We're Going (Alamo) Bowling!!!

[salonghorn 204]

It seems that if Kansas State gets beaten really bad in the championship, then that might enhance our chances for the Sugar Bowl.

I want Mack at the cheez-it... If only for the meltdown that ensues when he thumps Sarcheezian

[mrhorn 1383]

Hoping for a TCU blowout win. Went back and looked at their Game with K State earlier this year and forgot that K State was up 28-10 before giving up 28 unanswered. Hopefully that run continues.

So you want us to lose a bowl game?

That would be a battle between whichever team's freshman QB melts down first.

I just want to see Bijan in Burnt Orange one more time… But unless it’s the Sugar Bowl, I suspect he’ll opt out.

Bijan in a bowl game would scare Mack to death.

So if TCU loses is everyone presuming Ohio State jumps them and is in? I’m not convinced that’s the case. Assuming Michigan, USC and Georgia all take care of business, a 1 loss TCU’s resume would be far better than OSU. Maybe I trust the committee too much.

All of this is to say:

TCU CFP
KSU Sugar
Texas Alamo

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

But he said "No" followed by "dot dot dot".  SO IT COULD HAPPEN

Yahoo has us in the Sugar, this morning.

They have since updated their projections and now have us playing Utah in the Alamo.

[jettrink 40]

My prediction:  Cam Rising beats the dog shit outta USC.  So reevaluate bowl projections.

Why? tOSU had a slightly tougher schedule and would have the better loss.

Alamo against Utah. So hope for a Utah upset of USC and we'll get Washington. 

 

[YGIFS 19450]

Since it quite appears we're stuck in the Big XII next season (2023-24 academic year), the inevitable realignment of Big XII bowl contracts will also change.  Only thing that bounces us to Orlando is some behind-the-scenes manipulation so Cheez-It can get Texas for its one and only chance, and then the whole stack is rearranged for 2024-25 and Alamo has an extra bargaining chip for taking Texas Tech over Texas in 2022.  But I'd put that at 5%, if that.  We're obviously gonna fill all our slots next year with 14 teams.  And the NY6/nonCFP Big XII bowl game (Cotton or Fiesta), and Alamo Bowl will have more interesting choices.  

In the end, Thursday 29 December at 8:10p-CST...we kickoff to Utah or Washington.  Any slight chance USC falls to the Alamo Bowl if they lose the Pac-12 championship game or is there setup like ours where even the loser is still guaranteed a NY6 bowl?

From the Sugar Bowl website:

The Allstate Sugar Bowl will host the champions of the SEC and the Big 12 unless either or both of those champions are selected for the College Football Playoff. If either of the champions do qualify for the playoff, another highly-ranked representative from the conference(s) will play in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. In the case of the SEC, the replacement team would be the top-ranked non-playoff team. In the case of the Big 12, the replacement team would be the next non-playoff team with the best record in the regular-season standings.

Utah is just too good to be in the Alamo and if USC wins, won't the Utes go to the Rose? 

Besides, i don't want any part of Cameron Rising beating Texas, would be really embarrassing.  Too bad Texas didn't retain him, we'd be so much better in 2021 definitely and 2022 most likely. 

Edited November 28, 2022 by Make em eat Taco Bell

[YGIFS 19450]

Yes, the Rose has a very similar agreement with the Pac-12 as we have with the Sugar Bowl.  Though it's not as 100% concrete.  In the first place, if Utah loses---they're "regular season" record would be 9-4, with Washington waiting there at 10-2.  And Oregon and UCLA at 9-3.  These are three teams the Rose Bowl would rather have than Utah.  But then, not every conference treats championship games as "regular season", some treat it as "post-season."  I have no idea what the Pac-12's view on Utah at 9-4 is, or will they treat them as 9-3 and equal to UCLA and Oregon?  There is also a decent chance that with a close win, USC gets left outta the playoff and heads to Rose making all this mute/moot/mott-thehoople.  

Big winner in all this is the Alamo Bowl.  They're gonna get a massive, massive name from the Pac-12 to face Texas.

If your goal with this post was to sound like a tremendous pussy, congratulations, you nailed it. 

Also, Texas would be favored over Utah with both teams at full strength. That's a necessary caveat with non-playoff bowl games these days, of course.

I don't want to play Utah because we already have done so in recent years and they just seem kind of boring as an opponent.

Agreed. I like their uniforms, and Whittingham seems like a good enough dude, but mid-talent, well-drilled, and conservative is a lot less fun than a higher-variance team.

[4th&Five 41535]

It’s a mid level bowl game that nobody will remember a week after it’s over. Just get a 9th win.

This Bulletin Board pencildick “I’m too cool to care about a bowl game” bullshit act is laughable. If you don’t want to watch and enjoy a game against a quality opponent in the middle of the Holidays then that’s on you…and you can enjoy your miserable life.

…..Unless you’re at a hunting camp or something with no access.

A win will be fun. Utah, Washington…who really cares as long as we win? So many opt outs these days that it’s hard to know what team we’ll see anyway.

-Guy who'll fly to Las Vegas for his fantasy draft to play pretend administrator (not coach or player) but thinks some guys from a mid-major MAC team having too much fun in Birmingham that costs him absolutely nothing is a tragic affront to the sanctity of football

[NOOBSDUDE 588]

Might we get USC if the lose to Utah in the CCG? Utah would take the rose bowl no?

[mdmost 43001]

I think usc would take someone else’s at large spot like Penn State if usc loses the game against Utah. But then Washington would fall to us and that’s a lot better than Utah for damn sure.

I personally would prefer to someone we haven't played in a while. I guess Washington and UNC would be fine. But Florida State would be cool.

[Nivek 16928]

I don’t care who it is. Just win. I like bowl games. The alternate is worse and then football is over for a long time.

[DaysOff 7947]

Like the UW match up, but it's probably least likely.

Yep I've never understood the hate. It's football and match-ups you don't usually see. I enjoy bowl season but I would like someone other than Utah

Pretty much. 41 bowl games, I typically watch 3/4 of them.

Same, but could use some diversity from Utah/Oregon/Oregon State at Alamo Bowl or Arkansas/Mizzou at Texas Bowl. Cheez-It or Liberty would have been fun as a different venue and an ACC or SEC opponent.

This is it for me. Same location and Same opponent range. Not really anything to get excited about. Of course I will tune in, but I am not really heavily invested in the outcome.

[mdleast 8289]

For what it’s worth, The Athletic projects us in the Alamo vs UCLA. That is a much more exciting matchup to me than Utah.

[mdleast 8289]

Ugh I just realized this is one of those years where we get no bowl games on New Years Day (as it’s a Sunday). So…playoffs on New Years Eve and Rose Bowl game is on Monday the 2nd. Boo…
