Bowl announcements

[Sooner95]

Just passing along..

Alamo Bowl is having their announcement party at 7:15PM EST


Insight Bowl is having theirs at 6pm EST

[85sooners]

Blah!!!!

[SOONER44EVER]

Bowl Schmowl. Who cares?

[SoonerMom2]

If we are announced for the Alamo Bowl which is the projection against Washington, it will mean that OSU is going to The Fiesta Bowl because if they were in the NC, all the Big 12 teams would move up one bowl! :)

[cccasooner2]

Bowl Schmowl. Who cares?

We don't want to face a team that does not deserve to be on the field with OU.

[BoulderSooner79]

We don't want to face a team that does not deserve to be on the field with OU.

And which teams would be on that list? I can't think of many off hand...

[cccasooner2]

And which teams would be on that list? I can't think of many off hand...


:) If we lose, it's a list of one.

[SoonerMom2]

Try University of Washington for the Alamo Bowl!

[Sooner95]

well ****. excuse me for giving a crap..lol We are 9-3 and if we lose our bowl game, you can bet we will not be ranked in top25.

[Sooner95]

Yea, I've seen alot of projections for Oklahoma vs Washington.

[yermom]

If we are announced for the Alamo Bowl which is the projection against Washington, it will mean that OSU is going to The Fiesta Bowl because if they were in the NC, all the Big 12 teams would move up one bowl! :)

or than the Alamo bowl picked us over Baylor for whatever reason. the picking order isn't only really approximate to conference standings

[Sooner95]

right, it's just the selection order.

Following is the Big 12's selection order:
BCS - Tostitos Fiesta
AT&T Cotton (SEC)
Valero Alamo (Pac-10)
Insight (Big Ten)
Bridgepoint Holiday (Pac-10)
Texas (Big Ten)
New Era Pinstripe (Big East)

[StoopTroup]

I'm not sure who would pick us unless Bob agreed to fire BV.....ROTFLMFAO....

Can you imagine the folks that would be calling after that?

[SoonerMom2]

Was just on Twitter and sources say the Harris Poll is in and it is AL versus LSU

Blevins said had to be major switches in Harris for OSU to get in the National Championship game. Is Boone going to follow through with his threat to investigate if OSU gets left out. That would have been enough for me to lower OSU!


@JoeNBC (Joe Scarborough)
Hope they are right. RT @EthanOgle Just got a message from someone I trust that said Harris Poll is in and that Alabama is in BCS title game

[colleyvillesooner]

Baylor is going to the Alamo, Texas to the Holiday. Means OU in insight vs probably Iowa. KSU to Cotton. Which means OSU to fiesta.

[StoopTroup]

or than the Alamo bowl picked us over Baylor for whatever reason. the picking order isn't only really approximate to conference standings

No way anyone would pick OU after that loss last night to oSu. If I had a choice I'd look at the hype RGIII is getting as a Heisman Front runner and that blow out they gave fexas and I'd pick Baylor immediately.

[Bruiser53]

right, it's just the selection order.

Following is the Big 12's selection order:
BCS - Tostitos Fiesta
AT&T Cotton (SEC)
Valero Alamo (Pac-10)
Insight (Big Ten)
Bridgepoint Holiday (Pac-10)
Texas (Big Ten)
New Era Pinstripe (Big East)

Please refer the bowl with the sixth Big 12 selection by it's new proper name, the Meineke Car Care Bowl of texas. Thanks :P

[Sooner95]

Yea,. this doesn't surprise me. oSu made some gains, but it would not be enough.

[Sooner95]

Please refer the bowl with the sixth Big 12 selection by it's new proper name, the Meineke Car Care Bowl of texas. Thanks :P

haha, yea really.

[SoonerMom2]

Alamo Bowl has been wanting the Sooners for years and if they had a chance, believe we would get the nod. Cancelled my bowl tickets from OU as a game on the 29th does not fit into a schedule for a 2nd Christmas in Denver after the 25th.

