Bowl Situation Thread

Been there, done that.

But would do it again before NYC

I've seen a couple people tweeting about how they will now vote for OSU #2... I don't think it is too far-fetched

I'd like to be the only team to have beaten the national champ --- that helps in next year's early polls. OSU stomping OU helps us in this year's bowls eyes as well -- still think Holiday is a long shot but love San Diego!!!

any chance we will know where we are going before the selection show tommorow night at 9 pm on ESPN???

Yes - it will leak by tomorrow afternoon. Book it.

Could be as little as 25 Harris poll voters (out of 115) and as few as 17 coaches (out of 59) that would push them ahead given a few other circumstances.

I won't ever go back to shreveport. Twice was too much.

The Harris Poll has a history of preventing rematches in the national title game.

I expect around 5 or 6 that news may leak on where ISU is going

Unfortunately, these are probably all AP voters, hopefully we see similar changes from the polls that count.

I was with the band so this'd be the first time doing it as a real bowl trip. Plus its a lot more drivable.

One thing I just asked myself, with this big of a rout for Oklahoma how far do they really fall? I can imagine that human polls are going to give them a pretty big drop...

This is what is also interesting and worry some for the B12's hope of getting 2 teams in to BCS

This showing will likely move OSU to #2 and KSU into BCS ---- I love it.

NBC Sports says Independence Bowl.

Iowa beat Michigan, but was otherwise the picture of mediocrity in the Big Ten Conference.

I like whoever wrote that.

I don't know that it will leak early because we might not know if the Big 12 gets 2 teams.

Understood!

actions - i.e. kicking the **** out of OU --- speaks louder then words.

Makes sense to me. However, I thought Gundy made a huge tactical error last week by downgrading his team. I hope he didn't "convince" the one vote that he might have gotten otherwise.

The AD will know in advance of any TV production.

This would be awesome. Do you really think OK State has a chance of getting the #2 spot? I hope so, but it seems like it might already be locked up for Alabama.

Are you hearing anyone on TV even suggesting this possibility?

 

[cyclonefreak5]

I really think KState would be selected over OU or Baylor (assuming they are all in the top 14) so OU getting destroyed doesnt matter too much... also assuming they are able to remain ahead of Michigan

The stars are aligning for the best chance for OSU to move to #2 --- I hope it happens and it is certainly not out of the question as a lot of voters were just looking for a reason for no re-match. If this holds they are getting it.
