Bowl Game Projections

OU’s resume may still be better than TCU’s even if they lose and no OU isn’t getting in with 2 loses
So you agree? I think I said the same thing, that TCU is in no way getting in the playoff and needs to beat Oklahoma to have a chance at NY6 bowl.
 
It’s 10-3 TCU vs 10-2 Washington assuming OU wins. So from Sagarin...

Strength of Schedule
TCU - 46 (will go up after Saturday)
UW - 57 ( UW didn’t play USC, so a Stanford win is the only way the metric improves and even then it’ll be a small increase since UW isn’t actually playing)

Vs top 10
TCU 0-2 after Saturday
UW 0-0

Vs Top 30
TCU 2-3 after Saturday
UW 1-1

Edit:
TCU’s worst loss is to #25 Iowa State. UW’s worst loss is to #40 Arizona State

TCU deserves the last spot, I’m just not sure the committee will actually give it to them. Washington’s SOS is really really weak
Not arguing the last spot at all, TCU is far better than Washington. Just think it’s crazy to think TCU is a top 6 team
 
If I'm rooting for Orlando/Phoenix, who am I cheering for tonight in the Stanford/USC game? USC to knock Stanford out of the NY6?

I would assume so since that would give Stanford 4 losses likely putting them out of the NY6. If Stanford wins they would both both 10-3 and would both have a case to be in.
 
Jamie on KXNO a bit ago:

- Best for Big XII to have Oklahoma win and go into the playoff.
- Would be cool if OU wins National Championship and their only loss was to Matt Campbell's Cyclones
- Cyclones could get Orlando if TCU wins Saturday
- If Orlando gets Notre Dame, they will pick Texas as the Big XII team for TV ratings
- Made it sound like the most likely was Liberty Bowl because it would come down to Kansas State, Iowa State and West Virginia. K State and West Virginia have been to Liberty Bowl more recently than Iowa State, so that puts ISU in a good position
- Mentioned he and Coach Campbell would love to play Missouri in Houston
- Mentioned the December 26th bowls are not ideal for fans. Also said Campbell didn't prefer those because you can't practice as long, since the game is earlier.
- Never mentioned any at-large bowls
- Said best case scenario for media in the state is if Iowa plays in Nashville on 29th and Iowa State plays in Memphis on 30th

Good recap. Listening to Jamie sounds like Houston may be more than an option than most of us have been talking about on here. Especially if Texas ends up in Orlando.

Did he say anything about possible opponents in the Liberty Bowl. i.e. Memphis instead of an SEC team?
