Espn's thoughts of bowls

[CyDaMan]

Either way I would enjoy these bowls for our boys! What is everyone else's thought?

NCAA College Football BCS Bowl Projections Week 13 - ESPN

I like the idea of sending TaM to NYC. Let them freeze their arses off!

Any info coming from ESPN should be taken as seriously as info from the Enquirer. I don't believe any info from them until there is a second source.

I'll obviously be happy with any bowl, but if I had a choice, I would hope we don't get UCLA. Is it too much to ask to play a team with a coach and at least a .500 record?

I mean, it would be fun, it would be different, but sending a bowl team home with a 6-8 record is a little...I don't know. Not so tasty.

You have to remember these are projections. They aren't reporting anybody is going anywhere yet.

There are still games left to be played...

I'm surprised they reported these without a second source. What too early?

I like both of those projections. I hope we are not in NYC and I hope we don't play Iowa.

And ESPN clearly has a bias towards its own interests.

Jan 2 bowl would be great.

 

[jdoggivjc]

People are seriously asking for "second sources" on opinions? :facepalm:

 

[clones26]

I am hoping and praying for Ticket City in Dallas Jan. 2. I could actually go, C'mon bowl gods. Wont complain if go 7-5 and get a better bowl like the Holiday Bowl though.

 

[sodeen]

Brad Edwards basically contradicts himself.

He has Houston slotted for a BCS bowl... but if that happens, the C-USA won't have a team to fill the TicketCity Bowl... which has a provisional agreement with the Big XII to take their 8th selection if a primary bowl partner conference can't send a team.

So no, there will be no Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

 

[kas4cy]

I'd be very ok with either a game in Texas or California. Never been to either state. Whoo bowl trip!

 

[Dopey]

There are still games left to be played...

What??

 

[jdoggivjc]

What??

Really?

There's an entire schedule of games to be played on Saturday, including a regular season week in the Big 12 and many conference championship games, all of which can cause bowl upheaval. I assume he meant if ISU beats K-State, not to mention the Big 12 squeezing in two BCS teams, ISU has the opportunity to improve its bowl positioning and we could be in line for a better bowl (say the Holiday) than the "experts" are projecting.
