papersun87 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Now, that ESPN guy who picked us to play in the Gator Bowl against Wake Forest, now that's a matchup I like. Especially since we go out there early next season. Could be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment

Marf Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Actually, I think that the whole Big 12 #2, Big 12 #3 thing is about the order in which they get to choose who they want. Fiesta Bowl gets the champ . . . Cotton Bowl gets second choice . . . Gator Bowl or whoever gets third choice . . . And so on. If I'm wrong, someone call me out. Based on that, it will probably depend on how badly we lose to decide whether or not the Cotton Bowl wants us. If we hang close, they'll probably take us. If we get waxed, the CB will probably choose Oklahoma instead. But of course, I'm still holding out for the Fiesta Bowl. I am pretty sure that's correct. Anyways, here is ESPN's bowl projection's and one of them is the same. link That says Oklahoma would be in the Orange Bowl, and Texas would be in the Fiesta Bowl.... How would that work?!!?!

Huskers_in_Fl Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'm a little selfish. I'm hoping they play in the Gator Bowl.. ( I live outside of Jax) Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 fox has NU projected to go to the holiday bowl and play Cal. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 I heard that if we don't win the Big XII, and Cal wins the Pac 10, we will be in the Cotton, because the Holiday Bowl doesn't want a Huskers/USC rematch, so it will be USC/OU in San Diego. Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 fox has NU projected to go to the holiday bowl and play Cal. The much-beloved Lee Barfknecht predicted this same matchup in the OWH yesterday. Quote Link to comment
