***Official ISU Bowl Predictions***

[cyIclSoneU]

It would make zero sense for the B1G to go back to an 8 game conference schedule. For starters, the Networks aren't going to allow it...

The networks might even prefer it. They own the rights to every B1G schools’ home games whether they’re conference games or not. They would have more sway over non-con schedules with more non-con games to play with (the season-opening neutral site games are often arranged with the help of ESPN).

Networks are the ones who pushed for them to go to 9

CFP - OU
Sugar - Baylor
Alamo - Texas
Camping - OSU
Texas - KSU
Liberty - ISU

Alamo/Camping/Texas may change picks but we won't get picked before those 3. If Baylor beats OU and OU somehow winds up at the Alamo we'll be in Tempe

Your scenario seems right but I would swap KSU and ISU.

KSU is going to end the year in the CFP top 25 most likely. That makes a difference to bowl people. The way their season went will also likely give the impression they will travel well. That ******* game will cost us significantly in bowl selection

Tired of the same bowl tie ins for big 12 year after year. When do bowls change their conference tie-ins?

 

[MLawrence]

I think we need to ask ourselves, which location is going to have scooters?

About every 5-6 years.

Prediction: Texas will be in Orlando vs ND, we will not be in the Liberty Bowl. Why no one is talking about us being in the Cheez-it Bowl in Phoenix? Air Force possible match-up?https://www.bookmaker.eu/events/sports/football/ncaa-insight-bowl.aspx

What would you do in Orlando if you don't go to Disney or Universal Studios? It's basically a swamp in the middle of a pine forest. Honest question. I've been to Orlando twice. Once for Universal and once for Disney. Didn't venture into Orlando much. Wasn't impressed with what I saw.

Actually, Downtown Orlando around Lake Eola is very nice. I went to High School in Orlando (Boone) and loved living there. Of course, the locals avoid Disney, Universal Studios, etc. down in Osceola County like the plague! Bottom Line: Orlando Great! Touristy Area in the next county Yuck!

Because they were all playing two Akrons and a Youngstown State. It doesn't have to be that way.

They pick after the Liberty bowl. The only way we end up in Tempe is if the Big 12 doesn't get two in the CFP/NY6

Brett McMurphy still has us in Orlando against ND.

I for one would love to go back to memphis, it is the closest bowl, it fits in better with the holiday schedule and every time I have been there it has been a blast. The camping world bowl is on a saturday this year which is nice but its a lot harder to get to and I have no desire to go to Disney.

Tired of the same bowl tie ins for big 12 year after year. When do bowls change their conference tie-ins?

This is the closest to "official" I could find for 2020-25 cycle ... according to WatchStadium: Bowl lineup for next 6 cycles to be announced

According to this source, Big 12 tie-ins remain the same, only notable difference is Cheez-It opponent is Big Ten instead of Pac-12.

Excerpt:
Big 12 (7 bowls)
2020-25 lineup:
Sugar vs. SEC
Alamo vs. Pac-12
Camping World vs. ACC
Texas vs. SEC
Liberty vs. SEC
Cheez-It vs. Big Ten
Armed Forces vs. Group of 5/First Responder vs. Group of 5
Changes: None. The Big 12 will maintain its same bowl affiliations in the new bowl cycle. The Big 12 will play three SEC opponents and one each from the ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12. The biggest changes will be facing the Big Ten instead of the Pac-12 in the Cheez-It Bowl and facing a Group of 5 opponent in the Armed Forces/First Responder bowls.

 

[cyclones500]

Overall Big 12 tie-ins aren't awe-inspiring, but its top end is fine and the geographic variation is interesting, at least. And we don't have Pinstripe or Independence anymore (or, going further back, In-Humanitarian).

Edit/addition: A little more variety to keep options from being stale, though, especially for fans who are able to go almost every year (I'm not fortunate enough to be among them). Maybe if some tie-ins to decent-level bowls could rotate among conferences year-to-year.

 

[WastedTalent]

Anybody else think the idea of bowl tie-ins is dumb and outdated? Just group them into tiers, and let them "draft" or "claim" their choice of teams.

It would eliminate the pandering by the ADs and make the selection that much more interesting.

I wouldn't put money on his big 12 predictions, but would love if its all correct. ISU vs ND and Texas forced into Liberty vs AAC opponent.

We might have better shot at winning liberty or cheer-whiz than camping world, but cwb is higher in prefer and likely more intriguing opponent.

Maybe I’m still bitter from Saturday but I really don’t think we deserve the bowl in Orlando.

Neither does TX...
