FACTS:

Pacific-12* vs. Army*

* Should the Pac-12 fail to qualify enough teams to supply a team to the KFHB, or should Army fail to become bowl eligible, the Bowl has backup agreements with the MAC, ACC and WAC to provide a replacement team.

 :dunno: I think ESPN is just full of retards. Also I have a feeling Brad Edwards got his Kansas schools mixed up.  :flush:

Some local gang types are Raider fans, but anyone that's been in SD for any length of time comes to strongly dislike them. They're pretty horrible at the games and as people in general. They flood in from LA and TJ for the game and stab at least 1 person in the parking lot.

Yeah. I bet the Fiesta takes us as an at-large if Baylor makes it into the championship game. They are probably working the phones with the big money types right now to get us into the top 16 by the end of the season.

after some interneting i found that you are in fact correct. i was under the assumption that the champions bowl was separate from the sugar

The decision to lock in an SEC and Big 12 team into the Sugar Bowl, which is what the game will be called, is a byproduct of the new four-team playoff system where six bowl games will rotate as semifinal sites. Bowl games are basically allowed to make their own deals with conferences in years they aren't hosting the playoffs.

none I think

In years when the bowls are not part of the playoff bracket, the highest-ranked non-playoff teams from the following conferences or groups will be selected as follows:[25]

Rose Bowl — Big Ten #1 vs. Pac-12 #1
Sugar Bowl — SEC #1 vs. Big 12 #1
Orange Bowl — ACC #1 vs. SEC #2, Big Ten #2, or Notre Dame
Chick-fil-A Bowl — at-large or "Group of Five"
Cotton Bowl — at-large or "Group of Five"
Fiesta Bowl — at-large or "Group of Five"

I wonder how many other fanbases complain about the idea of playing in the Cotton or Fiesta bowls. Probably not very many!

OU has complained about going to the Fiesta every year. They are pretty much the only ones I know of, though.

Everyone is assuming we lose to TCU and Baylor (at a minimum), which would mean we'd probably fall behind TCU, OU, and/or Baylor as 4th in the pecking order.

The only difference between the Alamo and Russell is whether or not we get two teams into the CFB Playoff Bowls.  Like TCU in the actual playoff and, say, a 10-2 OU in the Cotton Bowl or something.  That would if we were 9-3 and Baylor were 9-3, they may take us in the Alamo over them, or we get bumped to the Russell.

I've seen some projections of us in the Texas.

Really, by beating TCU, we probably go no lower than the Alamo.  But the wide assumption is that we lose this game.

It is remarkable how we have made 11 bowls since then and managed to avoided it.  It is maybe the best bowl tie in we have from a destination/travel/opponent stand point and hope we go there if don't make the playoff, maybe even over the Cotton as an atlarge since we might get stuck with the non P5 opponent.

Right now, I'd say there 3 bowls we could go to. Cotton, Alamo, and Russell Athletic. We'd only get Cotton if we win out. We'd get the Russell if we lose to WV and BU (most likely, I would assume Alamo would want OU over us if they can get it). Anything else barring losing to ku too means we land in the Alamo, which seems to be the most likely option, which really isn't bad considering it's the highest bowl Big 12's got that's not in the CFP/CFP Bowl sites.

Seems like the Big12 getting a team in the playoff AND a team in the at-large is required for us to get the Alamo, right?

I am not sure that would work, I don't think the big 12 has any kind of "in" with the Cotton anymore and the playoff committee determines who goes where.  So the scenario that sends TCU & BU to the playoff prolly makes a SEC West team a lock for the Cotton with whole bunch of 2 loss teams ahead of the 3 loss cats.

I only see us going to the RAB if either Baylor or TCU loses one of their other games. 10-2 gets us the Cotton, 9-3 gets the Alamo, and 8-4 gets the Texas. Orlando would be fun, but I don't see it happening if they can have WV or OU.

I agree if OU wins out but if OU gets another loss (they still have @TT and home for OSU) I could see only one of TCU or BU in the playoff or at-large with the other in the Alamo putting us as really the only option for Orlando.  Worst case is we beat BU but both of us are snubbed as an at-large at 10-2.

Whoever gets in the playoff, the other team will be in the new bowl alliance at the fiesta or cotton bowl. That leaves the third team with the Alamo bowl and the 4th at the RAb. That's why I think we're a lock for the Alamo.

Atlantic. I enjoy Cocoa Beach. I've been there a few times.

Had a grouper sandwich at a place right on the main street there that was pretty great. Weird named place like jazzy's or something.

Same record? I guess overall. We still beat them by a game in the conference and beat them head to head, so I don't know if I want the shitty team that lost to another shitty team that just got pounded on National TV to a team that also piss pounded that team. You get my drift?!  :gocho: Oh and their starting qb is also out for pretty much the season.

