ISU Bowl Projection
- Thread starter Chitowncy
- Start date
Why is Memphis always in the Liberty Bowl? I wouldn’t mind going there, but I don’t want to keep playing an away game in that bowl.
I dont even think a P4 in the Liberty is going to excite a lot of fans. I think the Memphis fatigue is that much.
Reading between the lines I think we're going to Arizona no matter what
I don't think there is a chance we go to Memphis. Curious what happens if BYU beats Tech and two Big 12 teams make the playoffs...do we accept a Texas Bowl invite over the Rate?
I don’t think you need to squint your eyes, it’s practically on an I35 billboard.
When is the vote for us fans to decide what bowls we go to? The ADs decide and they care about payouts. If you think that doesn’t matter to then JP must not be worried about the NIL stuff happening.
I mean it really is not a choice. Texas picks before Rate, we take what we get invited to.
Yes there is some politicking to a point before the pick, but when it comes down to it, you take the top bowl, which is the bowl that chooses first, when the invite is offered.
If it's the Rate Bowl I don't see a way Nebraska falls that far in the B1G selection order. Might get Penn St. though thanks to the B1G rule that you can't jump a team two games ahead in conference record. Probably need PSU over Rutgers, Minny over Wiscy, and Michigan to miss the playoffs.
If we lost to this ****** Nebraska team we should just shut down the football program forever.
Because the SEC always "just happens" to not have enough eligible teams, even though they somehow have teams available to play in bowls farther down the food chain.
I believe there have been 5 occasions where ISU should have played an SEC school in a bowl game, but *whoopsie, not enough SEC teams!* -- the second trip to Shreveport ('04), Houston ('05), and the three trips to Memphis.
I wonder if some Memphis fans might kinda wanna play "elsewhere" against a non-ISU opponent, too.
So @Messi posts about his top 5 favorite bowl destinations in a magical hypothetical.
And you respond with "so you don't care about payouts".
And my point was it's disappointing that the current state of college athletics has led some fans care more about bowl payouts than the actual destination.
And then you entirely missed the point by posting about what ADs and Pollard want.
P.S. the bowl payouts go the conference, are combined and then shared equally.
lol, yeah I know, that was my point. The ADs decide and they care about how much money they will get.
S H I T - would take that in a heartbeat but SI hasn't been right about anything for about a decade.
I usually don’t give a **** about uniforms, but for this game you gotta bust out these gems:

The SEC will be a decider for many CFP contenders, while the bowl picture is coming into focus as more teams hit the six-win mark.
