Let down for the players
We better not get screwed out of the Texas Bowl
- Thread starter LVH
- Start date
I’d like to see TCU win a game in Arizona

Despite the beat down today, the committee will have a hard time ignoring the drubbing tOSU took from Purdue and the luck it took to beat MD.
Because of that a 12-1 OU is in the CFP over 12-1 tOSU. That puts Texas - by contract in the Sugar Bowl.
Conversely, if Texas beats OU, an 11-2 OU is not being left out of the NY6.
All that said, here’s how it ends up:
CFP/Sugar/Fiesta/Peach - OU & Texas
Alamo/Camping World - ISU & WVU
Texas/Cheez It/Liberty - TCU, Baylor, OkSt
Armed Forces - at large

We’ve had the “fortune” of watching the Fiesta and Buffalo Wild Wings bowls in person.
I was there for both.

You’re optimistic that both OU and Texas play in the NY6 if UT wins Saturday. But I like your thinking. My preference is either Texas or Liberty. Hard to get to Tempe the day after Christmas.

The LSU loss just helped a lot. If OU loses to Texas again, you still gotta figure an 11-2 OU is ranked ahead of 9-3 PSU, LSU, UF, & UK.
I’m more concerned that tOSU pulls like 2014 and gets in CFP over OU. That would throw a wrench in my prediction

Last year the Big12 ChampGame loser (TCU) was left out of the NY6. Youre guessing if OU wins and is snubbed, Texas’s name gets them there this year? I don’t know. I see them at the Alamo Bowl.

9-4 Texas, even with their name, won’t make NY6.
That was only because the semi final was the sugar bowl. If it had not been the Sugars turn to host, TCU would have been in the Sugar last year

I think TCU Athletics should lobby for the Texas Bowl spot at NRG in Houston and try to get South Carolina or Vanderbilt as our opponent. Between the two I would pick South Carolina. NRG has been further updated when they recently hosted the Super Bowl, casual fans would watch a TCU vs South Carolina game nationally on TV, TCU fans would show up at that game. Let's do it and I'm ready to buy our tickets.
I also predict low TCU fan turnout if we get sent to Memphis so soon and low turnout for a Cheez-it bowl. Food for thought.

No. That’s the only scenario I am concerned about. If OU is snubbed, only 1 Big 12 team goes to the NY6 (OU to the Sugar).
But, if OU makes the CFP, the Sugar is contractually obligated to take the Big 12 runner up.

Prefer Frogs to Armed Forces Bowl. Most TCU fans, easy travel. Any Bowl game is OK this year, including staying in FW.
Believe there is also a Gator twice in a 4 year period thingy, and in 1 of those 2 years they don't take the B12 team, the Sun Bowl will have that option.... it's weird

If OU goes CFP, it is likely Texas bowl.
Any Bowl game against a non-P5 opponent would pretty much suck, no matter where it is.