[SoonerMom2]

Hasn't A&M has already been announced for Meineke Car Care Bowl of TX?

[colleyvillesooner]

Some now saying KSU Is in sugar leaving cotton free to take OU.

[Sooner95]

Hasn't A&M has already been announced for Meineke Car Care Bowl of TX?


You would be correct.

Texas A&M and Northwestern have accepted bids to play in the 2011 Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas, the bowl organizing committee announced today. The Aggies will represent the Big 12 and the Wildcats will represent the Big Ten

[Sooner95]

Some now saying KSU Is in sugar leaving cotton free to take OU.


That would be something, picking KSU over a Stanford or Michigan.

[Sooner95]

Pinstrip Bowl is in..


Pinstripe Bowl 2011: Rutgers Will Face Iowa State, According To Report

[colleyvillesooner]

Stanford will probably go to the Fiesta vs OSU.

Looking more and more like Cotton vs Arky. 10 year rematch. And they can sling it. Ruh Roh!

[Sooner95]

Texass is in Holiday bowl vs Cal

[yermom]

Some now saying KSU Is in sugar leaving cotton free to take OU.

why would they take us over Baylor?

[OUmillenium]

This is getting interesting. I might actually go to the Cotton Bowl if we are in.

[colleyvillesooner]

why would they take us over Baylor?

Baylor just played in that stadium 2 weeks ago vs Tech. San Antonio news is reporting Baylor vs Washington.

Still not sold on KSU in Sugar.

[Sooner95]

Boise st in going to Las Vegas bowl.

[Sooner95]

Big one...


TCU to Poinsetta..

[colleyvillesooner]

Could Sugar take Va Tech over KSU?

[yermom]

Baylor just played in that stadium 2 weeks ago vs Tech. San Antonio news is reporting Baylor vs Washington.

Still not sold on KSU in Sugar.

yeah, i guess it depends on if TCU qualifies. which i would think they would since i think they are ranked higher than WV

[Sooner95]

I'm seeing Baylor to Alamo, which means we are going to Insight. can't confirm it tho..

[soonercastor]

Baylor to Alamo is official.

[colleyvillesooner]

yeah, i guess it depends on if TCU qualifies. which i would think they would since i think they are ranked higher than WV

They didn't make it.

[Sooner95]

Yea TCU did not make it.

[badger]

They didn't make it.

poor tcu. needed to be at least 16. I bet the BCS bowls are high fiving over that.

[Sooner95]

Insight Bowl OU vs either Iowa or Nebbish...

[yermom]

Jerry Palm says Cotton.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/bowls/predictions

[8timechamps]

I think it's gotta be Cotton (assuming KSU gets a BCS bid). The draw for OU would kill the draw for Baylor (not specifically attendance).

[sooner59]

God help us if our secondary has to face Arky's passing game.

[soonercastor]

God help us if our secondary has to face Arky's passing game.

Arky is the 3rd team in the SEC, the Cotton doesn't get the third team in the SEC.

[MeMyself&Me]

Yes, given the already released details, KSU in a BCS bowl with OU in the Cotton makes sense.

BCS NC: LSU vs Bama
Sugar: Michigan vs KSU
Fiesta: OSU vs Stanford
Orange: Clemson vs West Virginia
Rose: Wisconsin vs Oregon

The spots that I'm not sure would be the Stanford spot in the Fiesta but if wrong, they'd just be swapped with Michigan in the Sugar. Either way, KSU is likely in.

[colleyvillesooner]

So all comes down to does Sugar want VT off an UGLY loss, or KSU.

[Sooner95]

Mizzou to Independence bowl vs N Carolina

[Sooner95]

Yes, given the already released details, KSU in a BCS bowl with OU in the Cotton makes sense.

