Bowl Projections Thread

[Red Five]

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.

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.
