Bowl Projections Thread

[Redux]

 

If Nebraska doesn't make the Rose Bowl or the playoff, we will face a Pac 12 or SEC team. Mark it.

 

Yes, we do have a better chance of playing a Pac 12 or SEC team due to the B1G bowl agreements.

 

Our only chance of playing a ACC team is if we make the Orange Bowl (probably need to win out and lose in the CCG) or falling way down to the Pinstripe Bowl (which would require us to go maybe 1-3 rest of the way).

 

And the B1G doesn't have a bowl tie in with the Big 12, so they are off the table.

 

Getting a Cotton Bowl bid (10-2 w/o playing in CCG?) would require us to play a Group of Five team.

There ya go.

 

All the predictions are pointless unless we absolutely squander the last 4 games OR win the rest of our games.

None of those are super appealing imo

Agree. If we play a former Big 12 team I want it to be Oklahoma or Colorado. If we play an SEC team... I don't even know. But out of all the decent teams, Arkansas excites me the least.

[HuskerNBigD]

Perfectly ok with LSU or Florida in the Outback Bowl.

You're right. Let's go back to the Foster Farms Bowl!

 

Am I the only one that was seriously entertained by the Foster Farms commercials during the game?

LSU would be great since my brother lives in Baton Rouge.

[Street Novelist]

And this is all predicated on us winning our final two games, correct? I assume if we lose to Iowa or Maryland, we would fall to a lesser bowl.

Also, the Big Ten bowl tie-ins:

 

The Big Ten gets a team in the Rose Bowl. It’s the Big Ten Champion if it’s not in the College Football Playoff. Also, the Big Ten is eligible for the Orange Bowl three times between 2014 and 2016.

 

Orange will pick the highest-ranked team from Big Ten, SEC or Notre Dame to play a team from the ACC. If the Orange takes a Big Ten team, the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl will take an ACC team in place of the Big Ten.

 

1. Rose Bowl (New Year’s Six)

– Rose Bowl will choose a Big Ten representative if one of the conference’s teams is in the playoff

 

2. Orange Bowl vs. ACC or Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl vs. SEC

– Agreement is for five different teams in six years, so no Minnesota or Michigan.

 

3. Outback Bowl vs. SEC

– Agreement is for five different teams in six years, so no Wisconsin or Northwestern.

 

4. National Funding Holiday Bowl vs. Pac-12

– Agreement is for five different teams in six years, so no Nebraska or Wisconsin.

 

5. TaxSlayer Bowl or Music City Bowl vs. SEC

– ACC and Big Ten combine with each getting three appearances in six years. The Big Ten played in TaxSlayer last year and will most likely go to Music City. No Penn State or Iowa in TaxSlayer.

 

6. New Era Pinstripe Bowl vs. ACC

– Not official, but would prefer to have eight different teams in eight years, so no Penn State or Indiana if possible.

 

7. Foster Farms Bowl vs. Pac-12

– Agreement is for five different teams in six years, so no Maryland or Nebraska.

 

8. Quick Lane Bowl vs. ACC

 

9. Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl vs. Conference USA

– Agreement for three Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas and three Armed Forces bowls in six years. Illinois played in Dallas two years ago, it’s Big 12 vs. Navy in Armed Forces this year.

All great breakdowns. Good work.
