Landomatic Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Take it for what it's worth, I don't have a link or anything, but I was watching ESPN, and they said a Bowl game for Nebraska could be(and I kid you not) Nebraska vs. Washington in the Holiday Bowl... Oh good lord!!! Quote Link to comment

Can't happen. the Holiday Bowl is a Big 12 vs Pac 12. Quote Link to comment
Ziebol Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Put us with an sec team that would be huge attention. UGA or Arkansas would be awesome Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 It all depends on what happens tomorrow with Michigan-Ohio State and Penn State-Wisconsin, and then with the B1G championship game. Just like that 14 all in Baton Rouge. There are 9 teams in the Big Ten who are eligible for a Bowl Game. Should Purdue defeat Indiana tomorrow, there will be 10 teams eligible for a Bowl Game. I think that's pretty good. Let's say that Michigan State beats Northwestern, Ohio State beats Meatchicken, and Wisconsin beats Penn State. This puts Wisconsin and Michigan State in the B1G championship game. Meatchicken finishes 9-3 (5-3), Penn State finishes 9-3 (6-2). Wisconsin beats Michigan State in the B1G Championship Game. That puts them in the Rose Bowl to face Oregon. So here are my projected final conference standings for all the B1G: Wisconsin 11-2 (7-2) Michigan State 10-3 (7-2) Penn State 9-3 (6-2) Michigan 9-3 (5-3) Nebraska 9-3 (5-3) Ohio State 7-5 (4-4) Iowa 7-5 (4-4) Purdue 6-6 (4-4) Northwestern 6-6 (3-5) Illinois 6-6 (3-5) Minnesota 2-10 (1-7) Indiana 1-11 (0-8) With that, I do think the B1G gets an at-large BCS birth for Michigan State, who will be sent to the Sugar Bowl to face Houston. The Capital One Bowl can now select Penn State, Michigan, or Nebraska to face their SEC team. Penn State was their recently and with their scandal I don't see them being selected. Michigan State was there last year, so maybe they don't choose Michigan. Capital One Bowl selects Nebraska who is looking like they will face Arkansas [who is now down 21-14]. This leaves Michigan and Penn State to duke it out for a spot in the Outback Bowl to face another SEC team. This is where Michigan goes. They will face South Carolina. So Penn State goes to the Insight Bowl to face a Big 12 school, who I'm thinking will be Kansas State. Here are my projected bowl standings [this is surprisingly a lot of work]: Rose Bowl: Wisconsin vs Oregon Sugar Bowl: Michigan State vs Houston Capital One Bowl: Nebraska vs Arkansas Outback Bowl: Michigan vs South Carolina/Georgia Insight Bowl: Penn State vs Kansas State Gator Bowl: Iowa vs. Auburn/Georgia/South Carolina Meinke Car Care Bowl: Ohio State vs Texas Ticket City Bowl: Northwestern vs Marshall Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl: Illinois vs Toledo Purdue goes somewhere that doesn't have enough teams. 1 Quote Link to comment

That's where you went wrong with that. That and NU has no ties to the Holiday Bowl Quote Link to comment
74Hunter Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I don't see a 10-3 MSU or Wisconsin getting a BCS at large. Either way, I really don't like our chances against any of the 5 afformentioned SEC teams. Quote Link to comment

GREAT WORK! although, I think in that scenario, and if Okie state beats OU next week, I think we will see K-State get an at large spot over Michigan state who would be coming off a loss.

Excel Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 LSU and Bama are the only teams that NU stands next to no chance of beating. Arkansas, UGA and Carolina are all vulnerable. Quote Link to comment
Vizsla1 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Washington would be funny... Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 i hope its south carolina. georgia and arkansas both are tough teams Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Outback Bowl is Tampa, correct? Capital One is what used to be the Citrus and is in Orlando. Both New Year's Day. Really, those aren't bad at all. Quote Link to comment
