Is there a bowl ranking system to rate the amount of crime you might expect to experience as a tourist?

That would be disappointing, and yet optimistic and exciting at the same time. I think this team has the talent and coaching for better than the Liberty Biwl, but we're only 4-2 and likely underdogs in 4 or 5 of our remaining 6 games.

Liberty Bowl would be my realistic preference. Memphis is great, it's on a Saturday on ABC, it would be against an SEC opponent. I'd rather play a Mississippi State or a Kentucky though. Comparable athletes and a game we could be expected to win. Even better, if Vanderbilt gets to 6-6, let's play them and then tickets will be cheaper since they have no fans.

Wow, 2 B1G teams in the playoff, but no Big 12 teams.... ok?

Nevermind that as someone else said yesterday, the B1G is like 1-17 against ranked teams this year. Yeah, they're so good.
Did have 3 in the New Years Six which if we were bowl eligible would move us up big time

Big 12 Diehards has ISU projected to the Armed Forces Bowl in Ft. Worth vs. Army. This is a legit site, I believe it is Tim Griffith left the San Antonio Express to be part of this group. They put out some good stuff.

It would be fun to play Army, and I liked playing them at JTS a few years ago, but it would really suck to go play in TCU's stadium, a place we play in on a regular basis, for a bowl game.

Speaking of Army, they had 0 passing yards and still won yesterday.

I would rather play Mi$$ery and laugh at their SEC money.
