Bowl Projections

I am just hoping for nice weather for once. Orlando was unseasonably cold, San Antonio was cold, both Liberty's had poor weather.
Blows my mind a playoff format without a larger number of teams hasn’t happened yet—16, 32, etc. College football has next to no parody.
Whorns down, bruh.

The whole thing is a parody of parity.
Cheez It Bowl pretty much replaced Camping World right?
Obviously we’d hope for better, but that sounds like a fun bowl. Against awake Forest too? Reminds me of our Wazzou bowl game a couple years ago. Super fun matchup.

I am never going to be upset about a bowl against a P5 school in a warm weather touristy destination. This is a better destination than Boise, Memphis, Shreveport, or New York. And a better opponent than Memphis, Tulsa, Miami OH, or TCU from their MWC days. I would also take Wake as an opponent over Rutgers.
This would be a step below where we hoped to be this season, but still a big step above many of our bowl match ups and destinations.

It’d be a nice way to send off this group of players that are likely leaving for the NFL. Win that game, finish 9-4 with a final spot in the top 25 rankings. I’d take that.
I can at least be at peace with having the NY6 bowl victory the year before.
Orlando might be the worst destination City of all of the Big 12 Bowl tie ins though.
This is a weird take to me. @JStanz51 agrees though (according to his twitter account). I haven't been to Orlando in about 15 years, but what happened to it that makes it so horrible? Last I checked there were palm trees, golf courses and disney world...
Cheese-it and above are usually solid options. That said bowl tie-ins are dumb. Done right no fans would ever be going back to the same bowl within 5 years, unless going to the playoffs frequently.
I went to the camping world bowl. It's fine. Give me Orlando over Memphis any time. I've been there twice and had a WAAAAY better time in Orlando.
I went to High School in Orlando. We used to wear board shorts, t-shirts and flip flops to school and skip to go to the beach after 2nd period (Mr. Davis gave bonus points for perfect attendance). Of course, that was in May and June. December in Orlando can dip down into the 60s and 70s and get down right cold!
I think I faced these odds nearly every weekend in college.
If the records are comparable the Alamo Bowl will grab Iowa State over Texas. We would sell just as many tickets plus we bring a lot more money to San Antonio while Texas fans would be in and out.
Outside of Disney, Orlando is hot garbage. It is by no means a destination city and I have zero desire to spend money to go there for a bowl game. It's too far of a drive and flights will be absolutely ridiculous.
Anyone from Iowa will be in board shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops with 60's and 70's in December.
