Official Bowl Selection (Fix was In) Thread

[SonofaSailor]

Just figured I'd start a place to discuss everything including after we invariably find out that we are headed to Atlanta, GA for the holidays...yuck. I hope that doesn't come true because this team and staff deserve better.

Hey at least Atlanta has a nice airport and no traffic wait what

I think iowa vs stanford in the rose and Ohio state vs notre dame in the fiesta. Would be 2 epic games.

I think the committee will keep the hawks ahead of OSU in the cfp rankings by one or two spots. The hawks might just switch with MSU and be #5. I think the hawks go to pasadena.

 

[ThunderHawk]

I really want Notre Dame. I don't care where. Hell you could play it in Fargo and I'd go to that one

I kind of agree here.

Ohio St will destroy Note Dame though.

I think the committee wants an Alabama-Oklahoma final. Look for MSU to jump Oklahoma for #3. And they should since they actually played yesterday.

Clemson
Alabama
Michigan St
Oklahoma

The committee doesn't care about who is in the final. They care more about keeping Oklahoma from playing a semi-final close to home in Dallas.

It wouldn't have worked anyway. Sparty is going to crush Alabama the same way Ohio State did last year and the way Iowa would have had we won last night.

 

[EstronHawkKing]

I don't want t play N Dame, too much of a mid west team. Would like to face a team from another part of the country.

1% chance of that happening. 50% Fiesta, 49%Peach.

 

[lightning1]

I'd go to Pasadena. I'm not going to Atlanta

 

[SonofaSailor]

Yeah after talking with a friend of a friends friends barber (aka....info is in no way coming from a "good" source) I am thinking my gut feeling for no rose bowl is correct.

 

[SonofaSailor]

It would not surprise me if OSU gets Rose even ranked lower by committee

 

[hawkfan340]

So do we see the full rankings at this 11am thing? Or just the top 4?

 

[Stanzi]

Wrong. 99% chance of Rose Bowl. You heard it here first. Iowa is a virtual lock for the Rose based on what I'm hearing.

Agree. Just booked my families airfare and hotel to LA. Putting my money where my mouth is.

I hope you bought refundable/transferable tickets.

Absolutely no need.