BCS NC: LSU vs Bama
Sugar: Michigan vs KSU
Fiesta: OSU vs Stanford
Orange: Clemson vs West Virginia
Rose: Wisconsin vs Oregon

The spots that I'm not sure would be the Stanford spot in the Fiesta but if wrong, they'd just be swapped with Michigan in the Sugar. Either way, KSU is likely in.


Us getting a Cotton bowl bid, I'm just not buying. If so, then the Insight is not filling their Big12 team?

[MeMyself&Me]

Important to remember that the order of selection if the NC game is LSU/Bama would be Sugar, Fiesta, Sugar, Orange.

[MeMyself&Me]

Us getting a Cotton bowl bid, I'm just not buying. If so, then the Insight is not filling their Big12 team?

Then that means that the BCS bowls did not take KSU and instead took someone else. Choices will be:

#6 Boise State (going elsewhere according to reports)
#8 Kansas State
#11 Baylor (going elsewhere according to reports)
#12 Virginia Tech
#14 Houston (heh)

[8timechamps]

Arky is the 3rd team in the SEC, the Cotton doesn't get the third team in the SEC.

I don't think it works that way anymore. I think the Cotton bowl (like the other non-BCS bowls) pick based on order, and they can use it to take the highest ranked SEC team, but they are not bound to it.

Of course, I could be wrong...but I have such a HUGE brain, it's unlikely.

[LRoss]

Looks like VTech accepted to Chick-Fil-A

[Sooner95]

Then that means that the BCS bowls did not take KSU and instead took someone else. Va Tech?

Yea, I'm just trying to figure out becuase at this point the Insight has not selected a Big12 team, and us and KSU are all that's left.

[sooner59]

Think about how bad we beat K-state in their house. Now think about K-state in the Sugar Bowl. ugh..

[8timechamps]

Looks like VTech accepted to Chick-Fil-A

That makes me think the Sugar took KSU...which puts us in the Cotton.

[soonercastor]

I don't think it works that way anymore. I think the Cotton bowl (like the other non-BCS bowls) pick based on order, and they can use it to take the highest ranked SEC team, but they are not bound to it.

Of course, I could be wrong...but I have such a HUGE brain, it's unlikely.

You're right, but the cotton does not get the first pick of SEC teams; and I doubt the Capital One will pass on Arky.

[Okie35]

Virginia Tech is in the Sugar Bowl they took KSU's bid. KSU will be in the Cotton Bowl.

http://eye-on-collegefootball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/24156338/33688374

[yermom]

strange.

seems to add up though. i would think the Insight wouldn't end up without a Big 12 team

[sooner59]

Some ABC affiliate is reporting the Big 12 only got 1 team in the BCS....even though it had the best non-conference record since '96.

[Sooner95]

Yea that makes more sense..

Following is the Big 12's selection order:

BCS - Tostitos Fiesta - Pokes
AT&T Cotton (SEC) - KSU
Valero Alamo (Pac-10) - Baylor
Insight (Big Ten) - Oklahoma
Bridgepoint Holiday (Pac-10) - Texas
Texas (Big Ten) - A&M
New Era Pinstripe (Big East) - Iowa St

Independence - Mizzou

[yermom]

i can see VT over KSU as a name though

[8timechamps]

You're right, but the cotton does not get the first pick of SEC teams; and I doubt the Capital One will pass on Arky.

See, I don't know much about the picking order, so I can certainly see why the Capital One bowl (if picking before the Cotton Bowl) would take Arky. Guess my brain isn't as big as I thought....still pretty damn big though!

[C&CDean]

I'm hoping Cotton. My brother's company bid on a "Dallas sports package" at an auction during the Texas State Fair and we got tickets to a bunch of Mavs games, Stars games, Kaboy games, Ranger games, and the Cotton Bowl. Parking included, primo seats, etc. They got it and he called a minute ago to say "if they go to the Cotton, we're in like Flynn." Sweet.

