Agree, they would take us in a heartbeat, but the Insight moved up the order this year and the Holiday moved down. ISU would probably have to win 2 games to get a look from the Insight. Better shot at the Holiday or Texas probably even if that happens.

3 wins gets us there though.

How amazing would it be if ISU and Baylor win out, ISU beats them in the championship game, and goes on to the Fiesta Bowl?

Do not read into bowl projections -- ESPECIALLY with 4 weeks left in the season and championship Saturday.

Even then, they don't consider intangibles in a conference like the Big XII where bowl representatives have complete freedom over selections.

This would fulfill Pollard's request to the Insight/Fiesta Bowl Committee last year that we be invited to the Fiesta Bowl.

Once we get our 6th win, then I'll start to worry about whether we would turn down a New Mexico Bowl invite. Until then I'm just going to hope that we even have that chance!

Assuming we do get a 6th win though, I think we are going to own whatever bowl we go to, since we'll be one of the best 6-6 or 7-5 teams in the country.

ISU may need an at-large spot, so we need as few bowl eligible teams as possible

Important Teams to Root against
Notre Dame
Fresno State
Idaho
BYU
Georgia
Michigan
Purdue
Clemson
Southern Cal winning out and the Pac 10 being short would be good also.

There are quite a few others, but these are the big ones. SEC, MWC and WAC all have a good shot of not having enough teams. The Big East is a cluster ****.

I'd probably just play XBox or read a book. Maybe watch some basketball.

This x 10. I think we were predicted to be in this same bowl until December last year. Look what happened next.

Also, why would KSU be taken ahead of us? We would most likely be 4-4 and they would be 3-5. I know that they don't necessarily go in order, but would think we would go ahead of them.

It's all about who the bowls think will bring in the most cash. Head to head and conference record don't matter much for Big XII bowls.
