their schedule a million days ago.
They deserve to be ranked 4th and anyone who says otherwise has big 12 hating blinders on
