holiday bowl loves the crap out of the cats

For that to happen a string of chaotic upsets, including a Bowling Green victory over Northern Illinois in the Mid-American Conference championship game, would have to occur over the next few days. Oklahoma State would have to beat Oklahoma to clinch a spot in the Fiesta Bowl. And Baylor would have to beat Texas to raise its BCS at-large hopes.

uh, no, it's just the one upset, over a team favored by *GASP* 3.5 points, you ginormous dumbass writer

Five games have to go a certain way for Baylor to be in the BCS...

1) OSU beats OU
2) Baylor beats Texas
3) FSU beats Duke
4) OSU beats MSU
5) Bowling Green beats NIU

That would mean six auto qualifiers:
BCS #1: FSU
BCS #2: OSU
SEC: Champ (Auburn/Mizzou)
Pac-12: Champ (Stanford/ASU)
Big 12: OSU
AAC: UCF

If the current BCS standings hold where they are, the following teams could get knocked out of the Top 14 if they lose their BCS title games: Arizona State, Michigan State

Based on the rules, that would leave the following teams (probably) available for at-large bids:

Alabama, Baylor, Oregon, Clemson

If that's the case, it probably looks like this...

BCS Title: FSU/OSU

Orange gets first compensatory pick...Alabama
Rose gets second compensatory pick...Clemson
Orange gets first at-large pick...Oregon
Sugar gets second at-large pick...Baylor
Fiesta gets third at-large pick...UCF

The only thing that really throws a wrench in the plan is if Michigan State losing to OSU doesn't knock them out of the top 14.  Then you just waterfall them at the Rose bowl, and then Clemson goes to Orange and Oregon goes to Sugar.

So, that's what has to happen.  Then Texas goes to the Cotton, OU to Alamo, us to BWW, and Tech to the Holiday.

Baylor also gets to the BCS if they beat Texas and OU beats OSU.

The point is, what it would take to have 2 big 12 teams in BCS games, not just Baylor's ability to get in.

Correct.

And thereby prevent us from getting a train run on us in San Diego.

i mean, i guess i get the "oregon is a question mark" viewpoint, but i haven't seen anything that makes me think the delta between the last year and this year points in our favor

Oregon will probably be very unmotivated to play us in some shitty bowl.

BG winning tomorrow night would be so great. We would have a shot at #40 Michigan instead.  :pray:

You don't want this!

Actually, it really depends on what offense shows up. We've put up 600+yds on teams like ND,OSU,IU, and then failed to crack the 200yd mark against MSU,Iowa,Nebraska. We're a really weird team that you could beat.

We probably aren't beating anybody. I wouldn't mind playing Michigan, I guess. I really don't want to play some crappy Big 10 team that nobody cares about, though.

Plus, think of all the national attention we'd get! Two traditional powerhouses meeting for the first time, one with a younger, fat (but studly)and kind of dumb HC, the other with an old, fit, and scheme doctory guy patrolling the sidelines.

It'd probably get more viewers than the actual BCS title game.

Remember what it was like watching OU, Texas and...NDSU run all over us? Yeah we don't want any part of Stanford.  :frown:

basically a look back at our bowl history with some interviews with Kstate staffers including stud Bosco. Then it said Holiday Bowl Dec. 30 at the end.

It was what appeared to be a video by the AD for the Holiday Bowl urging them to select kstate.
