I just really don't want to play a seudo-home game against some team (ie, Boise State in Boise, Rutgers 60 miles from their campus, etc.)
Bowl Game Projections
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Discussing bowls we'd prefer not to go to is a nice problem to have!
Why are people booking tickets..hope they are refundable bc if we win vs KSU there is a good chance we end up in the Alamo bowl. If OU makes playoffs and say TCU finishes a clear 2nd and takes the Cotton or Sugar whatever NY6..then it goes to Alamo and they can choose any team they want that is bowl eligible...they could take Kstate if they wanted to. If ISU wins vs KSU i think we are going to Alamo..WVU losing and OSU losing helped that a lot. All bowls care about is filling the stands and ISU is a really good story this year with a fan base that would bring 20k+ to the Alamo.
After today's win I think we can rule out the Heart of Dallas Bowl and Cactus Bowl. I don't see us falling that low in the picks.
Pretty sure no one here is booking anything until the announcement comes down. People here are just speculating at this point.
Why not? In the 3 years of the NY6 bowls there have been 6 3 loss teams play and 1 4 loss team play in the games. The important thing is where they finish in the final rankings.
Because they’re smallest brand in the top 15 and this committee hates the Big 12. Last week’s rankings show they want PSU, OSU, and ND at all costs
Really hope Camping World or Alamo Bowl picks us. Nothing against the Liberty Bowl, just want something new.
I guess? Still doesn’t change the fact I think it’s a long shot.
Last week’s ranking projected out
10-3 TCU
11-2 USC (PAC 12 champ)
10-2 PSU
11-2 OSU (Big 10 champ)
10-2 ND
11-2 Georgia
9-3 Auburn
12-1 Wisconsin
12-1 OU (Big 12 champ)
11-1 Miami
12-1 Clemson (ACC champ)
13-0 Bama (SEC champ)
Who gets left out of those teams? Probably TCU or Auburn and this committee isn’t giving the big 12 any favors. TCU dropped 6 spots for losing to OU once already. How far are they gonna drop when they lose to OU for a second time?

Highest rated G5 gets an automatic bid. Right now that’s UCF
Alamo Bowl in San Antonio would be great: Great town with great weather and lots of fun things to do, the River Walk, 1000's of outstanding hole-in-the-wall TexMex joints. Would get a reasonably big name opponent from the Pac 12 like Washington or Stanford, though it would be awesome if Washington State could sneak in because Mike Leach.

Umm if OU makes the playoffs i’d Bet TCU if they finish 10-3 will be in the top 16 in the rankings...no way they wont be.
I want the Alamo more than anything but it's not going to happen. OSU and TCU have name recognition and proximity over ISU. It sucks but if you are hoping for Alamo be prepared for disappointment.
I've seen a few people booking tickets already, but they have either said that they are able to get a refund or exchange, or, some people have said it was a good enough deal that they will just take a vacation anyhow to that locale even if we don't have a bowl game there.
It's their money, I guess they can use it however they want!
