Cotton vs sip or okie lite

Ick. We just played okie lite. And who wants A&M vs texass in the Cotton, during a pandemic? Turrible.

Any opportunity to beat the sips is a good time to play football. BTHOtu

Solely based on the fact that there are about 40% fewer relevant teams playing this year, there's a much higher chance of us playing tu in a bowl game. Now combine that with the fact that we are both aiming for 7-9 wins. So I'm tellin' you there's a chance.

sounds like fake news.

every media outlet is required to project Aggies to Texas Bowl ever year.

ESPN is paying tu $305M and desperate for viewers. Don't do it.

Yes, the complete collapse of tu's program is imminent due to not having a game with us.

If Big Ten doesn't pull a miracle and play in a few weeks, I'd say the chances of playing tu in the Cotton Bowl increase dramatically this year. We both have chances to be really good and there will be far fewer other matchup opportunities of opponents.

Don't forget that the fabric of the state has steadily unraveled since 2011...there will be lots of over emotional impetus to do this if the teams are remotely decent and NOT playoff bound.

So now we are mad they predict us going to a New Years 6 Bowl?

And like most years we'll both have similar records and both sides will refuse to play each other and silently work the back channels to make sure it doesn't happen.

Problem might be that THIS is the year both programs would be needing the CA$H from a bowl game like that.

Mond vs Ehlinger? Yeah, that's not in A&M's favor.

Imagine getting butthurt over a fictitious bowl selection before a single game has been played


I'm glad I'm not OP. That's got to be rough.

exactly right. There just aren't that many teams in the mix this year.

if would be quite a shock if A&M were not in the Cotton or Texas or Alamo this year.

which means it's almost a 100% lock the Ags will be playing yet another Big 12 opponent in a bowl game

note: the Alamo has an opening with the Pac-12's cancelled season...and it's local

I am just wondering why they didn't do the initial bowl projection in February or March, or right after the national championship game last year. Or during halftime of that game.

As a resident of the SA area I'd welcome that!! The RW would be nuts!!

This is actually a slight improvement in the typical bowl projections, that have A&M facing some Big 12 scrub in the Texas Bowl. Of course, that actually happened last season. I doubt we'll be playing Oklahoma State again, and I'm reasonably certain sippy isn't going to the Fiesta Bowl. Now they're just moving their typical lazy prediction a few hours up I-45.

I will concur that the chances that we get matched with sippy for a bowl game are high for this season, given the Big 10 and Pac 12's possible absence from the football scene.

They play in a terrible conference & only three power 5 conferences are playing football. Texas will most likely play in a NY6 game.

Why not? If anything the QB matchup is even in this scenario.

I can see this happening because both teams are close and don't have to leave the State and can follow the same state guidelines for COVID, fans, etc.

That conference didn't become terrible all of a sudden. What is their record in conference over the last several years again?

well, the return of the B1G certainly changes the bowl outlook...especially the NY6.

will probably cost the SEC a 5th or 6th team in the CFP/NY6.

suggest putting any A&M-to-the-Cotton Bowl plans on hold