There should be enough qualifiers for their tie ins already in the top 12. Should be enough At Large spots left that it won't matter. You might be right on the top 11 not necessarily getting bids. Not sure how it's supposed to work

The Atlantic Coast Conference is locked into a 12 year deal with the Orange Bowl, so if the ACC champion qualifies for the playoffs in a year when the Orange is not a semifinal host, the next-highest ranked ACC team will play in the Orange. If the ACC champ makes an Orange Bowl semifinal, then the league’s No. 2 team heads to an access bowl. For the secondary tie-ins: The Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten Conference are guaranteed three appearances each, and the University of Notre Dame can play in a maximum of two games, but is not guaranteed any appearances. The ACC team's opponent in a given year will be the highest-ranked available team from the SEC, big 10 (this always excludes the SEC and Big Ten champions. If an SEC or Big Ten team—or teams—qualify for the College Football Playoff, the next available team would also be excluded from participating in the Orange Bowl due to contractual obligations with the Sugar and Rose Bowls, respectively), and Notre Dame, subject to these constraints. Also, should this highest-ranked team create a rematch with the ACC team, the Orange Bowl has the option of passing over that team for the next-highest ranked team among the big 10, SEC, and Notre Dame, again subject to the above contractual constraints. The College Football Playoff committee's rankings will be used to select the ACC's opponent. The other four will be College Football Playoff berths. Also ESPN holds the television rights for the next 12 years as well

Arizona staying in front of us and the ACC tie in kept us out.  :'bye cruel world:

Arizona dropping 2 after getting their dick ripped off is great.

This only happened because we've been to PHX each of the last two years and they really didn't have anywhere else to send us.





ucla could easily beat us.  they have way better players than we do.  like, way way better.  like, it's not even funny how much more talented they are than we are.

I think by now everybody here realizes that you feel this way about every team in the entirety of CFB.

Let's look at it this way.

Keep in mind if we get a team into the playoff we bump up a bowl game. I think that is most likely, but considering I am a pessimist, here are our bowl pairings if no BIGXII team makes the playoff.

BIG XII #3:

KSU 10-2 (7-2) -

So to be 3rd. . .we beat everyone but Baylor and TCU. (Russel Athletic vs ACC #2)

Preaseason picks have ACC #2 mostly likely to be Florida State, Clemson, or Louisville.

BIG XII #4:

KSU 9-3 (6-3) -

To be 4th. . .we lose to Baylor, TCU, and one out of : OU, OSU, UT, WVU, TTU, ISU, and KU. . . which is doable. (Autozone Liberty Bowl vs SEC #3-#8)

Preaseason picks would have us paired up with one of Auburn, LSU, Florida, Ole Miss, Arkansas, or Tennessee.

BIG XII #5:

KSU 8-4 (5-4) -

To be 5th. . . we lose to Baylor, TCU, and two out of : OU, OSU, UT, WVU, TTU, ISU, and KU. . . which is likely. (Cactus Bowl vs PAC 12 #6)

Preaseason picks would have us paired up with one of Washington, Cal, UCLA, or Arizona.

BIG XII #6:

KSU 7-5 (4-5) -

To be 6th. . . we lose to Baylor, TCU, and three out of : OU, OSU, UT, WVU, TTU, ISU, and KU. . . which is worst case IMO. (AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl vs. SEC #9 or #10)

Preaseason picks would have us paired up with either Mizzou, South Carolina, or Texas A&M.

BIG XII #7:

KSU 6-6 (3-6) -

To be 7th we win our non-cons and beat KU, ISU, and one of TTU, WVU, UT, OSU, and OU. . . which I think is only achievable if we are much more atrocious than we appear. I think our defense alone could guarantee this record. (If Army isn't available - Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl vs. American Athletic Conference #5)

Preaseason picks would have us paired up with either Memphis, Temple, or UCF.

Post by: TownieCat on August 26, 2015, 08:54:43 AM
I don't see a scenario where the Big 12 doesn't have two teams as part of the New Year's Six bowl games. Everyone will bump up a bowl game.

I don't disagree. There is zero part of me that would want to make the trip for that game,
And zero part of me that would get excited for that game. The ONLY plus side to that game is IF we won we could avoid another long bowl losing streak which means absolutely nothing.

If we finish 6-6 definitely. There was an article about the 5-7 teams that stated it hasn't been determined how the bowl order for them would work yet. If we do finish 5-7 the big 12 wouldn't have all of our bowl slots filled so it would make sense to send us to the heart of dallas bowl.

Don't most schools lose money going to lower tier bowl games?

Well cat...
-The schools that lose money on bowls are schools that are forced to take on huge ticket buy guarantees at high dollar amounts. This usually happens when a group of 5 school qualifies for what was previously known as a BCS bowl. Power 5 schools with terrible support, like Maryland, also fell victim to this. Obviously none of these things would be an issue for Mizzou playing in the Independence Bowl. If they did lose money it would be a miniscule amount.
-The SEC nor anyone else cares about overall bowl records.
-December 14-January 13 is a recruiting dead period, so nope they won't be on the recruiting trail.

I think this is a missed opportunity for the new coaching staff to have a month to install their systems and frankly for the players to get some swag and to spend more time together.

Mizzou's play-by-play guy was on with BRITB today and other than telling Kevin about 50 times "right on with everything you said" with regard to the protests and saying that the situation was the product of "a very liberal environment," made it seem like they are beneath taking a bowl bid at 5-7.

Flights to Memphis from DFW are cheap... Although there are rumblings that the Motel 6 Bowl is s done deal, I'm really hoping that we end up in either Memphis or Dallas.

Someone here indicated Snyder prefers to use the practices to develop the younger players as opposed to strictly game planning the bowl opponent. If true, it kind of explains why we suck in bowl games but are fairly consistent from one year to the next (with a few obvious exceptions).

It's probably that during a one week period, he is really good at game planning and scheming. But when both coaching staffs have weeks to prepare for a game, it's a wash and he is an average coach.

