Dear 6 pound, 8 ounce baby Jesus, please send Iowa State to the Alamo Bowl
Bowl Game Projections

This. We are booked airfare to Orlando because it was very cheap for Christmas time and we can spend time in Florida regardless if ISU plays there or not. I've been checking the prices and for Cedar Rapids to Orlando, the prices have been fluctuating from $180 RT to $340 RT and now it is back to $170 round trip now just in case anyone is interested.

As far as ISU vs Okie Lite to go to Alamo Bowl....Okie played there last year and throttle Colorado. Maybe Alamo would want new blood?
Yep. I have no doubt that ISUwill have 25k fans . The stadium holds around 80k. Cyclone fans will still be in the minority if we happen to play either LSU or Texas A&M in the Texas bowl. I am not debating how well our fan base travels. I am debating the idea that the Aggies will have less turn out than the great turn out of ISU fans if this match up occurs. A&M is the local/Home team if this matchup occurs. There are more A&M fans in Houston than any other college team, by far. I would be shocked if A&M fans bring less than 40k fans to this matchup if it occurs. I am not saying they will fill the actual university allotment of tickets. I am saying many tickets will be purchased via ticket brokers outside of the official allotment that will dwarf ISU fans attendance if this game takes place.
A&M or LSU in Houston would fit that bill as well
No TCU in the NY6 in either of these predictions. And no way does the Texas bowl pass on Texas. Liberty Bowl is looking more and more likely as of now
Hate to see this projection as Palm is fairly accurate. Still hoping we end up Camping in Orlando.
As others have said, the biggest thing that could impact our bowl assignment is if TCU makes the New Years 6.
The CFP Committee selects those 12 teams (it includes the 4 playoff teams in their semifinal New Years 6 bowl games). The 5 power conferences get auto bids and the top ranked team in the other conferences also gets an auto bid. If ND wins against Stanford they will very likely also be in the top 12 in the rankings (if they lose it increases the odds TCU gets in significantly). Which means there would be 5 spots for Power 5 teams that did not win their conference . So the question becomes if the committee will take three teams from a conference over TCU or three teams from two conferences if TCU is ahead of the second Pac 12 team. Barring several upsets the teams that will likely matter in those scenarios are Auburn/Georgia, Ohio St./Penn St., and USC/Washington/WSU.
(This is all assuming TCU beats Baylor and loses to Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game. If both win next week and TCU beats Oklahoma, the Big 12 is about guaranteed to get two in the New Years 6 bowls.)

I am conflicted with a bowl in Houston. Half the people from Houston still like Dallas better than their own home city. At the same time, it would be glorious if we could play and beat TAMU.

Here’s one with TCU in the NY6 and we still get the Liberty. I’m doubtful the Camping Bowl would take WVU 2 years in a row though over ISU

Mizzou in the Liberty Bowl is a “stop, my penis can only get so erect” scenario for me.

Potentially they’d want a fanbase that would need to travel, not one that only adds tickets.
This Texas reporter asked if Horns & Aggies could play in the Texas Bowl:
