So where do you think you end up in bowl season (for non playoff teams)

[CowpokeU]

we're 5-5, with games at Iowa State
(forecast high of 25°F on Saturday)
and home agst Oklahoma
(who has Bedlam the week before) -

still have a lotta work
before we're bowl-eligible -

So ISU has about 5" of snow on the ground as of this afternoon. I'm sure more hit already. That's gonna be a killer

Hoping for Cheezit, bracing for Alamo

The Alamo Bowl is decent.

Hoping for anything except home for the holidays. That would require a home win over top 15 Kansas State and an away win over top 25 Oklahoma State...

 

[CowpokeU]

The Alamo Bowl is decent.

It used to be when we put team #3 in the Big XII against team #3 in the PAC. I'm not sure what the picks are anymore. Cheezit replaced the Alamo pitting #3 against #3/4 of the SEC. Kinda like how we have the sugar bowl a lot too when it's a non finals game.

We really are a good conference of complete spanability. We have both the cotton & sugar right there, will get the rose when we take the PAC-12 South and finally get to go rose bowling against y'all in the B1G West West

Wait? Is this the "What's for dinner" thread?

Iowa is bowl eligible now, but dosen't deserve one even if they win the last two. Hell, no team in the big west deserves a bowl game, except Illinois.

Bowl games mean extra practices and more exposure for recruiting. ^^

I get it, if you good, good for you. This is for those of us.... That ain't.


Looking if things finish as expected that ND is most likely either Gator Bowl bound, or Holiday Bowl bound. Plenty of possible opponents, and some interesting match ups.

Gator could be: Florida, Miss St, Kentucky

Holiday could be: UCLA, Washington

Couple others as well. But those seem to be the popular picks so far.

Gotta be honest, every single one of those scare the shit outta me as a ND fan this year lol

Y'all have a chance to make noise against USC and that could greatly improve ND prospects.

I have never in my life seen a more Jekyll and Hyde team as the ND offense this year.

It is insane. They have handed both UNC and Clemson their only losses and played Ohio St close until the 4th quarter.

And then only managed 14 points against the worst Stanford team in 20 years and lost to Marshall. Not to mention only having a total of 12 offensive yards in the entire second half against Navy last week.


All of that to say that ND is as likely to have 300 yards of offense as they are to have 100 yards against USC.

Here is the one advantage I give ND against USC. Depth. USC may not have the roster to punch back and forth for 4 quarters if ND can manage to sustain a ground game. They win. If it is a track meet they lose

I think people forget this. That extra practice is very useful, especially for young teams. Also, it gives 50% of the bowl teams the chance to end with a win (playoffs only 1 team ends that way).

 

[CowpokeU]

No dice, we will have the southern portion of the PAC & you'll get added to the B1G end. What's the SEC gonna give up for that?

Out of the four southern PAC teams (Colorado, Utah and the two Zona schools) the Big 12 will get a total combined two PAC championships .. one for ASU and one for Utah.

Oh, by the way. TAMU fans need not apply

YEAH! Fuck the Aggie Trash!!!!

 

[Toadman005]

A gift from me to you. It makes for excellent trolling material atm. I've been using it to troll Oregon fans on twitter and facebook and so far it's been a goldmine.

I’d puke if we had to play a team in all purple.

Anything but the Military (it’s a travel day for me and I wouldn’t be home in time) I’m good with.

I think Cheezit Bowl is probably the safest bet.
