We are bowl eligible! Remember, the Big 12 bowls are not obligated to take anyone, unless the conference game champion is NOT in the playoff, and then the Sugar has to take them. If the conference game champion makes the playoff, the conference selects an alternate for the Sugar.
The selection order for the Big 12 is:
Sugar (New Orleans)
Alamo (San Antonio)
Camping World (Orlando, Florida)
Texas (Houston)
Liberty (Memphis, Tennessee)
Cheez-It (Phoenix)
First Responder (Dallas)
Here are my guesses:
Sugar (New Orleans) - Oklahoma
Alamo (San Antonio) - Baylor
Camping World (Orlando, Florida) - Oklahoma State
Texas (Houston) - Texas
Liberty (Memphis, Tennessee) - Kansas State
Cheez-It (Phoenix) - Iowa State
First Responder (Dallas) - TCU

This would make the media leading up to it really fun, if our media personnel were ballsy enough to ask the tough questions (LOOKING AT YOU _FAN!).
"Does it motivate you more to know that Kansas State has dominated USC in the past?" I look forward to the USC players responses. Will be a lot like our players responses to the CATS logo crisis. "That's all in the past. This is a different group of guys and the stink of that absolute failure is not on us." Stuff like that.

So a lot can still happen, but at this moment, K-State's win over Oklahoma will hurt K-State's bowl game placement.
Hurt as in getting an opponent that overmatches the 'Cats? Or hurt in the sense that it's seen as the 'Cats only quality win?

KSU's win over OU, combined with a KSU and OU win Saturday would put KSU in a tie for 3rd in the conference. That would seem to make the OU win beneficial as opposed to the cats finishing 6th. Stings for the WV loss to keep us out of solo 3rd and potential, although unlikely, Alamo.
I really want Orlando

If the bowls don't like it, then ditch them and find another. There are PLENTY of bowl games out there. This isn't the 90's where the purse size of the bowl game matters. It's peanuts compared to our TV revenue now.
Post by: pissclams on November 28, 2019, 04:48:20 PM
teams from other conferences could apply to join our championship bowl system and if they’re worthy, we would slot them accordingly
it’s incredible that the schools haven’t done this already, we could control all of the money instead of squandering it would on the each bowls staffing costs, etc

Disregard. I typed this all out too quick and enraged.
There are 6 “New Year’s 6” Bowls. The two semis and the other non-semi big bowls.
This year the semis (Peach Bowl - LSU v OU, Fiesta Bowl - Clemson v Ohio St) are on Dec 28, along with the Cotton Bowl (Memphis v Penn St).
The Orange Bowl (Florida v :lol: Virginia) is on Dec. 30.
The Rose Bowl (Oregon v Wisconsin), and Sugar Bowl (Baylor v Georgia) are on Jan. 1.
I just want a full day of sitting on my ass and watching the best games on Jan. 1.
Granted are two pretty good non NY6 games on Jan. 1; the Citrus Bowl (Bama v Mich), and Outback Bowl (Minn v Auburn).
I’m mostly pissed the semis aren’t on Jan. 1

It almost always is. Check ebay or KSU fan boards. There's always those that have a change in plans. Only drawback is you have to wait about a week before game time for the good deals.

When I checked yesterday, Ticketmaster was oddly enough the cheapest (cheapest after fees that is). Figured I'd wait a few days to see if places like seatgeek and stubhub fluctuated at all.

To be fair, LSU was gonna kick the crap out of whatever poor bastard #4 seed they played. At least that's what I'm telling myself to minimize the Big 12's perceived suckage.
They entered the CFP #4 the last 4 years. Bad spot for playoff.

Post by: MakeItRain on January 01, 2020, 10:00:34 PM
I thought the game was a decent watch. A couple really stupid mistakes made the difference. Otherwise it went about as expected. Sky has not improved a lot this year. Hopefully that’s mostly due to a learning curve in the new system and having very limited receiving threats most of the season.
Our receivers are fine, Skylar has stopped hanging in the pocket and going through progressions, again. This happened midseason and it looked like the coaches had to remind him.