Post by: joda on December 01, 2015, 12:07:07 PM
It seems like many times when Snyder & Co have extra time to prepare they over scheme. It seems like many times when there's a bye week or bowl game, they come out with a gameplan completely opposite what they would normally do. Kind of a "they think we'll do this, so we'll do this. But they'll think we'll do that because they'll think we'll think they'll think we'll do this, so we better do this instead."

Of course they've done that already most of the season, so who knows.

'10 - syracuse, good start but LOSS

continuing on... this is kind of selective history in that i'm not including anything before '01, but if you look at k-state's last 9 bowls, we started like crap in all but 2 of them. so it just kind of feels like we always come out unprepared.

'06 - rutgers, bad start and LOSS (not snyder, i know)

Someone should go back and see how we have done against the spread in bowl games over Snyder's career.

I'm guessing that we are 2/3 points per game underperform, and that it jumps to 4/5 points per game if you only count bowl games from 2000 to the present.

I don't think we'd do "dirty, dirty things" to anyone but you have to see the difference between 2015 Arkansas and 2016 Georgia.

I've watched a couple of Georgia games, and they're just not good.

They have a freshman QB that isn't all that good, as has been mentioned, Chubb's production is down, and they just aren't the same.

Arkansas ended 2015 at #11 in the F/+ ratings.  Georgia is currently 51st. 

Georgia is currently 104th in the nation in yards per attempt.  It's not like they have a prolific passing offense.  They're 43rd in yards per rush.  They have the 93rd rated offense in yards per play, which is worse than ours.  Their defense is rated 82nd in Yards per play.

I mean, I can provide more data, but there's no need.  Georgia is just a really flawed team.

The place that chose us for the Vegas Bowl hasn't had us at bowl eligible all year until this week. The only way it would only work out with the Las Vegas Bowl is if we finished 8th, and the Big 12 only gets 1 team in the NY6 + CFP bowls, and the Pac-12  can't fill the spot.

Armed Forces Bowl vs Navy
Title: Re: Bowl Projections

If we played Navy, the game might have 5 possessions. Total.

despite a lot of calls for the Armed Forces bowl by projectors, i don't think K-State will be the lowest Big 12 Bowl team. i think the Cactus Bowl will grab us, and i don't think we will get sent back to the Liberty Bowl nor will the Texas Bowl reach for us.

watching bowl projections and trying to take those projections and formulate my own prediction for the cats became a love of mine back in 2002 when my family decided we would be going to the K-State Bowl game.

if you don't want to play a Pac-12 or SEC team, the only real option, is the Armed Forces bowl. If we win out we could possibly still get into the Russel Athletic Bowl, and if we do that we are playing the top ACC school that isn't in a NY6 Bowl game. Otherwise it is SEC or Pac-12. We have no tie-ins that correspond with the big 10, or a lower tier ACC bowl.

Some tricky stuff would have to happen for us to play USC in a bowl game anymore. Remaining games vs Washington, UCLA, and Notre Dame. The two Big 12/Pac-12 Bowl games are the Cactus Bowl and Alamo Bowl. If USC wins out they could end up in the Alamo Bowl. If K-State wins out, it is highly unlikely K-State ends up in the Alamo Bowl, but there would still be a small chance. If USC loses out they could end up in the Cactus Bowl, but it is looking like their floor would be the Vegas Bowl. All in all i would say there is less than a 5% chance we end up playing USC in a bowl game.

Finish in footballoutsiders metrics:
15 Arkansas #11
14 UCLA #12
12 Oregon #3
11 Arkansas #16

FWIW, I'm fine with playing opponents similarly rated, like 12 and 14. Last year Ark was simply much better. We were better than Michigan and should have won in 13. Arkansas was quite a bit better in 11.

Of course the converse is we were much better than Syracuse in 10 and managed to blow that game.

Agreed.

In the olden days when I used to go to bowl games, location mattered to me a great deal.

Now, I'd say day of the week and time of day are the most important factors to me.

If Snyder ends his career with a beatdown of the same low-rent team that he notched his first ever win against, would that be a sad ending to his career or a storybook end? Let's say storybook.

I went there for the Dunn/Roberson QB rotation bowl. It was a pretty awful place to watch football, all the seats point toward home plate so you are always tilted in your seat toward one corner of the field. Very strange.

Chase field is a pretty decent baseball stadium, except they almost never open the roof, which is a damn shame. It could use a little bit of updating though. Really strange for football - almost no room at the end of the fields and the temporary stands are gross.

I did see a KSU fan sucker punch a Cuse fan at the 01 Insight bowl though on the 2nd level. Guys head split open and bled like crazy and the KSU fan booked it out of the stadium.

Cactus Bowl vs Arizona State

Seems weird the Cactus would take ASU again, especially given how they've played this year. No one here is excited about the team or their future since the AD announced Graham would be back next year. Doubt they'd draw too well but I suppose it could be their only option.

it's that or Armed Forces. would probably need to win out to jump up to the Texas Bowl imo, being a 7 win team we would either be slotted for Liberty or Cactus, and if we are slotted for Liberty there is a better chance we would get dropped to the Cactus than Texas Bowl reaching for us.

Yes, both of those. Maybe sprinkle in an New Mexivco, El Paso, or a Vegas bowl. I think it would be great if P5 conferences rotated their affiliates every 10 years or so.

