Didn't ISU wear the banana peel uniforms for that game?
EDIT: nope, I was wrong. I was thinking of the 2010 game where ISU wore yellow jerseys over cardinal pants.

Probably not but it isn't unprecedented. I believe Minnesota was in their second of back to back years when we faced them in the Insight Bowl. It was also their third visit in four years. But to the point, Gopher fan attendance was down that year.

Yes, it was down in comparison to their numbers the previous two trips to the Insight Bowl.
I'm just making a joke about their attendance generally being crap.
No argument from me, I live among them. Their football stadium is nice but they had to put a huge hole at the end of it to keep from having a bunch of empty seats. And the barn? Well calling it a barn is being nice...
You are correct, I edited my post to reflect that. ... Or maybe TT would drop to a 9 with loss (I could see committee doing something like that) in which case it'd be on the road in round1
they'd at least drop to 9, I think BYU would climb to 5-6. Then it depends on if Bama beats Georgia how far they fall. If Bama beats Georgia then I think Tech and ND are vying for the final spot. I think Tech would get that spot (if for nothing else than to eliminate the Miami/ND talking point)
If Bama loses to Georgia then Tech/Alabama/ND are fighting for the final two spots. If they have ND ranked ahead of Alabama tonight (I don't see why that would change now) I'm not what scenario exists that would have Alabama jump them with a loss considering part of Alabama's resume is having already beat Georgia so a close loss shouldn't move the needle.
I'm rooting for a BYU and Duke win because both of those situations are fascinating
I'm willing to bet ND won't miss the playoff until at least the next round of conference realignment. They need to lose 3 games minimum to not get considered.
BYU has more money than Bama.. Time for the Church to start back channeling this IMO. Flex the billions in AUM where it matters
Tech wouldn’t really have to “battle” ND or Bama. They’re solidly ahead of both. I’m sure Tech will be number 4 tonight. They’re not going to drop them 7 spots for a neutral field loss to #11 if they were to lose to BYU.
I think they’d drop probably behind OU. Which would be 5 spots. That’s what I expect A&M to drop tonight after they lost to Texas.
McMurphy updated his projections today from Sunday. Clones still in same location but versus different team:
Liberty Bowl (Jan. 2)
Memphis, Tenn.
Iowa State vs. Navy

Probably important to the committee to ensure there's something for Tech to play for in the championship game, because a lackluster effort in a meaningless outcome for them, that benefits BYU, really messes up other preferred outcomes that they have been trying to lay out with their rankings.
Tech definitely has something to play for. They’re going to want that CFP bye for sure.
The Big 12 absolutely wants 2 teams in.
Think of it this way, It's almost 2 am, last call, and there are 2 chicks ready to accompany you back to your dorm room instead of one. You take both and see what happens.

Rumor on Reddit is that the team expects a lot of transfers and didn’t want to end up like Marshall last year where you don’t have enough players to play.
