Bowl Projections

[lo country]

Would love it if they came to Charlotte, NC for the Belk game, but that's an ACC/SEC bowl.....

Any scenario that would put Texas in a bowl game?

So if NU finishes 3-0 with 2 wins over Top 10 teams, are they not red hot also?......

Actually, a three game winning streak doesn't carry as much weight as one might think.

Gives NU a David and Goliath flare, that story line could sell on ESPN!

Bowls are about filling seats. Nebraska is normally a good investment for a bowl game. California has the largest contingent of Nebraska supporters outside the state of Nebraska. Oregon is just up the road.

If Nebraska were to win against Iowa, it would mean that they had knocked off two top ten teams in three weeks. It would be a good draw for them I think.

If the game is played, we will head up for sure. I just hope the team makes a bowl game. This one is relatively close.

Any way the stars could align and we play Florida State?

Why, pray tell, would we possibly be matched up with Oregon? Surely their record is considerably better than ours and they would be in a much better bowl selection than the bottom tier with us?

Nebraska will alway get picked pretty high. Record has nothing to due with it. It comes down to butts in seats & NU always travels well.

 

[Blackshirt96]

I feel like Nebraska has gone to Florida a lot as well for bowls recently, and that has not helped build a recruiting pipeline in the state of Florida. Texas bowl destination would be nice.

Cali would be nice as well.

Skersfan, just to be nitpicky, but I beleive that would be three straight games, not weeks.

The B1g isn't going to pair us with a team we're playing in the non con the next 2 seasons.

 

[Mierin]

Not really excited about the prospect of playing Arkansas but I guess we shouldn't be picky.

 

[ScottyIce]

Question for whoever said that the B10 wouldn't let us play Oregon when we play them the next two seasons...

Why did someone allow us to play Washington twice in a season a few years back? Early season matchup we dominated Locker. Then lost to them in bowl game same season.

Now that was silly. I wasn't on the board back then, so sorry if it was beat to death.

I think everyone assumed the Big12 were being a*holes. It was pretty suspicious that they had Missouri playing Iowa instead of Nebraska playing Iowa. There's no way that bowl thought it was a better match up.
