Bowl Projections (Week 10)

[cyclonepower]

I know its too early to even think about where we are going, but here are some I have come across...


Sporting News: Heart of Dallas vs Minnesota

Ubben (ESPN) Houston Bowl vs Big Ten

Phil Steele: Music City vs Tennessee

College Football News: Pinstripe vs Syracuse

CBS Sports: Heart of Dallas vs Minnesota

Let me know what else people have seen...

What's the Meineke(sp?) Car Care one? Heard that.

 

[Judoka]

I'd be okay with Heart of Dallas bowl against Minnesota. Nice location and we'd win that in a blowout.

Its the old Houston Bowl. FWIW, ESPN's Big 10 blogger has predicted Iowa to go to that, and Ubben, ESPN's Big 12 Blogger is predicting ISU.

For the love of all that is Holy please please let it be one of these two:

Heart of Dallas vs Minnesota
Houston Bowl vs Big Ten

I will not be sober for at least a week if it's one of these.

 

[cyclonepower]

dont mind those bowl but would pass on playing Minnesota or Iowa, someone else please!

 

[State43]

Playing Tennessee would be cool.

I like that the Houston/Meineke, Pinstripe, and BWW are on Friday night (12/28) or Saturday, Dec 29. We got lucky with decent weather last year in NYC, but would prefer to not go back two years in a row. Dallas bowl is on Tuesday, 1/1, so I guess my preference would be Houston or BWW, but Dallas is a very easy trip.

Love to see us beat UT, get 2-3 more wins, and maybe get to Alamo bowl (also on Saturday, 12/29).

 

[cyclones500]

I still want to reach at least Holiday Bowl level this season.

 

[CycloneWarning]

Playing Tennessee would be cool.

Almost impossible to see that happening. KU is already not bowl eligible, and Baylor will have a tough time making it. If Baylor does not upset Tech, KSU, or OSU at home, they aren't going. Then there is no extra Big 12 team to accept another bowl.

 

[Ciclone]

Of those, only Tennessee sounds (moderately) interesting. We need to win 2-3 more.

 

[1100011CS]

Which one pays the most?

 

[Cycsk]

If we win out and go 9-3, what will it take for us to be in one of these games?

Tostitos Fiesta BCS/Big 12 #1 vs. BCS At-Large	Glendale, AZ U. of Phoenix Stadium	Thu., Jan. 3 8:30 p.m. ET	ESPN
AT&T Cotton Big 12 #2 vs. SEC #3-4	Arlington, TX Cowboys Stadium	Fri., Jan. 4 8:00 p.m. ET	FOX

 

[CycloneWarning]

Which one pays the most?

In the conference, it does not matter. Bowl money is pooled and divided among all the schools (after an expense budget). ISU does not directly receive the bowl payout.

 

[cyclone13]

Which one pays the most?

IIRC Big12 distributes bowl money evenly. So it won't matter who pays the most

YES - I'm right there with you on these sentiments!

Fiesta bowl is not going to happen. Everything would have to fall perfectly into place for the Cotton. More likely would be the Big 12 #3 bowl if we win out. Which one is that?

Alamo. I believe it used to be Holiday and then Alamo, but Holiday cut its payout and has lost some prestige (idk why), and now Alamo gets to pick ahead of Holiday.

I would just like it to be NOT a home game for the other team (or like a Home game) -- IE, that stupid Boise Bowl where we played ON THEIR HOME FIELD! or in NYC with Rutgers less than a two hour drive away... that would be like ISU playing a Bowl Game in Pella.

As much as a big-name opponent sounds cool, I also wouldn't mind beating up on a mid-major team that just barely squeaks in, either.

In that case, we probably don't want a return to the Pinstripe against Syracuse. Nor would we want the Music City against Tennessee.

For ease of travel, would love to end up in Dallas.
