Bowl Projections

[TownieCat]

There is nothing that says the Alamo Bowl has to take K-State above Oklahoma even though we beat them at their place and finished above them in the standings 

[mocat]

If we go to the Cotton Bowl would we play Missouri?

 

[420seriouscat69]

It probably goes like this:

5%- Cotton Bowl
75%- Alamo Bowl
20%- Russell

 

[Rage Against the McKee]

It probably goes like this:

5%- Cotton Bowl
75%- Alamo Bowl
20%- Russell

 

I think we probably get into the Cotton Bowl if we beat Baylor and the Alamo if we lose.

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, I agree.

Zero chance Mizzou goes to the Cotton unless they beat Alabama. All of the New Year's Six bowls are based on the Selection Committee rankings and tie ins, the cotton bowl's spots are both at-large spots.

[TownieCat]

Yeah, I agree.

Are you only giving us a 5% chance of beating Baylor?? 

[Bqqkie Pimp]

It probably goes like this:

5%- Cotton Bowl
75%- Alamo Bowl
20%- Russell

 

I think we probably get into the Cotton Bowl if we beat Baylor and the Alamo if we lose.

Math gives us about a 35%-ish chance to win. So that would make our Cotton chances about 35%, wouldn't it?

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, I agree.

I think that's what I just did.  Maybe I should bump it up to 20%?

Sounds about right to me.

I don't know how attractive Oklahoma is.  Bit of a depressing season for them

If we get pounded by Baylor on national television and end up with the same record as OU, are we really that attractive?

[Asteriskhead]

Yea, I'm going to go ahead and book that flight to DFW.

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?!  Oh and their starting qb is also out for pretty much the season.

That leaves you with 130%

Can't we still make a Top 6 bowl? Are there 11 teams that will be put ahead of us (Boise St has autobid)? Looks like its down to us, Arizona, GTech and Ole Miss for the last 3 spots. Arizona probably gets nod to Fiesta, but Ole Miss' resume isn't great and GTechs sucks.

Orange bowl has tie ins, so I'm not sure if it will just be cut and paste the top 11 into the NYD6 bowls.

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

['taterblast]

we're 11th in AP, and there's rumblings of us going to a big bowl if we're top 11 in the committee rankings

This

Dunno who the committee would have in front of us...here is 10-20 in AP...I think Boise gets an automatic bid into a top-12 bowl game...I can see us being one of the 1/4 of the schools listed below that get the nod 

10 - Georgia Tech - 10-3
11 - KSU - 9-3
12 - Arizona - 10-3
13 - Georgia - 9-3
14 - UCLA - 9-3
15 - Arizona St - 9-3
16 - Missouri - 10-3
17 - Wisconsin - 10-3

Any rumors on potential top 6 bowls or does big 12 get screwed in favor of another team in this as well?

Zona will probably get in one over us.