I agree with everything you said except Arizona. I hated going to Phoenix back to back years, but it's a nicer location than others. Forget Memphis though. Anything outside of Beale Street was a freaking dump. El Paso? Not without a collection of small arms strapped to me.

If you guys would like to follow along or just throw darts at lil crap, be my guest. At least El Paso would be some new terrain.

Their bowl game has always looked pretty cool on TV.
Good grief. You can see the stink lines coming off of that place.

FTR I think El Paso would be a fine place if the city of El Paso (or Juarez) wasn't there.  I like the peacefulness of the desert.  It's the humans that eff it up. 

Obviously has nothing to do with a bowl game.  I don't think El Paso vs Detroit is an argument worth having, they're both in the "not going" category.  Even Houston is gross.  DFW is fun but been there done that.

I hate Arizona Stadium more than I hate Sun Devil Stadium.  I have only been to one game since my Freshman year at the UofA and it was a mistake to go back.  It was for the Territorial Cup back in 2010, that went into overtime with the missed FGs and extra points.  I won't go back until K-State plays there in 2025 or whenever it is. 

Yeah, UofP Stadium is just meh, but it is definitely better than anything else in Arizona.  Chase isn't bad, but just not a football stadium.  McKale is nice.  Talking Stick Arena is ok.  The Coyotes one is nice.  But when it comes to the two DI college football stadiums, they are both horrible.  Sun Devil just less horrible than AZ Stadium.  Fitting considering how bad both teams are this year.

Very little to no chance we play Arkansas again. Very few times will bowl games set up the same matchup from the last year. In theory the best chance for that to happen would be in the Liberty bowl again, but I would just be absolutely shocked for that to occur.

No idea why we don't have a bowl with the big 10.

I was sort of considering going to the Cactus Bowl if they made it.  However, I saw that it is played in the the Dbacks stadium instead of in Tempe....

Yeah, the Insight.com Bowl was a disaster there, but then again, Sun Devil Stadium is just as big of a hullabaloo hole as the rest of them.  They need to play it in the new stadium in Glendale for it to be worth going.  Until then it will always be a third or fourth tier bowl. 


Damn!  He trippin' so hard fans are gonna think he done fell off!

You're a little biased considering you're an Arizona fan, but Sun Devil Stadium is getting renovated nicely here over the next 2 years. UofP in Glendale is just ok. Not bad, not good, just meh.

Also - I was considering going to Tucson on Friday for the Territorial Cup. Worth going or no?

I hate Arizona Stadium more than I hate Sun Devil Stadium.  I have only been to one game since my Freshman year at the UofA and it was a mistake to go back.  It was for the Territorial Cup back in 2010, that went into overtime with the missed FGs and extra points.  I won't go back until K-State plays there in 2025 or whenever it is.

Yeah, it's a little bit nicer with the end zone addition, but it's like a poor man's Vanier.  Doesn't change the fact that the rest of the stadium, press box especially, is a dump.  And looks odd with that on one end of the field and a huge big screen on the other end.  Not to mention the dumpster fire of a team they put on the field. 

I usually go to a handful of games at McKale.  I do like going to them.  As for recommendations, any conference game of course and hopefully Trier is back when you come.  The out of conference home schedule is pretty lame.  UCLA with Lonzo Ball would be fun to see. Cal with Ivan Rabb, and I know Oregon doesn't play at McKale this year, but if Washington does, Fultz is another one to watch out for. 

I was really looking forward to Ray Smith playing this year, so once he went down again, kind of ruined my season.  Lauri is the real deal though and Kobi will be good once he figures it out and isn't so raw.

If we beat TCU we will go to the Texas Bowl

With recent news of Baylor saying they WILL accept a bowl win if we lose we will go to the Cactus Bowl (http://cdn.espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/18159913/baylor-bears-intend-play-postseason-bowl-game)

Only way for things to change is if we get 2 teams in the NY6 Bowl Games.

Winner of OU and OSU will go to the Sugar. If OSU beats OU and it is a super close game and Wisconsin blows out Penn State.

Also WV at 10-2 could find their way in the NY6 if they murder Baylor, and if OU blows out OSU, and Wisconsin blows out Penn State.

if we find 2 teams in the NY6 and we beat TCU we end up in the Russel Athletic Bowl.

It would be very nice, but it looks like that's highly unlikely unless OU/OSU sneaks into the playoffs. Maybe they would take a 8-4 KSU over a 9-3 WVU, but that requires us beating TCU and WVU losing to Baylor. Even with that, it seems unlikely.

Looks like its down to Texas or Liberty.

This is exactly what they should have done. I know we love Kirby but they messed this up. There is no way in the world Navy should jump into a New Year's six bowl off of the strength of beating Army. I'm sure Western Michigan would love to play against Northern Illinois next week if it meant they could go to the cotton bowl.

Not far from reality, had the lead in the 4th vs OSU/WVU and if we would've scheduled like Snyder 1.0 (aka no stanford) we had the chance at 11. Of course that didn't happen and we were mediocre this year but it is the youngest team in Snyder history. It's ok to be optimistic about the next couple years especially with the current strength of the conference. Or you can crap on it, that way if we're good you can be happy and if we're bad you can be smug it's whatever.

Should Tech, Texas and ISU be rounding up their close losses to KSU?  We're certainly not going to entertain that those games could've been lost.

