Is NU second in the Big 12 North standings?

[HUSKER 37]

Who cares at this point. It's all a moot point now that Conference play is over and we're on our way to the Big 10

 

This.

 

Well I CARE!!!

 

It's the difference between driving ~10 miles to see the Insight Bowl or ~9 hours to the stupido Holiday Bowl.

 

Normally, I'd have no interest in playing Iowa, but I have much less interest in seeing us abuse Siberian Huskies again..I've been the proud human of Siberians since I was 12

Nebraska= .666

 

I knew you guys were a bad influence on me....

 

 

That should be .666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666.....to infinity and beyond!

 

Or rounds down to .667

Not if we have the North trophy.

[Tora! Tora! Tora!]

Not if we have the North trophy.

 

 

We have it too though! Some dude named Ed Stewart presented the trophy to Gary Pinkle during the half of last night's MU basketball game. Can you believe Beebe didn't even show!?

See, he hates MU too

 

We definitely need to win the bowl game to get out of that .666 status. me scared, me no want mark of beast on me no really

 

 

sorry I grew up in the Lone Ranger days or FMJ take your pick. I still haven't truly grown up

Bowl game isn't a conference game. We're stuck with the mark.

No, it's not the difference. See the other posts that tell you that this is just the order the bowls select teams. They don't take them strictly according to standings.

It is one final way for Beebe to screw us. Big 12 rules should have been in place that state: The loser of the Big 12 Championship is automatically awarded second place in the Big 12. This has huge implications for bowls and it screwed NU this year.

This is completely inaccurate. I think EVERY sportswriter in the world makes it perfectly clear when they make their bowl projections that just because a bowl matchup says:

 

SEC #3 vs. Big 12 #2

 

. . . it does not mean that they are obligated to take the second-place Big 12 team. It means they get the second CHOICE of Big 12 teams and can take a 6-6 team over an 12-1 team if they so desire.

Yeahbut...

 

It would sure have been much nicer if I could have talked John Junker into letting us have a little payback to the Orange Bowl for setting up a rematch with Oklahoma back in '79 after Ozzy finaly beat Switzer.

And if we had to play someone again it would've been nice to have it be OU in my backyard.

 

But yer right.

I lost my train of thought and thought I was talking more about the BCS rankings that had two? teams we beat ranked ahead of us.
