***Official What Bowl Are We Going To Thread***

Never mind on the Noethern Il comment, but why have a big show if its already known, has OU actually confirmed they are not in a BCS game?

That's what I thought too but I guess we're wrong, they got a 5 spot bump in computer ranking somehow (they were 23rd) by beating a team ranked almost even with them.

It also would have been the highest ranked team they played all year, which would have been a (relative) huge bump to their SOS in the computers which previously only would have included the other crappy MAC schools. It isn't shocking the computer ranking went up if you think about the forumlas they use.

Not completely sure but I assume a 0% chance.

Why do you say that? I thought we were a free agent? I was basing it off of theshadow's post earlier on this page (90)

Or maybe it is ture that Gundy will be gone at OSU and none of the bowls wanted OSU after that.

If true he knows how to go where the money is (from T Boones money to Jerry's money)

Arky State makes a lot of sense for Memphis based on location but I would bet on Shreveport. Central MI for Detroit, and Iowa State to Memphis. The only people that care about Arky State are Arky State grads, not a big deal in this state.

CMU can't be at-large in Detroit because the other team in that game is from the MAC (team still TBA).

so is it for sure the okie state got picked for the HoD?

No

[hurdleisu24]

Because we will get picked over sun belt and c-usa teams. I think they select after the bowls in Memphis and Shreveport.

Well the one new ranking I have seen had them at #32 before and #32 after beating Kent State. So the other five must behave quite differently especially since the best one will be thrown out figuring that #32 was the worst one.

No

[IHavNoCyCash]

could be OU got in, OSU got the cotton (no idea why over Texas), then ISU to HoD.

Better chance of ISU to Super Bowl then that though....almost.

that would be fun...

Seems very unlikely considering who we are playing musical chairs with. It's not like there are SEC teams or other bigger names needing a seat. It's us and 4 others that don't have our resume or following.