It's ok to be optimistic about the next couple years especially with the current strength of the conference.

Agreed, if everyone we beat stays in their lane or gets worse, and if osu and western virginia can slide down to that level too, there's the 'ship berth.

yeah DoD 1.0 was super small timey, guess we should negate all the 11 win seasons for scheduling puds.

My point is we were on the cusp of being good this year, I pointed out we were mediocre, but we are the youngest team in Snyder history so there is good reason to think we'll be better than OSU (10 Sr starters and QB may leave) and WVU (13 SR starters) next year. Optimism isn't stupidity, sometimes it's based in reason.

I agree, I really don't care if a guy looking to make a few million the upcoming April wants to sit out a game. It's his prerogative and they (big conferences/media) did create it with the playoff, and he's right that they look to expand it. Most of the bowls outside of it are worthless, have been worthless, and are going to prove even more worthless as things go on. I don't see what the big deal is either way. If anything, wouldn't the same be true when we just had the championship game in the BCS bowl era? Isn't all bowls outside of a title game pretty much pale in comparison to that? What are you playing for?

After all, most of the kids on teams going to lower tier bowls that do have an NFL future really didn't get much from their school in the first place other than an education and a bunch of free food, their time to cash in is more important. The rest though should just play on, not like they got anything better to do. But really, the fact that this is a big deal anyways, it affects like a few tens of players maybe, shows once again people focus on the wrong thing.

Its just the modern college football. It probably would have happened anyway, but IMO having the playoffs contributes to this. For teams that had any playoff aspirations in the preseason, a bowl game becomes even more of an exhibition game.

I'd still rather have the playoffs BTW and expand to 8 or even 16.

Coaches, fans, and administrators aren't making decisions with these player's best interests at heart.  They need to look out for themselves and kudos to these guys for doing it.  Maybe this will help kill off some of the 41 bowl games and make bowls great again.
or "Make America Great Again"
You hit it on the nail head.  Why are all these crappy schools playing in irreverent bowls.  Like the great Chingon says, crappy schools like K-State who only win against other crappy schools have no business being in "Bowl Games".  Only undefeated or "great schools" deserve to be in "Bowl Games".   :ROFL:

They're college football-ish.  Weeks (a month?) after the regular season wraps up, travel to up to a week before the game and half-practice, half-activity once there, hope you don't have too many significant players suspended for any number of reasons that pop up in December.  Other than playing a different team, they're more like a spring game than a regular season game.

Under any postseason system, I've thought bowl games are a silly data point to judge football teams on.

Meh, difference of opinion I guess.  But they count on your record.  Spring games don't (KU's 2012 spring game notwithstanding).  People don't drive a thousand miles to attend a spring game. 

I understand Bill doesn't treat the bowl games very seriously, but I think he's an bad person for that.

Yeah, they're meaningful in that they get included in a season record.  But I see through teams bragging up a "10-win season" or whatever the W number is as if that means the same as it used to, when teams are now playing 12 regular season games + 1-2 postseason games.  Kind of like talking up being a "bowl team" or a "20-win" hoops team.

I'm talking more about how the bowl game reflects on how good a team was during that season, so I guess I'm implying maybe they shouldn't count in the team's season record.  They're just too different from how all the other games are conducted to be an accurate reflection of anything.

Of course many more people attend them than a spring game, and they're meaningful to those people who have them as a part of their holiday and/or family vacation.  But as to the on-field product, lots of similarities - a somewhat distinct 3-week practice session, a focus during the practice on younger players and longer-term future production and much more off-the-field activity surrounding the "game" than in any regular season contest.

Garrett announced he is turning pro. Explains his less than enthused effort in the Texas Bowl. He melted with every double team -- which was almost the entire game from what I recall.

If I'm a RB prospect, no way I am playing in some pud bowl game. At the DE, in the Garrett case, you can at least avoid injury fairly easily while playing.

I almost guarantee that he did. He would never admit to it but I think he did.

Speaking of a similar situation, I saw this SEC Storied thing on Mizzou. It detailed their 2012 season. they were talking to Michael Sam and he was saying that he basically played the Cotton Bowl as carefully as he could because all he wanted to do is not get hurt so his draft stock wouldn't be downgraded.

Then in a crucial situation he turned it on and forced a fumble that wrapped up the Mizzou win.

I can only imagine that more players will either sit out or take it easy in non-NY6 bowl games after McCaffrey and Lenny Fourney sat out last season.

I've wondered this myself, especially since the playoff became a thing. Mid- and lower-tier bowl games don't seem like much more than a money grab for sponsors these days, kinda like all these one-off postseason basketball tournaments (CBI, Vegas 16, etc.). We've already run into the problem of having more bowl games than teams with 6+ wins, so they have to let in teams with losing records. I can only imagine that will just get worse.

There will always be at least a couple "benefits" to playing in lesser bowl games - extra practices for underclassmen, one more chance for non pro-bound seniors to put on their pads, an occasional intriguing matchup (still hoping for the chance to crush Nebraska's dreams on a neutral field) - but with terrible (if any) payouts and little more than bragging rights on the line, they've definitely lost their luster.

After watching these last two games, I'm thinking we'd get beaten badly going up against either Va Tech or FSU and I shudder at how few people would actually watch an NC State vs KSU game. We'd probably beat them but my God it would be boring.

