The question here is if the Big 12 will have 2 BCS teams. If Tech pulls off the upset of Baylor next weekend, there could be 9 teams bowling. If only one B12 team gets a BCS spot it could be interesting to see who doesn't get a Big 12 bowl.

Not to mention, ISU will be at least 7-5 at the end of the regular season. So they will automatically get in.

BEEF ‘O’ BRADY’S BOWL
Pittsburgh (Big East No. 6) vs. Iowa State (replacement for C-USA)
Dec. 20, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN
At St. Petersburg, Fla.
Comment: Conference USA might not be able to fill this slot – Texas-El Paso could get to six wins – but let’s send Iowa State to the beach. Why not? The Cyclones deserve something after topping Oklahoma State to jump start all the BCS chaos.

IMO, The wild card bowl game this year is the Holiday Bowl.
Does the Holiday Bowl pull an Insight?

People have been worried about the officiating being influenced by the big wigs in the Big 12 this year and now we are wanting to play "God's team"???:twitcy:

Everything was going good and then Jon, Squawkeye, hapless homer has to show up and ruin it.
They are in the Big 10 so yeah, we would probably beat them. In fact the only Big 10 team I would say is a sure loss for ISU is Michigan St.
Remember guys, it's all about the dollars spent and who will spend them. Personally, I don't see alot of Clone fans in NYC. I know I won't be one. I can see a **** ton of Clone fans in Houston or even better Dallas.
No one wants to go from a cold region to a cold region. Thats the simple facts. If by the grace of God above we can win one of the next two, I see us in Dallas. My gut tells me that we WILL win one of the next two games.

I'm sure most people on this board thought last Friday was gonna be a sure loss...I never counted us out but I was not optimistic.
According to ESPN
BBVA Compass Bowl
(Big East vs. SEC) - January 6, 2012 Louisville vs. Iowa State
Or....
Kraft Fight Hunger
(Army vs. Pac-12) - December 31, 2011 Iowa State vs. Arizona State
College Bowl Games - 2011 College Bowl Projections and Schedules - ESPN
Is this even possible?

If a league doesn't have enough bowl eligible teams to fulfill their tie ins, the bowls shop around for other teams.
Compass Bowl: probably not id guess
Theyre the 9th SEC pick, if there arent 9 SEC teams, they pick a Sun Belt team. Sun belt has 2 tie ins and 4 teams eligible.
Kraft Fight Hunger:
Its order of selection for the team that goes against the pac is Army (not eligible) then ACC pick #9. There are currently 8 bowl eligible teams with NC State being a possible #9, but miami has announced theyre suspending themselves from a bowl, so there will only be a max of 8 teams for the ACC to send.
