Brett McMurphy latest projection:
BOWL (CITY) DATE MATCHUP
Cactus Bowl (Phoenix) Dec. 26 Big 12 vs. Pac-12
Projection: Iowa State vs. Oregon
Iowa State locked in coach Matt Campbell on Monday, giving him a new six-year contract worth $22 million. He’ll earn every penny trying to slow down Willie Taggart’s Oregon offense, which is averaging more than 50 points a game with quarterback Justin Herbert.

At this time I don't think they can tell you much more than the schedule and number of tickets that can be purchased for each donor level.
And here's the Liberty Bowl for those wondering. Sounds like they're pushing hard to maneuver Memphis into the Liberty Bowl.
BOWL (CITY) DATE MATCHUP
Liberty Bowl (Memphis) Dec. 30 Big 12 vs. SEC
Projection: West Virginia vs. Memphis**
Look for the hometown Tigers to make their first appearance in the Liberty Bowl. I’m told the American Athletic Conference is moving around some of its teams to help fill other vacancies. With the SEC unable to fill this slot, the Tigers would be the purr-fect choice (sorry about that pun). Hopefully Will Grier can return for West Virginia, so this bowl would feature two of the nation’s top QBs in him and Riley Ferguson.
Also of note from the above projection from Brett McMurphy, he has TCU in the Camping World Bowl. Also has Kansas State in Detroit

I honestly am okay with going to the Liberty bowl. Other than the cyclones getting drubbed by Tulsa I had a lot of fun last time. Nice doable drive and a cheap trip really.
I could totally be wrong but I seem to remember ISU playing Notre Dame in South Bend around 1982 or so. Maybe it was rumored to be happening but never did.
Edit. Nope, didn't happen. Sorry
Sounded like Pollard wants to go to Memphis, both for the coach to have more practices and because he knows how well our fan base will travel there. And he probably has lots of buddies in Memphis after he fulfilled his promises to the Liberty Bowl last time.
I was talking to cop while waiting to get through the barricades to Beale Street on NYE. He said he was pretty sure all the businesses wished ISU fans would just move down there.
Playing Memphis in Memphis in the Liberty Bowl...hard pass.
Really don't care about the bowl or location...want a P5 team. I'd rather have the Cactus vs Oregon.

Aren’t bowl practices limited no matter what bowl you have?