Conversely, if we're capable of beating either of the two aforementioned teams by the end of the season, we'll probably end up in a much better bowl game and face much tougher opponents. I'll take that scenario all day long.

Florida State is 1-2 averaging 18 points per game, no one should be afraid that we'd get beaten badly. It takes some interesting mental gymnastics to come to the conclusion that we'd lose badly to FSU but beat NCSU.

If I have to suffer through another 6 loss season, getting to go to a bowl game that's about an hour away from home and watching the Cats isn't a bad consolation. Besides, beat the h*ll out of Shreveport, another trip to San Diego or San Antonio and definitely better than playing in downtown NYC!

if we are going to be in the Cactus Bowl or HoD bowl, idgaf who we play, i would probably prefer we play the worst possible team if we are going to be in a bottom tier bowl so we can win, and i can lie to myself and convince myself that momentum after a bowl win is a thing.

I mean, if we end up 8-5 (or worse  :blindfold:) we might as well beat a team that embarrassed the crap out of us as they left the Big 12. Beating Nubs in a no name bowl would make up a lot of a disappointing season.

The use of teams like Mercer in Nov is laughable.  It's a scheduled second bye week.  Lets give them some credit for FSU, Fresno, and an okay CSU.  Does that mean we shouldn't also check them for having teams like Vandy, Ole Miss, A&M, and Tenn on their schedule?

I'm not arguing a) that they should be in or b) that they played a top rated schedule. The way their schedule unfolded didn't help them out with FSU being bad as well as several of their SEC opponents having down seasons.

It matters because, like houstoncat, said they, and the ACC, only play 8 conference games. The Big 12, Pac 12, and the Big 10, the conferences that have been left out of the CFP, have their best teams playing 10 damn conference games. Ohio State won 2 more conference games than Alabama did, but Mercer and Fresno State phew tough.

It's also worth noting that Alabama doesn't play non-con road game. They have only played two since 2003 and none since 2011, one of those road games was at Duke, and not new decent Duke either. They have no pending road non conference games in the future either.

I've said for a long time that these November OOC games are connected to early conference games that artificially inflate the rankings of SEC teams.

Duh. But that’s nothing to complain about. We (and everyone else) should be copying it.

Yeah, but its more difficult with only 3 OOC opponents. Plus, these are more difficult because you have to work with all of these G5, FCS or whatever teams/leagues to fit their schedules. Another P5 league doing this would make that more difficult. I don't disagree that it is a good idea though.

Wiscy losing was really just the worst case scenario. This season was probably the season where the SEC was the least deserving and yet they comprise half the playoff with the possibility of an all SEC championship game

It's the best thing that could happen if you want a better playoff system than a bunch of tards selecting teams.  The big 10 and pac 12 getting left out is the only thing that will put pressure on the system  The only fair way to do this is to make the p5 conference winners automatic bids...then 3 others.  That way EVERY P5 conference team has a chance each year...just win the conference....no excuses.  Just like bball.
I like this.

Everyone knows an 8 team playoff is the only fair way to do it. Five P5 champs, one group of 5 highest ranked, and two at large. The only people arguing against this just make some lame slippery slope argument.

Funny story, in the Cats first ever Cactus bowl (Copper at the time), we whipped Wyoming and the post game highlights all showed a Jayhawk logo.  A drunken Rick Daris and I, and a houseful of MHS attempted to lookup ESPN’s phone number in the yellow pages to register a formal complaint.

We had recently returned from a drunken post victory streak of City Park, so maybe not great decision skills that night.  But, Jayhawk logo tho!

We accept them, BUT we don't suit up the first team.  Bowl games are an excellent opportunity for our youngsters to get additional practice time, and as such we use the extra game time to work on our second and third team depth.  Also, we do not send band, cheerleaders, or classy cats.  We advertise the alumni association ticket packages as the "Early Season Spring Game."

will suing the bowls send the wrong message?  i feel like it needs to be done for no other reason than to begin making the effort to clean up our program's image which has been stained with being associated with crap bowls the past several years.

if a crap bowl, which essentially is every non bcs bowl, offers us, we immediately file suit for damages and a cease and desist for using our university's name/image.
step 2- sue the bowl sponsor, hit them where it counts- in their purse strings
step 3- fake news the crap out of them using russian bots to slander anyone associated with the bowl and the bowl sponsor
step 4- travel to the city where the offending bowl is located and release zika infected mosquitos throughout all major gathering areas of said metro
step 5- begin offering incentives to all other teams to not accept said bowl's invites.  put the bowl out of business.


it's a 5 step plan and one that i really hope that the mustang implements.  if he doesn't, we 5 step plan him and goEMAW will implement the 5 step plan against the offending bowl parties as well as the mustang for being complicit.

Dax brings up a good point.  We MUST STOP the free loading bowl visits by these crap bowl representatives.  Obviously Clams' plan is a go, but we cannot stop there.  We need to notify these bowls that they are not welcome in Kansas. They can watch the games on television or illegal streams just like the rest of us.  And, stepping foot in Kansas immediately triggers boycott of their bowl sponsors.  You guys know how much I love RV's, but if a Camping World Bowl representative soils our soil, I will take my business STRAIGHT to Cruise America and will not look back.

Yeah freezing my ass off (I wouldn't go) to watch the Cats abuse Tennessee again isn't appealing in the slightest. Well, aside from NY6, which are mostly all in fun places anyway. The weather of the host city is prob the most important aspect imo. Sucks we only have one PHX tie in this year.

