Just wondering about bowl matchups

[7Samurai13]

I think they only want them to play FCS once every 3 or 4 years max now

It’s just frowned upon, like masterbating on an airplane.

In my defense they really should tell you youre not supposed to do that

cant smoke and they have signs. if there is not a sign against it, then i should be allowed to do what i want

 

[Olyduck]

I think once many years ago....Nebraska and OU fans can confirm this....the Sooners played the Huskers in the Orange Bowl.

Other than that, I can't think of it happening in just a regular bowl game.

it was already pointed out where it did

Shit, many planes still have ashtrays in the armrests still. Just tempting people to smoke.

I was in college when the no smoking on planes was going in, I was booking a flight from Boston to Atlanta and decided it would be cool to get a seat in the smoking section for one of the last smoking flights...I was still smoking then. Holy hell what a shitshow.

The old lady beside me must have smoked 80 cigarettes on a 3 hour flight, she had two going multiple times...and she wasn't alone, the air was so thick, my 30 year old self would have thought we were hot boxing that bitch. By the time we got to Atlanta I thought I had emphysema.

Even now, 30 years later and millions of air miles, still top 5 worst flights ever, and I've been through turbulence so bad it knocked out two stewardesses and several old prop planes in Africa with chickens and goats and shit.

To my knowledge, the B1G doesn't play FCS teams, so at least the matchup should be a little better. Worst case, schedule a neutral site game with a P5 opponent.

You need to improve your knowledge.

In 2020 there are 7 Big10 teams playing FCS schools.

9-4 Ill-Ill State
9-5 Rutgers vs Monmouth
9-5 Maryland vs Towson
9-5 Iowa vs Northern Iowa
9-12 Minnesota vs Tenn Tech
9-12 Wisconsin vs Southern Ill
9-19 Nebraska vs South Dakota State

Yeah, we already discussed how the B1G recently changed their rules back to allow FCS teams.

Nope. They can play them every other year.

Knew it was something like that

Are there rules that prohibit conference teams from playing bowl games against each other(outside the CFP)? There are times that a good matchup could have occurred if they hadn't played already in the regular season. i.e, Penn St and Wisconsin last year.

There is no NCAA rule prohibiting a match-up of same-conference teams in bowl games, and I am unaware of any conferences that restrict this from happening. But most leagues probably try to avoid this scenario.

There have been at least four instances of this happening, and each one was a re-match of a regular season game:

1946 Gator Bowl, Wake Forest beat South Carolina 28-14 after the teams fought to a 14-14 tie in the regular season (ACC).

1960 Sugar Bowl, Ole Miss blanked LSU 21-0 after the Tigers won the first match-up 7-3 (SEC).

1979 Orange Bowl, Oklahoma avenged a 17-14 regular season loss to Nebraska with a 31-24 triumph over the Corn Huskers (Big 8).

2012 BCS National Championship, Alabama crushed LSU 21-0 after the Tigers slipped by the Tide 9-6 (OT) in the regular season (SEC).

I believe there was also a game in which two members of the Mountain West met up after not playing each other in the regular season.

There have also been numerous re-matches of non-conference teams in bowl games after the same teams played each other in the regular season.

A few others off the top of my head...

Alabama beat SEC Champion Ole Miss in the January 1964 Sugar Bowl.
Florida beat Tennessee in the 1969 Gator
Auburn beat Ole Miss in the 1970 Gator Bowl
Alabama beat SEC Champion Georgia in the January 2018 CFB Playoff Championship.

Interestingly, all 3 of Alabama's SEC vs. SEC Bowl Games: 1963 (Ole Miss @ Sugar), 2011-2 (LSU @ BCS Championship in New Orleans) and 2017-8 (Georgia @ CFB Playoff Championship in Atlanta) were wins by the Tide over the SEC Champion from that season.

I don't believe they ever had a rule that said they couldn't, rather it was asked of teams, not to schedule them.
They have always had some teams playing 1-AA's.

Big Ten Will No Longer Schedule Games Against FCS Schools

Whether you call a policy a rule or not is semantics.

Semantics or not...the article said they won't be playing FCS schools after 2016. This coming year is 2020 and
7 are still scheduling these teams. Plus if folks will look at their future schedules they have 1-AA's booked thru 2024.

It sounded nice, but if they want to have more than 6 teams bowl eligible they must play a 1-AA as one of their 3
OOC games.

Right, as was previously posted, they changed the rule.

Speaking of Bowl matchups, I would like to see the Big 12 Champion vs ACC Champion if they are not in the College Football Playoff (or the second placed team if the champion is in the playoff). Playing at the Orange Bowl would be a nice site.

That isn't likely to come to pass since the Big 12 champion is currently under contract to play the SEC champion in the Sugar Bowl if both teams fail to make the playoff. Of course, with the SEC putting teams into the playoffs 7 times in 6 years, and the Big 12 doing it 4 times in that same span, it is rare for the champions to actually meet unless it is in the playoffs.

 

[BamaDude]

Alabama beat SEC Champion Ole Miss in the January 1964 Sugar Bowl.

I remembered a season in which Alabama beat Ole Miss in a bowl game, but I didn't realize it was that far back.
