So win and we play in Sugar

lose and we are in Alamo 

Does that cover it or could we still make a NY6 game with a loss? 

Outside shot at the Fiesta with a loss.

Fiesta is an at large bid so we could get it with a win; no?

Thought Big 12 Champ is “promised” to Sugar

No

No. At large means they get to pick from any of the teams in the top 10 of the playoff rankings. Sugar is slotted for Big 12/SEC winners. Since Bama/UGA will go to the playoff or both, an SEC team will be put in there. If Bama wins, UGA goes to the Sugar as the SEC representative.

Yes.  Will get UGA or LSU

Oh,  I thought the payoff changed the tie ins for the NY6 games.

OU is still outside looking in unless Michigan or Notre Dame loses. But if the teams fall ahead of them, I think it's more a free for all and the teams that lose their representatives get first choice on the replacements. They only have to take a Big 12 team if we win the CCG.

OU has to suddenly start playing defense to whiff playoffs.  It's far more likely they will fire 2 DCs this year

I think I'm more confused now.

If it were to happen, I guess still a chance we go sugar?

This is talking out my ass but I think they only have to take Texas if we win. If we lose and OU moves to the playoff, they are not forced to take a Big 12 team. They can take whomever they want. I don't know if they get first choice of the at-large teams since they lose 2 representative but it would make sense.

Rose, orange and sugar don't have to take at large bids. 

So if UW wins the P12, WSU likely in the Alamo?  WSU-WVU first one to 75?

If WSU ends up having to play Texas again I'll probably go postal.  

(not really, but it would suck for me)

The last time Texas left the state to play a bowl game, Obama was still in his first term as president. 

Updated Bowl projections at SI.com have us matched up with LSU in the Peach Bowl and OU/Georgia in the Sugar.

Even more glorious that they’ve got Tech v aggy in Academy Sports/Outdoors Texas Bowl in Houston. Delish

I would rather play LSU but I'd think we could beat either. 

They'd be close games. Just like against Kansas, or OU, or Tulsa, or Lake Travis, or the LA Rams. 

I don’t see Texas wanting to play LSU because we play them so early next year.

yes i would think with the UCF QB out, they become less attractive; they may even take a loss next week.

if OU beats Texas and Bama beats Georgia then Sugar seems an OU-GA rematch, right?

If Texas goes to Alamo, it's going to be Leach WSU right?  But they have 10 wins, so i'm guess they do better than Alamo, probably Holiday.

UCF guaranteed at-large spot as top Group of 5 team.

I believe they have to achieve a certain ranking and w/o QB they could lose.

Yes. Sugar gets their two representatives from each conference. 

Just now, Pancho Negro said:

Would we really have a choice?

Yes; the school and conference accept the bid or not.  

Yeah, we and the Big 12 aren't passing up a New Year's 6 bowl. 

If Texas loses, why not the Holiday instead of Alamo?

That is a point I didn’t consider.  If it is for a New Year’s 6 bowl, we would play anybody.

I thought you went to WSU?

and that’s really my point here. We wouldn’t pass up the peach bowl just because we’d play LSU and the play them again months later. 

 

Holiday doesn't have a Big 12 tie in any longer. I think they went with the Big 10 vs. Pac 12. Why are you so eager to return to the Mack Brown Annual Classic?

I went to WSU and Texas.

Grad school?

Yep.  WSU undergrad and Texas grad.  

We’d get a lot of tv eyes, but at 9-4...there’s just too many good teams ahead of us to get a NY6 spot.  If we lose I’d say it’s 85% Alamo, and 15% Peach/Fiesta/Camping World and even a rounding amount for us to Sugar if Ou makes CFP

I don't know about that, there's only 10 teams with 10+ wins and only 2 more capable of hitting 10 wins (not including us in this exercise as it would assume we lost CCG)  3 of those are G5's in UCF, Utah St (10-1) playing Boise (9-2) tonight.   4 go playoffs, go ahead and cross off 2 G5's and that's 6 teams remaining.  

If it finished as expected today:

bama, dome, UM, clemp in playoff

tOSU-UW rose

OU-UGA sugar

4 spots left for LSU, WSU,  UCF, Pedo, UF, UT.  And that's about it for realistic consideration.  UCF likely gets one if they win next week. WSU likely out of contention. I mean, they could put 4 SEC into playoffs/NY6 along with 3 B1G, but I think we have a high likelyhood of making 1 with 9 wins.

I will add that tOSU is going to screw this up a bit by winning today, and it would be really nice for FSU to get their shit together and expose gata

No LSU until next year I hope.

Would love to see Texas/Georgia.

With the way Ohio state is going, there’s a pretty good chance that the sooners slide into de facto playoff position waiting on Georgia to lose to Alabama. 

So bowl projections that presume ou wins next week will have them in the playoffs instead of sugar, unless they have osu jumping ou. 

It’s really just the NY4 this particular cycle since Rose will clearly take any Pac12 and Big10 teams not in CFP that are still eligible.  

So what’s the pecking order for fiesta and peach?   Who goes first, and is it round robin like Peach, Fiesta, Peach, Fiesta Or is it top pick then next bowl gets both picks before first bowl goes last?   

OU is still outside looking in unless Michigan or Notre Dame loses. But if the teams fall ahead of them, I think it's more a free for all and the teams that lose their representatives get first choice on the replacements. They only have to take a Big 12 team if we win the CCG. 

No, the Sugar Bowl takes B12 number two if the B12 sends someone to the playoff. The conference has a contractual tie in the same as the SEC. See OSU going the first time OU went to the playoffs.

What I don't know is if OU were to end up in the playoffs, would they default to us at 9-4 or would they take a likely slightly higher CFP ranked WVU team. Don't know if it would be CCG loser or highest ranked.