Why the need for limited bowl games? The players largely enjoy playing in them and they draw great ratings, which means people like watching them.

LHC Bill Snyder averaged 7.8 and he’s in the hall of fame

Yep, and in general 7-5/8-4 is a decent place to be (as long as you have some better years sprinkled in)

More of something doesn't mean it's "good". Quality over quantity.

I will never understand why this fan base will settle on a crap season and a crap bowl.

Ask Nubs how that train of thought of going 9-3/10-2 consistent with Pelini panned out for them

Klieman for me, and while I still hold on some hope he'll build us up, has been to prove we don't need a Snyder to win. Pelini got canned cause Nubbs couldn't fathom that being well above .500 was a good place to be. Lolz to them now.

It only has to be good for the players and the people watching it. Your take is like insisting the only television shows that should exist are ones that win Emmys.

As to your second point do you just want K-State fans to just protest bowls you don't deem good enough? The last 5 years of LHC Bill Snyder's tenure is some pretty solid proof that K-State fans aren't willing to "settle on a crap season and a crap bowl."

What exactly are you so horned up about here?

 No, my take is merely not to celebrate going 6-6 and to to diaper bowl because they have 80+ team slots to fill because college football has become more about money than it ever has in the past. Expectations need to be met, going 6-6 is far below expectations. We are a decent program now, we need to have the mentality of one.

If you get excited to watch Kansas State football after a 6-6 season, to play their bowl game, more power to you. Probably the exact reason why we keep hiring mediocre coaches. I don't want to settle on mediocre.

We had a great run with the Fiesta/Cotton/Alamo/Holiday/17 different named Arizona Bowl Before moving to a dog crap baseball stadium B12 bowl affiliation line-up.

The bowl line-up sucks now & I used to wish we would have changed it up, but now I’m not really sure what I wish they would have changed it to. The Holiday Bowl is in a baseball stadium now. We were never getting the NYD Florida BigTen/SEC bowls. After those games, the SEC bowls look similar to ours except with our local Houston/Dallas/San Antonio replaced with their local similar cities they’re all tired of too. Changing it up without affiliations sounds good, but after a minute I don’t think I’d be anymore excited if we swapped out the Texas Bowl with a 12/30 2:00pm Music City Bowl in Nashville.

The one thing that does suck is there’s 2 P5vP5 bowls in Vegas & the Big12 is the only P5 conference without a Vegas Bowl affiliation.

My bowl season proposal:

1) add enough bowls that every FBS team can go to one
2) place all the bowls in tiers based on quality/prestige/etc
3) make groups of teams for each tier (ex, all teams with 8+ wins, then all with 6/7, 4/5, etc.
4) lotto style selection out of each group. Make it the ping pong balls, televise it, make a whole production. “And now for the Case IH Wheat Bowl… first up…. it’ll be the Runnin Rebels of UNLV… and their opponent… wow Jim, it’s the Duke Blue Devils. Two former national champions in basketball will meet on the frozen plains of Kansas for some pigskin action”

Cheez-It Bowl
Projection: Florida State vs. Kansas State
Florida State bowls for the first time under coach Mike Norvell and the Seminoles should get one of the ACC's top-tier games as a high finisher in the Atlantic Division. Florida State is rolling coming down the stretch and has a chance to win nine games to close it out against Louisiana and Florida over the final two games. That's quite an accomplishment for Norvell, who has handed LSU one of its two losses this fall.

You misunderestimate the stupidity of this whole thing.

I heard a national radio person last night say that Tennessee with 2 losses would get in over undefeated TCU because of the brand name, but if TCU were OU or Texas then that would be different.

The playoff as it is now is garbage because it’ll always be about ‘brands.’

Alabama is almost virtually eliminated from the Sugar Bowl. They are currently 4th in bowl selection for the SEC. For them to make the sugar, Tennessee would have to lose one of their last 2 games, and LSU would have to beat Georgia in the SEC championship, and then both LSU and Georgia would have to make the cfp. Alabama will get one of the at large spots in the NY6, but they'll almost certainly miss the sugar.

They’re cheap at the moment

where in Metairie? CBD/French Quarter are not. I have some New Orleans hotel plugs that should come through.

Got my flights booked. 30th to the 2nd.

WE WANT BAMA

It would be so goddamn awesome


It's so crazy too how just winning this weekend no matter what happens we're going to the sugar bowl, so let's win this weekend
If Baylor beats Texas on Friday, we can lose Saturday and still be in the Sugar. #lazycaturday

In either case, TCU/ISU might be the most important game this weekend.

You are expecting Texas to lose in this scenario.  If we lose and Texas wins we won't get to play TCU.

Every one I can find under $400 is prepay no refunds. Fine with that once we actually get selected.

I have hotels booked for the Sugar, Cotton, Cheeze-It, and Liberty, New Orleans has the most expensive hotels, by far. It's New Orleans on New Years Eve, acting like hotels will be affordable and easy, no matter who is playing in that game, is really rough ridin' stupid, even for you.

Jesus.  You guys and your first world problems.  Would you just take one minute and consider the anguish that KU Karl is going through right now?  He has to decide whether to make he and Karla's annual pilgrimage to the piss barn to watch a noncon mid week Christmas break game against a low major from the upper corner seats or put those funds towards a trip to their bowl game.  I would love to hear @sonofdaxjones weigh in on this KU Karl conundrum.

