Looks like with Oklahoma getting into the BCS that pushes Okie State to Cotton, Texas to Alamo and K-State as our opponent in BWW bowl

Alright RA....how about now?

95% chance we play Texas?

It's between Texas and Kansas St.

It depends who gets At Large BCS bids. If Oklahoma makes the top 14 of the BCS poll then they'll be an eligible At Large. They were #17 last week.

BCS National Championship - Florida St/Auburn
Rose..................................- Stanford/Mich St
Fiesta................................- Baylor/?????
Orange..............................??????/??????
Sugar................................?????/?????

UCF is IN somewhere as conference champs.

That leaves 4 slots for 5 At Large teams. Alabama, Ohio St, Clemson, Oregon, Oklahoma.

At Large teams

Alabama (11-1) - IN
Ohio St (12-1) - IN

Final two At Large slots is politics between these three teams.

Clemson (10-2) - (Orange???)
Oregon (10-2) -
Oklahoma (10-2) - (Sugar????) If they get to #14

It's assumed the Orange goes with ACC due to ACC Champ Tie-in. FSU isn't available but they might dance with who brought them (ACC-Clemson). They have to pick two At Large's.

The Sugar (next year) becomes part of the Big XII/SEC Championship Series. The Sugar also has to pick two At Large teams.

The Orange Bowl gets priority in picking.

If Oklahoma gets selected for At Large then BWW likely gets Kansas St

Baylor - Fiesta
Oklahoma - At Large ????
Oklahoma St - Cotton
Texas - Alamo
K. State - BWW

Kansas State will be the most boring matchup possible

both Schlaback and edwards have us playing K State in the most recent projections, I hate this dull matchup.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

We own KState....

This is not intriguing at all. We'll likely get our shit kicked in now

 

[Papalou]

They have Texas vs Oregon in the AlamoBowl

That would truly suck

I'm sure synder and ad currier are on phones all day today I don't think me and other ksuu fans want this match up' either it would be a boring bowl both teams might have nothing to gain but bowl winnings. Huskers win you just beat a team that you own if ksu wins we just beat the 4 or 5 best team in big 10

I agree, who do the KSU fans want to see in a bowl?

USA Today projects...

Rose:.................. Michigan St vs Stanford
Orange:............... Clemson vs Ohio St
Capital One:......... Wisconsin vs. Missouri
Outback:...............Nebraska vs LSU
Bufallo Wild Wings: Kansas State vs. Michigan
Gator:...................Iowa vs. Georgia
Meineke (Texas):...Washington State vs. Minnesota

There are a lot of politics in bowl selections in who they think will travel better. The Big 10 rule is that a bowl can only select a team over another if they are within one game of each other.

If going by conference record (as priority) and head-to-head as a tie breaker, it would lay out like this.

1. Michigan St: (8-0)(12-1) Rose
2. Ohio State:...(8-0)(12-1) BCS At Large
3. Wisconsin:....(6-2)(9-3) Capital One
4. Iowa:...........(5-3)(8-4) Outback
5. Nebraska:.....(5-3)(8-4) Buffalo Wild Wings
6. Minnesota:....(4-4)(8-4) Gator
7. Michigan:......(3-5)(7-5) Meineke Car Care (Texas Bowl)

USA Today is the only one I've seen projecting that.

ESPN has both Mark Schlabach and Brad Edwards projecting....

Buffalo Wild Wings: Nebraska vs Kansas St
