***Official ISU Bowl Predictions***

Hadn't thought about this yet, but Cheez-It Bowl could end up with a huge local Purdy fan club in the stands.
Iowa State is the only Big 12 school to hit this trifecta of unappealing bowl locations/matchups: Boise State in Boise, Rutgers in Yankee Stadium, and Memphis in Memphis.
If there is any justice, we won't get another one of these dog **** games for a very long time.
If this happens, it would be sooooo Iowa Stateish for that KY quarterback to become Drew Brees incarnate and throw for a Liberty Bowl record yards and td's.
Oh, you mean the one where we beat Alabama with a last second field goal? (I refuse to acknowledge remembering it any other way. BS ending.)
This is my annual petition that the bowl game organizers agree to drop their conference affiliations and institute a bowl game draft with selection order determined by game payout.
You would get better match ups, viewers and fan support which is what they say they are all about. Over time there would be more upward pressure on payouts(benefitting conference bottom line) as well as some of the games that have no purpose would naturally wither on the vine.

We eventually will play Houston in the Houston Bowl now.
I mostly agree with the idea but if you don't think Bowl Committees would favor the teams in the south, you're outta your mind. 75% of the bowl games are in the South East. So it would just give way more accolades to SEC and ACC teams.
That's a pretty truthful way of looking at it but when you carry street cred like ISU does and have most people staying for 3-4 nights in Memphis or San Antonio, the cities will make a lot more money than choosing Tenn or Texas.
I think we're the exception once they realize it. However, as wrong as they may be, most bowl committees would think we're some podunk school without any fans or money. Pollard could try and sway them but if it's us vs say Miami for a game in Tampa, I bet they go with Miami
not on TV ads they won’t. Most are only marginally interested in actual attendance and keenly interested in ad buys on TV.
Somehow Central Florida will play is in the camping world bowl.
I guess I assumed most of the TV ads were sold much more in advance of 3ish weeks before the bowl game. I get that Texas would obviously have more TV viewers than ISU but ISU would have a much larger local economic impact in San Antonio
even if they are then they will base the next years ad buys off past performance and it will still favor the big name schools.
