6-6 and playing against the Fighting Frankies...

Wouldn't that be something? NU would have to be the only 6-6 team in the B1G tho.

Brad Edwards still sees us in the Rose Bowl facing USC.........

Schlabach see us in the Capitol One Bowl facing Florida.......

Does he realize we just played in that Bowl and got ourn asses handed to us there?

Other than the Rose Bowl, does the standings matter? It's just the 2-6 bowls picking, right?

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

No, standings do not force Bowls to do anything.....

They do, however, influence their decisions.

They get to pick in that order. Generally they try to take the best available, but if 2-3 teams are close (from one conference) the default is always...

Bowls can pick who they want as long as they aren't picking a team two less losses.

In other words, they can't pick a 6-6 team for the Gator Bowl if there is an 8-4 ahead of them.



*This is how I understand it. I could be wrong however.

Not entirely true. As of 2007 bowls with B10 tie-ins cannot take anyone they want. The teams have to be within 1 game of each other in overrall record or have a better conference record for a bowl to skip a team. Ie a bowl couldnt take a 6-6 Nebraska ahead of an 8-4 Northwestern or a 7-5 Michigan ahead of a 9-3 Purdue etc etc. This is actually callled the " Iowa rule" since in 2006 Iowa at 6-6 and 2-6 in the B10 jumped 4 teams ahead of them to got to the Alamo bowl which was 1 year after a 7-4 Iowa team jumped Michigan for the Outback Bowl. The bowls were basically taking the teams that travelled better ahead of the teams with better records.

I did not know that

Yep, only exception is if a team has a better conference record like say Nebraska went 1-3 OOC but 7-1 ( 8-4) in the B10 and NW went 4-0 in OOC and 6-2 in the B10 ( 10-2). At that point a bowl could still take Nebraska ahead of NW.
