***Official who should we root for to get ISU to the Alamo Bowl thread***

[Sparkplug]

It should help that OU has a brand of their own and a Heisman candidate.

Will their Heisman candidate pass on the Bowl game?

No pun intended

Zero chance OSU jumps OU. I’d be more worried about UGA beating Bama and the SEC getting 2.

Sounds like it’s a dang good chance.

The best interest for Iowa State is to get Oklahoma into the CFP for CFP money shared amongst the Big 12. Mo' money!

Precisely. With a convincing win over Texas, OU should get the 3 seed making it easier to advance to the championship game. Along with Texas in the Sugar, we'll be raking in the dough. Ever since realignment, I'm very pro Big 12.

If Ohio State beats Northwestern by 28 or more and Georgia loses by 14 or more put it in the bank. Ohio State will be number 4. Otherwise, Okie gets in with a win if Georgia loses. Just my opinion. Everyone thinks this is Urban's last year and they [tv] want the drama of it all.

I live in South Florida. Do not want Alamo. Gimme dat Orlando gig.

Well known fact, Alabama is legally exempt from any targeting calls.

Also the best defensive player for their opponents can't play in the first half due to targeting.

 

[tolfbfan]

ORLANDO PLEASE! Great chance we can be there!

I'll be in Maderia Beach from the 21st on. Two hour drive to Orlando. Any CF'ers welcome to drop by for drinks if bowl is in Florida.

You haven't been watching the NCAA then. They will move heaven, earth, and every TV exec in the universe to get OSU into the playoff. Has nothing to do with good, or deserving, body of work, best team or any other objective data. It has to do with branding and TV money.

I will be shocked if OU and OSU are not within a place of each other in tomorrow's CFP, and then when both win their CCG, OSU will jump OU because "already played Texas once, so the win is not as good". Which is a joke, because NW wouldn't be top half of the Big12.

Watch it happen, kids.

Just like you predicted. They even dropped Northwestern 2 spots to really sell it.

If OU beats Texas Saturday then there is absolutely zero reason they should be jumped by OSU. I really don’t trust this committee though.

 

[CyForPresident]

Our Alamo chances just went up.

Give. It. To. Me.

 

[Bestaluckcy]

Would love to see Notre Dame drop down to fourth because they do not play a championship game. Also OU in of course.

Jamie Pollard just said on the Coaches Corner that the Alamo Bowl asked how many of their 12,000 team tickets we would sell (as if that was a big number). Pollard said "All of them!" Essentially he said that if Texas is in a New Years 6 bowl, it will come down to Alamo picking between us and West Virginia. He finished the show talking about how we would turn San Antonio into a pep rally (maybe even doing something on the Incarnate Word campus).

It could happen, but it is no longer a Big 10 dominant committee, and its not OSU jumping Baylor or TCU. While not at the level of OSU or Michigan, Oklahoma still is a big name.

 

[Daserop]

Chaos. All i want for Christmas is an SEC ******* in the bum.

Also relevant-
This Ohio St got blown out by 6-6 instead of a close loss

This Ohio State faces #21 Northwestern with 4 losses instead of top ten Wisconsin

Having the SEC and B1G loss out would be a festivus miracle

I will never root for Texas so long as Herman is there…

Is this a joke? I think we'd sell 25,000.

Question: ***Official Who Should We Root For To Get ISU To The Alamo Bowl Thread***

Answer: Alabama and Northwestern

 

[IceCyIce]

Alabama and Oklahoma by an easy margin. The Ohio State game shouldn't matter unless they win by 50.
