Will we play in a bowl game?
« on: November 06, 2015, 01:38:11 AM »
ITT, discus our chances of playing in a bowl game this year. Personally? I think we have 4 winnable games. TexTech is the really dangerous game, the rest we can win. Let's go bowling.

Yeah, I like to think we can win out. It's not going to happen though.

Every so often we need a manageable bowl game so our bowl record isn't so bad. This is that year!

I feel fairly positive that this can happen.

As bad as it seems, we have competed with everyone but OU.  That should mean we can beat the teams that are sitting with us at the bottom of the league standings.  Four of our losses are to pretty good teams.

Tech is garbage.  WVU is a worse matchup for us.  We will snyderball the crap out of Tech.

Thought I saw a couple weeks ago (maybe here!) that it was expected there'd need to be 5-7 teams to fill out all the bowl slots this year.

I don't think it looks too good, but I am quite down on this team. :frown:

Likely will all come down to Dec 5th.

I hate the position that our team is in now.  ISU and KU used to be guaranteed and we only played them because we had to, no matter how much it hurt the image of our football team.  This year, we MUST play them to stay somewhat relevant and go bowling.  I know a W is a W, but look at the name-quality of our wins.  No real giants in there at all.

No way. We may beat isu and ku, but i think we lose to wvu and tech. Our secondary is garbage.

I think he is making the point that even if we make a bowl game this we won't have any marquee win on our resume.  Our best win is probably going to end up being in triple overtime at home against the runner up in C-USA.

I think.

Thanks for the interpretation, Chingon

Who in the hell cares? Quality of wins matters to about six teams, hint we aren't one of them, really we've never been one of them.

If we continue to try and run the football, we should do alright.  Tech, KU, and ISU suck badly against the run.  Tech and WVU can't sack anyone.  So, there should be limited pressure on Hubener that we've seen with the better teams.

Tech will be difficult.  But I think we can Snyderball them (as has been mentioned).  WVU is a better team, but they seem to really regress on the road, and if we're looking at bowl eligibility on Senior Day, and we've picked up a couple of wins in a row, I think BSFS will be a tough place to play.

I think we can win out, but I think it's better than 50% that we go 3-1.

You forget that we also have to stop the other team from scoring.  The TCU and OSU game show that we can score points, but our defense will always give up more.

This is an awfully pessimistic take after our defense (without our two best players) just held Baylor to half its scoring average.

I truly don't understand how you fail to acknowledge any bright sports on the defense. Do the numbers only matter sometimes, when convenient?
