One common place to talk about bowls and predictions.


Final rankings in 15 min.

Will Iowa go to Rose and play Stanford? Fiesta and play Stanford?

Clemson vs OU in the Orange, and MSU v Alabama in Cotton?
 
I'll take a crack at the New Year's Six.

Orange: #1 Clemson vs. #4 Oklahoma
Cotton: #2 Alabama vs. #3 Michigan State

Sugar: Oklahoma State vs. Ole Miss
Rose: Ohio State vs. Stanford
Fiesta: Iowa vs. Houston
Peach: Florida State vs. Notre Dame


Committee top 10 will look something like:

1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Michigan State
4. Oklahoma
5. Stanford
6. Ohio State
7. Iowa
8. Notre Dame
9. Florida State
10. TCU

I think OSU jumps Iowa for the Rose, just in name alone.

I would rather see OU play Clemson, even if they don't get to play in Dallas.

That's the plan for years to come now. ESPN practically begged the college football powers-that-be to move them to Jan. 2, a Saturday, this year, but they refused because they want to build a New Year's Eve tradition of semifinal games. I am curious to see what happens when NYE falls on a Sunday against NFL football though.
 
Ah never mind Bos. Didn't see you said New Year's Eve. I like that idea too
 
I think the committee liked tOSU more than Iowa. So I see Iowa getting stuck at the cactus bowl against Houston. It would be funny watching them lose against and to a G5 school.
 
I really think the committee is going reward Iowa and put them ahead of OSU and into the Rose Bowl.

Iowa's resume is better than OSU's AND Iowa is truly the B1G runner up by losing in the title game, so why shouldn't they?

If they do screw Iowa in favor of OSU, then it really does mean it's only about the $$$.

There will be an act of congress to add a second Sunday to that week, a New Years Eve Sunday and a NFL Sunday.

I think Iowa is above Ohio State just because they played 13 and OSU played 12. I also see the MSU got one #1 vote in the new AP this morning.
