Worst bowl scenario

[HANC]

Ok...

 

Now that it is official....

 

Win = Rose Bowl vs Oregon, Stanford, UCLA or anyone else

 

What if we happen to get beat and finish 10-3? Are we tied to a bowl as the 2nd place Big 10 team or not?

 

Outback, Capital One ?

 

I think both of those are against SEC, which would be the Alabama-Georgia loser or Florida if they aren't in NC (but Florida probably BCS bound with top 3 finish).

 

Any insight?

 

Let's just win and go to Pasadena !!!

We would be in one of the three New Year's Day bowl games in Florida against an SEC opponent. Florida will likely be in the BCS so it would probably be the Alabama/Georgia loser, LSU, aTm or South Carolina.

 

Capital One has the first choice then Outback and Gator. I would guess Captial One would take Michigan rather than have us a second year in a row so Outback seems likely.

I thought a conference couldn't have 3 schools in the BCS??? Maybe that changed.

 

 

Win and it appears it will be UCLA/ Stanford.

 

Lose...... Well I haven't even thought about that. Atleast it will be on New Years Day.

[Mavric]

Right, you only get two schools. The SEC will get the Alabama/Georgia winner and one more. I would think Florida would get selected over the loser of the CCG.

Didn't Georgia beat Florida? LSU is in the hunt to

[DrunkOffPunch]

The BCS can take 2 BCS auto-bid conferences. The SEC will get two. I will assume it will be Bama and Florida. The Pac 12 will probably also get two in with Stanford as conference champ (crushing UCLA, I believe they will win again) and Oregon. In my situation since Georgia loses TA&M becomes the most promising SEC non-BCS bowl team. So I think A&M. I could also see a match up with Oklahoma if KSU beats Texas.

[Husker no ka oi]

If Stanford wins next week it could massive sea of red at the rose bowl.

Yes, but a likely #3 Florida would probably be more appealing than Georgia coming off a loss in the CCG.

[Count 'Bility]

If we lose and Bama loses to Georgia, we could match up with Bama in an Outback or Capital One bowl. Wouldnt that be a measuring stick.

[irafreak]

Yeah it's a good thing we're going to win Saturday.

A measuring stick for sure. But I'd be REALLY afraid we wouldn't be on the long end.

[CheeseHusker]

Obviously losing to Bucky Cheese and a Georgia win, thereby drawing Alabama would be a nightmare.

 

I suppose some people would be excited about getting disemboweled by Alabama, but I'm not one of those people. Unless Alabama was maybe colossally let down and didn't take Nebraska seriously, which I guess is possible. Kind of like Nebraska having to play Washington again.

From @capitalonebowl on twitter.

 

@CapitalOneBowl: If Nebraska wins the B1G, our choice is Northwestern or Michigan. If Wisconsin wins the B1G, the choice is Nebraska or Northwestern.

Florida will get an automatic bid given to the #3 team. The only way they don't is if the SEC CG loser stays ahead of them in the BCS. Normally the #4 team also gets an automatic bid, but not if they are the 3rd team in the conference.

I hate threads like these. I don't want to think of a worst case bowl scenario. We shouldn't even discuss it. Pasadena and Pasadena alone. Hopefully the boys will take care of business Saturday.
