2017 Bowl Projections

[IrishSteelhead]

This is a good idea.

How about "The wheels have come off bowl at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway vs WSU"?

Love it.

Too bad Nebraska isn’t eligible, or we could have a “retirement match” against them like old washed up professional wrestlers who were once dominant had back in the 80’s.

Barry O vs Cowboy Bob Orton

The Blue & Gold Bruisers vs. The Corn Crushers. Oh wait, they were cousins and partners. Before your time huh Region?

Ughh can we just skip football and have a bra and panties match against someone's women's soccer team if we're going full WWF?

Lol. A Bunkhouse Stampede against the local Boy Scout troop.

 

[SonofOahu]

Where did they beat LSU? Let's go back there.

Tennessee. Music City Bowl.

THIS!

Like I've said a number of times, going from SB to a warm, humid climate in December is hard on the body. When I returned home during Winter breaks, it took me a day to breathe normally because the air just felt thicker. Exercise sucked because you got tired quickly. It takes some time to adjust.

they go a week before the game so plenty of time to adjust

Citrus (Orlando): Notre Dame vs. South Carolina

My worst nightmare...

My worst nightmare...

We have to be able to do better than that.

We have to be able to do better than that.

Sounds pretty clear we're going to the Citrus (or something called the Camping World Bowl - I'd rather the Citrus). Just a question of opponent.

 

[NDMIA]

1) Jan 1 - Citrus Bowl - $4.55M
2) Dec 30 - Taxslayer Bowl - $3.5M
3) Dec 29 - Sun Bowl - $2M
4) Dec 29 - Music City Bowl - $1.84M
5) Dec 29 - Belk Bowl - $1.7M
6) Dec 28 - Camping World Bowl - $2.28M
7) Dec 28 - Military Bowl - $1M

Just go in order of date played and then per team payout. Citrus Bowl gives us most days to practice and try and improve team for next season and highest bowl payout. Hopefully we get one of the top two Bowls and they come down to Florida

 

[stlnd01]

Yeah. Citrus against South Carolina or LSU is probably about the best we can hope for, and seems appropriate.

I think Oklahoma is going to wax TCU and we'll end up in the Cotton bowl vs PSU.

 

[Rudy89]

Sun Bowl would be cool. I have good memories of last time we went to the Sun Bowl.

Meaning, Citrus Bowl or Camping World bowl, in all likelihood.

 

[ACamp1900]

thats expected to be ISU or uSC right?

Re-match with LSU??

 

[Huntr]

SB Nation: Citrus Bowl vs LSU
Jerry Palm: Camping World Bowl vs Iowa State
ESPN Bonagura: Camping World Bowl vs Iowa State
ESPN Hale: Citrus Bowl vs LSU
USA Today: Camping World Bowl vs Kansas State
SI.com: Camping World Bowl vs Iowa State

 

[ickythump1225]

I would love to play Kansas St. or ISU.

 

[pumpdog20]

ISU has some good receivers, so it'll be a chore with our secondary.

Lazard I bet would love to light up the secondary.

Iowa State will probably beat us by multiple scores the way our offense is currently playing. KSU we might be able to beat.

 

[Rudy89]

If we win the citrus bowl it would be the biggest bowl win I would have seen since I have been in school.

 

[GATTACA!]

The Camping World Bowl?? Just decline it ffs.

What a tremendous thud to end the year on.

 

[Henges24]

I don't really care what bowl we play in. It was a disappointing end of the season, obviously. I just hope we don't play LSU. I'd rather see a new team like ISU or KSU. Just win, please.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Irishlax, I agree totally. We have a much better chance at Kansas State. I really think ISU would beat us pretty bad.

Not a fun end of the year.

Isn't it just the former Russell Athletic Champs bowl renamed? Don't get caught up in a name. It's one of the few "next tier" bowl games after the NYD games that any team would like to be in. Decent payout too.

[koonja]

When Colin Cowherd was saying we were one-dimensional after the USC win, he said we'd end up in the camping world bowl in his stupid rants.

 

[beryirish]

I'd love to see them cut down the bowl games and raise the minimum win to bowl eligibility to 7.

I know it won't happen because money is king but I would like it more as a fan. Too many pointless bowls - practically awarding on the participation principle.

 

[Irishize]

I think Oklahoma is going to wax TCU and we'll end up in the Cotton bowl vs PSU.

Wouldn’t you also need SC to blow out Stanford? Then Nd would face UW in Cotton Bowl. That’s a long shot.
