***Official What Bowl Are We Going To Thread***

For those thinking the Texas Bowls will pick Texas teams: Attendance at the Tech/Baylor game in Dallas at Cowboys stadium on the 24th was 44,000 for a stadium that seats 85,000.
In Tech's double overtime win at home against Kansas their attendance was noticeably down. That was their only win in their last 5 games.
Baylor's attendance for their last three games was 39,000, 38,000, and 39,000.
I don't see any reason Houston or Dallas would pick either of them over us. We have demonstrated we bring people, sell tickets, and stay in the city/spend money.
Baylor has finished strong which helps them. But their attendance this year is not supportive of being chosen ahead of us. Tech is on a slide. I like our chances of being picked ahead of them as well.
I"m still not convinced of this until I see the 4 middle computer rankings for NIU. I haven't seen it anywhere, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. The one I can find has them at just #32, of course that could be the high one thrown out.
To me, ISU could end up playing in Dallas and I would still be disgusted that NIU is in a BCS game and not OU (or Clemson).
Chris Level @ChrisLevel Basically it comes down to this, either Iowa State or Oklahoma State will end up playing in a bowl game without a Big 12 tie in.
hearing this news must be just what it's like to be informed that you have gonorrhea.
"congrats, you'll be going to shreveport. here's your penicillin"

Agreed. My frustration is with this poor system. No relation to impact to ISU or Big12.
The difference in bowl that ISU goes to at this point, as a whole, is not huge.
I hope we at least get the Liberty Bowl in Memphis? NOBODY will go to Shreveport again. We might as well refuse the bowl invite if it's Shreveport IMO.
But, we will get what we deserve I guess. When you're 6-6, you made your own bed and now you have to lie in it. We had a lot of chances to be 7-5 and couldn't do it.

Chris Level @ChrisLevel For those wondering about Baylor, my info tells me you all are headed to San Diego for the Holiday Bowl. #Big12
Then the rule should be changed so that the Big East or Big 10 lose their spot for the at large, not a top 10 OU team that actually won their games. Crazy because the Big12 is set up to make it even harder to get through the conference slate and OU still ended up with just one conference loss. That is more deserving than Wisconsin or Louisville.
TCU going to end up in Dallas Bowl?
Ok State Phoenix
Baylor Holiday
Texas Tech Houston
WVU Pinstripe
TCU Dallas
ISU Memphis
That's my guess
