Official Bowl Watch thread

Win this weekend and I can’t see us falling any lower than Houston right? I’d like to think that Camping World is the lowest but there’s still a lot of games left.

I'd be happy to see us avenge our NC State bowl loss by beating them in Orlando.

huh?

 

[Dr.bannedman]

Might just be me but NC State and Syracuse really don’t get me that excited. I’m sure they are good teams but can we get a name with some clout once?

syracuse reminds me of iowa playing georgia tech in a new years bowl.

 

[everyyard]

huh?

77 peach bowl. Can you even avenge a loss after 40 years?

oh yeah. It was 40 years ago who cares lol.

 

[CNECloneFan]

Short of the Sugar Bowl, I want the Alamo Bowl and a Pac-10 (12,14, whatever) team, rahter than Syracuse in Orlando.

Oh yeah. Lol.

I think everyone is assuming that we'll lose to Texas.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Orlando is a nice floor. And I would get to go!

 

[BigJCy]

I think everyone is assuming that we'll lose to Texas.

Yeah it appears that way. This is how I think it will go:
Finish:
9-3 then good shot at Alamo or Sugar (if win Big 12 title game)
8-4 Orlando
7-5 Houston

What is the payout difference for the Alamo vs. Camping?

 

[RonBurgundy]

What is the payout difference for the Alamo vs. Camping?

Does not matter. All bowl revenue is split equally among all conference teams. We don't get more for a better bowl payout.

** However, our travel budget is larger for better bowls, so there is an indirect benefit.

I agree, but even if we beat UT, the Alamo can still pick them over us if they want.

Sugar can be win or lose.

OU is going to the CFP.
Michigan will get exposed at OSU.
Notre Dame w/ 2 tough ones left.
Georgia will lose to Bama.

But it’s really the only way to tell the difference in prestige level with the way the bowl system works these days.

True, but I'm not sure they will. ISU should have a lot of appeal.

Is it split between all 10 teams or just teams who qualify for a bowl?
