Will ISU make a Bowl Game? YES! Which One? LIBERTY BOWL 12/29
- Thread starter shadow
- Start date
Year after year we don't show up under CMC in September. Team never looks very prepared. Purdy's last year after the Fiesta win was a head scratcher since the team was full of veterans, but played like they hadn't been on the field together. Usually the offense and special teams that aren't showing up til October. Hopefully the coaching changes will remedy that going into next fall. Sick of looking like crap against Iowa.
They can if there are not enough 6-6 teams to qualify for all the bowls. Then I think it comes down to the academic rating of the 5-7 teams on who gets to go.
5 wins seem likely and doable. It's the 6th win that gets tricky. 7 is just a big eggplant.
Back in some projections now…who would’ve thought this matchup a couple weeks ago with us being favored
I think if we continue to improve as we go (as we normally do) we should get the 6. Of course, that Ohio loss is going to be a stinger if we just miss..heck, could say the same for the Hok loss too.
A really good take.
I would like to think that there is a 50-50 chance of a bowl game, but the weak play on the road does make that a bit less likely. Saturday should give us some clearer perspective.
5-7 still seems most likely to me. If the defense doesn’t shore up, I don’t see the offense hanging with Kansas. I think we get 2 of 3 between Baylor, cincy, and BYU but get ran out of the stadium by KU and Texas and don’t have enough gas in the tank to outlast KSU in Manhattan with a bowl birth on the line
While I think there's a decent chance, as of now I'm going to say no because I just don't know if we're ready to win 3 of 4 which I this what is needed. They're all winnable - but as the Ohio game showed, also loseable. Man, that one hurts worse now cause if we were 4-2, that would give us an important margin for error
I think it all hinges on this week's game. Win at Cincy and yes, I think we'll go bowling. Lose, and it's awfully difficult to find three more wins.
Beat the newcomers, and you only need one win against Baylor/KU/KSU. 6 seems the most likely finish at this point, but it could go +/-1 either way.
I know - it's too bad CMC continues to install completely new offensive schemes each year
It's commonly accepted that outstanding talent covered up subpar coaching. I think our offense is executing significantly better this year.
Need to find a way to win 2 of the next 3. The final 3 games will be difficult.
6-6 would be a great outcome after the Ohio disaster with a team this young.

Brett Mcmurphy has us against Colorado in the Independence Bowl. Crappy location, but would be a fun matchup and chance to send a message to the Buffs as the join they conference.
