Bowl projections
- Thread starter Charlie Marlow
- Start date
Looking for validation from big brother. So sad and pathetic
Can we somehow play with ourselves?
You need to reword this sentence..
I know, just seeing if you were paying attention.
Motivation is a clear betting angle in bowl games. But teams that "don't care" are teams that played in the playoffs the year before and/or had higher expectations. Like Florida State last year. That doesn't apply to a program that hasn't gone the longest of all teams without even going to a bowl. Kids that slack off in practice need to be suspended and kept home from the bowl game. There's no one who is untouchable on this team-- the best players on this team are also the hardest workers so don't worry about them.
CBS sports has Nebraska playing Boston College in the Pinstripe and has Michigan in the Music playing Missouri…
Which means nothing because their basically going by over all record.

It depends on whether Michigan want to play in NYC. I would say Music City would take Michigan. But the folks in Nashville get probably double the fans from Nebraska that any of the other B1G possible teams.
Doubt it’s Music City , buy Phoenix or Charlotte are not taking a7-5 Minnesota or Rutgers over Nebraska and the fans
Most likely who picks first between Music and Pinstripe and will Michigan fans travel better to Nashville than Husker fans..
Only problem with that bowl game is it’s the day after Christmas for the ones that want to travel before the game..
I want to win a Bowl Game for a million reasons, this is not one of them
OT: It appears both Sanders and Hunter will forego CU's bowl game and get ready for draft day. It's never been all about them.
Rutgers was there last year. They can't be this year. (variety clause)
My understanding is the bowl pick in. the following order after the playoff teams: 1) Citrus 2) Reliaquest 3) Mayo 4) Music City 5) Pinstripe 6) Rate 6) Quick Lane
Citrus: Illinois at 9-3 should be the pick. Would be shocked to see it go to anyone else
Reliaquest: Iowa at 8-4 seems the most likely
Mayo: I can't imagine them not taking Michigan at 7-5 after the Ohio St win
Music City: This is where it gets interesting. Minn and Rutgers are 7-5 but Neb beat Rutgers and is a bigger draw than Minn. So I believe this is Nebraska
Pinstripe: Rutgers gets to play across the river
Rate: USC. Yup I believe Minn gets bypassed for the Trojans
Quick Lane: Minnesota
Washington goes to an at-large bowl
Citrus: Illinois at 9-3 should be the pick. Would be shocked to see it go to anyone else
Reliaquest: Iowa at 8-4 seems the most likely
Mayo: I can't imagine them not taking Michigan at 7-5 after the Ohio St win
Music City: This is where it gets interesting. Minn and Rutgers are 7-5 but Neb beat Rutgers and is a bigger draw than Minn. So I believe this is Nebraska
Pinstripe: Rutgers gets to play across the river
Rate: USC. Yup I believe Minn gets bypassed for the Trojans
Quick Lane: Minnesota
Washington goes to an at-large bowl
Well thought off..
I like it. Surprised the Mayo picks so high…
Music game with Missouri would be a sell out..
Rutgers can’t go to pinstripe. So maybe Rutgers drops to quick lane and minny goes to NY
I found this on the Athlon Sports site:
Five different teams must appear over six years for the Citrus, Reliaquest, Music City, Guaranteed Rate and Quick Lane Bowls. Two different teams must appear over three games for the Duke's Mayo Bowl, while the Pinstripe Bowl aims to have eight different programs over eight years.
I still think the Music City would choose Nebraska as it's top choice. If that holds the Pinstripe will not select Rutgers or Minn since both played there in the last 8 years. That would move USC up.
So I have:
Citrus: Illinois
Reliaquest: Iowa
Mayo: Michigan
Music City: Nebraska
Pinstripe: USC
Rate: Rutgers
Quick Lane: Washington (Minnesota is ineligible)
MInnesota: At-large
I think USC and Washington go to bowl ties with the pac 12 as I understand
I think Duke should be barred from playing in the Duke's Mayo bowl.
They have been all over the place this year, some good showings, some bad.
Rate Bowl in Phoenix would be 90% corn and I would go, so hoping for Rate Bowl
Agreed, seems like an unfair advantage
I don’t think Texas Tech would kill us. I’m sure our defense would hold them in check. CU put up 41 on them I’d hope we could hit 20 that would be enough to win