A potential 8-5 team could play in the Sugar if Baylor beats Texas on Friday.  An unlikely scenario, but it would be funny to then romp all over Alabama and win the Sugar.

You guys should probably start looking at airbnbs. Also might be worth it to just stay in a suburb like Metairie and take Ubers both ways every day.

Would be lovely to not play LSU. That would only make everything significantly more expensive than it already is. Without them, I expect you could get game tickets on the secondary market for pretty cheap. I went to the UGA/Baylor Sugar Bowl a few years ago and got in for like $10.

DoubleTree 12/30-1/1, VOCO St. James 1/1-1/2. Both near Harrah's and French Qtr. For some reason I couldn't book Doubletree thru 1/2, prob just screwed it up somehow. Booked with Doubletree w Cap One Pts. Booked VOCO w/ a IHG free night I had to use.

Now only decision is if I'll drive or fly. Don't really want to use all my Chase points for this flight. Oddly flights are cheaper out of ICT then KC

Not on the roof, though. I showed up the afternoon of the game like 30 minutes before everyone piled into Ubers to head to the stadium. There were a lot of people in the living room. Some friends were Titan'ing up. The Florida-Tennessee game was on TV. I used the bathroom. One friend had a very K-State0 Willie hat that is super lol. CAN'T BELIEVE WE COULD'VE PAK'D AND BEEN TALKING ABOUT WEIRD EMAILS FROM OUR DADS.

FAQs:Which SEC Team qualifies for the CFP?
The winner of the SEC Championship Game automatically qualifies for a spot in the Sugar Bowl if that team is not selected to participate in the four-team playoff. If the SEC Champion is selected to participate in the four-team playoff it will play in the Peach Bowl or Fiesta Bowl. The next highest-ranked SEC team not in the four-team playoff goes to the Sugar Bowl.

If a Big 12 team(s) is rated in the top four of the CFP, it will play in one of the semifinals. This does not affect the Big 12 designee being placed in a CFP New Year's Bowl if it is not one of the top four teams. There is not a limit on the number of teams from one conference that can be placed in CFP bowls.

Tennessee fans are lobbying hard for the sugar bowl, I don't understand the south enough to know why they want it so bad and don't want the orange bowl, at all.

Easier drive?  Miami just seems like a bitch to get to.   :dunno:
I imagine the pregame and post game is way more fun in New Orleans
I've been in nola for new years with my bro and can confirm this. The whole french quarter by the river is dedicated to the bowl game. It's nuts. Miami is cool and all, but if you want the fullest bowl game atmosphere, sugar bowl is where it's at.

Beat TCU, USC loses to Utah, and committee forgets Alabama and tOSU exist?  Someone help me understand why we are more likely to make the playoff in this model than Bama.
Wait WHAT???

Only a 33% chance of TCU making the playoffs. Given that there is some chance for them to lose and still get in, that means they think there is about a 1/4 chance they beat us. Sounds about right.

I tried to make all the most favorable outcomes for us to happen and it maxes at 58%, so I think it takes into account winning the conference is basically all the odds you get (we're not getting in duh but wanted to see how it was working)
Title: Re: Bowl Projections
Post by: Rage Against the McKee on November 27, 2022, 12:42:32 PM
Oh, I didn't realize the numbers were if TCU had already lost. I think 33% is really high in that case.

We'd be conference champs, with the third best win of the season (LSU over Georgia and Purdue over Michigan being the top two). We'd definitely be in the top 6 in this scenario. We'd have to beat TCU by a million for us to pass them. I think they're pretty close to being a lock, win or lose.

If we had 4 losses, I'd be pretty skeptical of our chances at the playoff. With only 3 losses, we're practically in the driver's seat.

If TCU loses, Ohio State will get in because their loss to Michigan will be better than TCU's loss to K-State.

It's bullshit, but that is how the beauty pageant works. It's also kind of funny, because TCU would already be in if we didn't have a title game, and we only play the game because TCU and Baylor got screwed over in 2014.

I’m with MIR that I could see TCU squeaking into the championship if they narrowly lose to the Cats, but the thought that a 3 loss KSU team would leapfrog everyone in front of us is just deranged.

as long as Texas doesn't jump us, which I don't think can/will happen
We can lose to TCU and be ranked lower than Texas and it still doesn’t matter. The stipulation is the team with the better conference record. We’re in no matter what.

I bought refundable anyway in case of illness, but if I were you I’d look on the bright side: If TCU just beat the #10 team to finish 12-0 or 13-0 or whatever and DROPS in the rankings, then you’ve just donated to the biggest controversy in the CFP.

they have the % chances listed for each game. the KSU vs TCU game is 43% / 57%, respectively

KSU Sugar Bowl travel packages have gone live. https://k-statesportstours.com/event/sugar-bowl/

Am I the only one who thinks they kind of suck? We booked a nice looking hotel near a cool looking area of the French Quarter and it was less than $1000 for both nights. Even the "land only" options are priced starting at $1300 PER PERSON. No way the pregame events are that baller.

(The chartered airfare option seems only decent IF you live in MHK)

Yes, Pac 12 schools have been crying for three weeks about this. Both of those teams are well behind us in nearly every rating system I've seen. Washington lost to rough ridin' Arizona State.
