Updated Bowl Projections

Again... the importance of yesterday's loss cannot be understated. It might be the difference between playing in a BCS bowl and the New Mexico Bowl.

I understand playing to win... but that's not what we did. We knelt down with 40 secs left with our tails between our legs. That is fact. If Rhoads is so "gutsy", he should have given his offense the chance to win it in regulation. Just my opinion.

REALLY??? And say Austen threw a pick down there and Nebraska scored. Then how would you change your story? CPR made the right choice there. Prove it in overtime.

Look what Tech did when we went for it at the end of the half.
 
I'm still unconcerned about a Bowl bid. I think with our SOS (though after yesterday it's gone down a bit...) if we end the season at 6-6 (though I'm confident it will be 7-5, but only time will tell) we will get a B12 bowl bid. Though, and even Clonedude will agree, considering at the beginning of the season most of us were going to be ecstatic with a 6-6 record...we should be excited to be speculating about this.
 
nope, we were selected over Mizzou, for a bowl game and they are a lot higher in the pecking order right now. Unfortunately, its a mix of texas teams right where we are and of course the bottom Big XII bowl selections are bowls in Texas:skeptical:
we jumped over mizzou because of our history of traveling well..

In the 2010-2011 Manual, the bylaws from Article 30 have been consolidated with other Articles. The portion that was Bylaw 30.9.2 in the 2009-2010 Manual is Bylaw 18.7.2.2. Note the difference in language between the two, as well as the portion missing from the new manual.

From the 2009-2010 Manual:
30.9.2 Contest Status. [FBS] A contest shall be licensed only if it serves the purpose of providing a national contest between deserving winning teams. A “deserving winning team†shall be defined as one that has won a minimum of six games against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents and that has more wins than losses. Tie games do not count in determining a team’s won-lost record. Further, when forfeiture of a regular-season football victory is required by the Committee on Infractions, a conference or self-imposed by an institution as a result of a
violation of NCAA rules, neither of the competing institutions may count that contest in satisfying the definition of a “deserving winning team.â€(Revised: 10/18/89, 10/12/93, 4/20/99, 12/15/06)
30.9.2.1 Exception—12-Game Season. [FBS] An institution with a record of six wins and six losses may be selected for participation in a bowl game under the following circumstances: (Adopted: 4/27/06 effective 8/1/06)
(a) The institution or its conference has a primary contractual affiliation, which existed prior to the first contest of the applicable season, with the sponsoring bowl organization. In the case of a conference contractual affiliation, all conference teams with winning records must be placed in one of the contracted bowl games before any institution with a record of six wins and six losses may be placed in a contracted bowl game. There shall be no contingency agreements with other sponsoring bowl organizations intended to enable an institution with a record of six wins and six losses to become eligible for those contests; or
(b) All contractual affiliations per Bylaw 30.9.2.1-(a) have been fulfilled and all institutions with winning records have received bowl invitations (either through a contractual affiliation or as an at-large selection).
30.9.2.2 Exception—Football Championship Subdivision Opponent. [FBS] Each year, a Football Bowl Subdivision institution may count one victory against a Football Championship Subdivision opponent toward the six-win minimum, provided the opponent has averaged 90 percent of the permissible maximum number of grants-in-aid per year in football over a rolling two-year period. (Adopted: 10/28/97 effective 8/1/98, Revised: 4/28/05, 12/15/06)
30.9.2.2.1 Waiver. [FBS] The Football Issues Committee may approve a waiver of the 90 percent requirement to permit a Football Bowl Subdivision institution to count a victory against a Football Championship Subdivision opponent toward meeting the six-victory requirement when a unique or catastrophic situation affects the Football Championship Subdivision institution’s ability to average 90 percent of the permissible maximum number of football grants-in-aid per year over a rolling two-year period. (Adopted: 8/11/98, Revised: 4/28/05, 12/15/06)
30.9.2.3 Waiver for Conference Champion. [FBS] The Leadership Council, by a two-thirds majority of its members present and voting, or a committee designated by the Leadership Council, may approve a waiver of the six-victory requirement to enable a conference champion to participate in a bowl game when the conference
champion is scheduled contractually to participate in the game. (Adopted: 1/12/93, Revised: 10/28/97, 11/1/07 effective 8/1/08)

cbs sports projection update

Looks like they've updated us to going to the fight hunger bowl on Jan 9th in San Fran. against Fresno St. I'd love to play in this bowl, but it's basically a home game for them if this happens.
Whats the over/under on how many hawk fans will pull a complete 180 and say January bowls dont mean anything anymore if/when we play said bowl? :twitcy:
