Alamo Bowl

Way rather play Stanford than UCF tbh

Just a word of caution that the Alamo doesn’t have to invite us.

Interesting that the CCG cost the B10 their place this year

 

[DelFrog]

Also #15 seems a little harsh but no room to argue with how we played yesterday

Stanford.. with one less win and one more loss, ahead of TCU makes zero sense. They both have two loses to the same teams, USC and Oklahoma. Apparently the fact that OU is significantly better than USC didn't matter to the committee.

 

[Pharm Frog]

So the committee is saying that it's better to just NOT make your conference championship game.

Just for this season.

Does it make a big difference at this point?

Seriously - what is the second pick after the Alamo and who would it be against?

I don’t really know so I am curious if the drop is that big

There is a 100% chance we will be in the Alamo. Don’t believe the Big 12 bowls have ever not taken a clear #2 in the standings that is also ranked higher than and beat the #3 team.

 

[TX_Krötenechse]

That ranking is absolute bs.

undarningbelieveable and inexcusable.

How? End of the day, we have three losses and only one real quality win. We had a good season in probably the deepest conference in college, but if we are honest with ourselves, we don’t have the resume for NY6.

^^^ This. Best way to protest - don't go to San Antonio. Screw them.

Only hurts TCU to do this.

I look forward to that thread.

Look at Washington, Stanford and Notre Dame’s resumes. TCU’s Is clearly better. Period.

Lots of members of the Cotton Bowl committee are in the hospitality industry...restaurants, hotels, airlines...follow the money.

I dont disagree, but are you basing that on program perception, matchup, or that and more?

Really? How good is Washington's schedule? They sat on the butts yesterday and they are in. Big 10 3 teams in, ACC two teams in, PAC 12 2 teams in, SEC 3 teams in, Big 12 1 team in.

This is not, and has nothing to do with, how the Cotton Bowl matchup is decided.

Why do we care though? It literally doesn’t impact us AT ALL.

I dont like hurting TCU unless it is to fire a program crushing basketball coach, may he rest in peace.

Don’t recall a CCG loser being punished this severely in the polls either. Okie Lite being there last year helps us for sure. But I’d have a hard time saying anything is 100% certain based solely on history

 

[LisaLT]

Has the Alamo bowl been confirmed yet?

Better matchup by far and playing G5 is lose lose. Would be cool to get another NY6 bid, but I’d rather beat Stanford than lose to UCF
