They probably looked more into the resumes of teams that would get left out than they did over which teams to fill out the top 4. You’re telling me Alabama had the resume to be top 4, while also sticking to their “criteria” give me a break. Damn, I blacked out and went on a rant again. My bad.
I LOVED the thought of that matchup. As far as growing a brand, you know people are going to watch Notre Dame. While I’m catholic, I don’t advocate Notre Dame as my second favorite team. What did irritate me about this matchup is I have some really good friends who go to ISU games, went to ISU, are from my little Iowa farm town, but they are huge Notre Dame fans because they are also catholic. They saw it as a win-win. If Iowa State ever played my second favorite team (Tennessee, don’t ask me why because I have no affiliation whatsoever) it wouldn’t even be a split second thought who I went for.
ND is my second favorite team and I would have loved to see Iowa State beat them. It was only a win/win situation for us as the publicity we would have had nationally pre-game would have been huge. I know they'll never schedule us so I hope this isn't the only bowl oppurtunity that slips away.
While the last thing I want is Iowa State to lose, I would take almost anything to get a game like that. It’s almost like a job saying they want 5 years experience, but how do you get experience if every job that’ll hire you wants 5 years experience. Notre Dame is THE name brand, but if we ever played them, holy cow would that be incredible.
I knew a guy like that growing up. I assume he's also a Boston College, Creighton, and Georgetown fan?

This is not from this year, but I’d amazing it’s similar if not the same. If I’m reading this right that for the “big 6” bowl games the estimated Payout will be:
Big 12 $56 mil
Big 10 $62 mil
SEC $66 mil
PAC 12 $58 mil
ACC $60 mil
TCU not getting into a “big 6” bowl really hurts.
I hope we end up at least even with the other conferences overall

Plus this, “Big 6 bowls that don’t host a semifinal game, will split additional revenue with the participating teams/conferences.” so that sucks
