So doomsday scenario...

1.) KSU beats ISU
2.) Incarnate Word makes the second round of the playoffs, so the game never happens. ISU finishes 6-5
3.) OU beats WVU and Texas, but doesn’t make the Playoffs
4.) Texas and WVU miss out on the New Years 6

Bowl selection would look like this...
Orange - OU
Alamo - Texas
Camping World - WVU
Texas - Tech/BU winner (Texas bowl will always take a Texas team)
Liberty - OSU (Avoid ISU since we were there last season)
Cheez-It Bowl - KSU (Synder’s Last game)
Armed Forces Bowl - ISU

It’s possible

Well it’s possible I will marry a millionaire, but I don’t spend time worrying about it.

And if Kansas State plays in a bowl game there’s no way, he retires. It’s stupid so many people think he’s leaving anyway. He’ll drop dead at a game.

When it comes to bowl selections playing IW makes no difference at all..it is where we finish in the conf and what bowl wants to take us after Sugar bowl takes OU assuming they dont make playoffs.

I’m not ruling out KU beating TX next weekend @KU either.

You think the Liberty Bowl is going to avoid a fan base that will bring 15-20k fans their and choose Okie state who will bring maybe 8k..maybe? Just bc we went there last year doesnt mean we cant go there again.

I think we end up in either the Camping World bowl or Cheez it..

We will beat KSU. And it is entirely possible that OU can make the playoffs. Georgia will lose again and I”m predicting tOSU will beat Michigan..BIG will be left out again...Heck I think tOSU will drop a spot or two after that performance.

There is zero chance we’d bring 20k to Memphis again

It would be interesting to see what Liberty Bowl does if our name is available when their slot comes up. Bowls obviously like to avoid repeat appearances, but pickings may be slim.

And also...didn’t K-State go to Phoenix last year?

And if we had to go back to Memphis, can it please actually be an SEC opponent this time and not an at-large AAC???

Really, really doubt it. We had 10 in our group last year and I don't see any going to Memphis again so soon.

I don't think we are going there either. But last year at this time everyone was ******** about Memphis and how they weren't going to go and everyone ended up going

We finish no worse than 4th in conference no matter what happens next week. We don't fall below the Texas Bowl. Likely getting picked by Camping World Bowl.

Oh, you mean that we don't automatically drop to last place by losing at Teas?

I would prefer a bowl game in Texas, but I'm thinking ISU ends up in Orlando.

Interesting that 4 sources have us in 4 different bowl games.

Next week will be exciting.

Honestly, could see ISU making the Alamo Bowl now if OU and texas win next week and Texas wins the Big 12 'ship. Two from the Big 12 in NY6 bowls and I think ISU gets the nod over WVU for Alamo.

this is exactly what i am thinking
