Ag's in Cotton Bowl vs OU or Iowa State. I freaking hate playing Big12 programs but if we do I hope its OU
ACC has an Orange Bowl tie in. Miami is going to the Orange Bowl.Quote:
Why would they want 8-3 ISU if they could snatch up 5-0 Wisconsin or or 9-1 Miami
Quote:
Seriously though, we should be favored in our last 3 games, that puts us at 9-1. If we don't make the playoff, why would we have to play a 3 or 4 loss team?
I think for sure Cotton will be Big 12 winner, unless the committee moves the semi-final sites. The Super Dome is allowing only a handful of fans and the Rose is allowing zero. Why not allow the Orange and Cotton to host the semis and host fans? It will screw up the rotation but hell everything else is screwed up this year already.BMX Bandit said:ACC has an Orange Bowl tie in. Miami is going to the Orange Bowl.Quote:

Wisconsin isn't currently high enough to make NY6.
The ISU projection assumes they win the Big 12.
Cotton Bowl is going to be Big 12 winner or a Group of 6 team. Most likely Big 12 IMO
shoot... if garbage tier bowls keep cancelling at this rate, a majority of the bowl games are actually gonna be worth watching.W said:

Well, the rumor is that bowl's are going to look at travel distance because of Covid. Not sure if true.

This is probably true but can we all agree it's stupid? I mean you are either traveling or not. COVID doesn't have a frequent flyer program that I am aware of.

Economic reality:
The normal business model expects certain travel costs. It expects certain revenue from tickets, parking and concessions. The amount of revenue will be down b/c of attendance restrictions. The travel costs will increase due to distancing requirements.
For bowls permitted to sell tickets:
More fans attend if they can buy a tank of gas instead of plane tickets.
For all:
Distancing means more seats necessary on a plane or bus. Bus cost a lot less than plane seats.
I'll start two a days and watching film right now. How about the rest of you guys?Bluecat_Aggie94 said:
We've got three games to go, and if the offense doesn't wake up, all three are challenging. Let's get through those before we start buying plane tix.
We brought mediocre numbers to the Music City and Belk. Our numbers for the Gator were straight up bad.Agsuffering@bulaw said:
Bowls always consider travel distance. Our geography just makes us attractive to the cotton and Houston. We didn't help ourselves by bringing mediocre numbers to the gator.
Last year, No. 9 Florida defeated No. 24 ACC Coastal Champion Virginia 36-28 in the Orange Bowl. So, we could be playing Miami in the Orange Bowl.erube said:
If we go 9-1, we would go to the Orange Bowl as they get the highest ranked non-playoff team of B10/SEC to go against the highest ranked non-playoff team of ACC. So at 9-1 and #5 seed it would be Orange likely against Miami.

3) How can a SEC Team be selected to participate in the Orange Bowl?
When the Orange Bowl is not a semifinal game and a SEC team is the highest ranked team by the CFP Selection Committee among the non-champions of the SEC and Big Ten and ranked higher than Notre Dame after the CFP semifinal games have been filled, then that team will participate in the Orange Bowl . There are eight years in which the Orange Bowl is not a semifinal game and the SEC is guaranteed three of the eight years, the Big Ten is guaranteed three of the eight years and the remaining two years can be filled by Notre Dame, the SEC or the Big Ten based on CFP Selection Committee rankings . The SEC Champion can never participate in the Orange Bowl unless it is a semifinal game.

Win out. Then worry about what happens next. And play one game at a time.
I'll note the NY6 games in spite of their prestige (think Rose Bowl) are second-tier games. A semi spot is available if we win out. Let's git'er done, boys.