[sooner59]

V. Tech to the Sugar means OU is likely going to the Insight. What a great season this turned out to be. Just special.

[nighttrain12]

Insight Bowl OU vs either Iowa or Nebbish...

Or hopefully against Penn State!

[Sooner95]

Yea, I'm going with OU vs Iowa in Insight. Book it.

[Sooner95]

Or hopefully against Penn State!


No, Penn st is going to Ticketcity Bowl vs Houston.

[8timechamps]

Maybe we can tear up the field so that OSU can't score.

[Sooner95]

Lock these down


Sugar - Va tech vs Mich
Fiesta - Osu vs Stanford

[sooner59]

Maybe we can tear up the field so that OSU can't score.

Not the same stadium.

[soonercastor]

V Tech in the Sugar bowl is a ****ing joke. 0-2 against ranked teams this year. Once again they prove this is a popularity contest and all about the $$$

[Sooner95]

V Tech in the Sugar bowl is a ****ing joke. 0-2 against ranked teams this year. Once again they prove this is a popularity contest and all about the $$$

I agree, we can hold out hope it's wrong, but it's sure not looking like it.

[Sooner5030]

I think KSU would bring more fans to the game.

not as good for the TV audience but I wonder how the bowl folks prioritize seats vs ratings.

They took Florida to have OSU FLORDIA. Urban Bowl.

[8timechamps]

Not the same stadium.

Really? I thought they both played at the U of Phoenix dome. So, I guess the Insight Bowl is at Sun Devil stadium?

[Sooner95]

Florida/Ohio st are in Gator

[revelladee]

Got it from a band member...Insight bowl

[Sooner95]

Capitol One, I'm thinking South Carolina vs Mich St..

[soonerboomer]

I believe Oklahoma will play Arkansas in the Cotton. If not the Cotton, then the Alamo Bowl.

[Sooner5030]

if KSU gets in BCS then cotton

if not then insight

i think

[Sooner95]

Bell Helicopter Armed Forces
BYU vs. Tulsa

[cantwait48]

I would like to see kstate in the bcs, they are fun to watch and would be mo money for the big12. ofcourse it would be a good matchup between them and arkansas

[Sooner5030]

geez....what is there like 3 bowl games in dallas?

[OU-HSV]

ESPN has started posting all the bowls on their website

[Sooner95]

This site has nearly all games set...

http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa/college-football-bowl-schedule.php

[sooner59]

Really? I thought they both played at the U of Phoenix dome. So, I guess the Insight Bowl is at Sun Devil stadium?

Insight Bowl is in Tempe at Sun Devil Stadium.

[colleyvillesooner]

Tony Jefferson tweeted "Iowa...Dang..." FWIW

[yermom]

Really? I thought they both played at the U of Phoenix dome. So, I guess the Insight Bowl is at Sun Devil stadium?

yep. i think they are governed by the same people, but the Insight is on ASU's campus in Tempe. i went when OSU played Indiana the year we got killed by WV in the Fiesta

$20 and the ticket got me into the block party in Tempe

[Lott's Bandana]

geez....what is there like 3 bowl games in dallas?


Iza thinkin that the TCU renovations moved the Helo Bowl over to D.

Just a ponder.

[Boomer.....]

Insight verses Iowa

Yuck!

What an amazingly disappointing season.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Geez what a crappy way to end the season

[BlownGP]

yaah.. Well should be a easy win right?

[StoopTroup]

This is where they are announcing them...

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6672862

[Sooner95]

Yea, not an exciting matchup..

[yermom]

i'm sure Bob isn't too happy with the thought of playing Iowa

[OU-HSV]

yaah.. Well should be a easy win right?
There are no guarantees. Seriously.

[Boomer.....]

At least we won't get our butts whipped like we would have against Arky.

[soonercastor]

Why do we think this will be an easy game? Should be a relatively low scoring affair.

[8timechamps]

yep. i think they are governed by the same people, but the Insight is on ASU's campus in Tempe. i went when OSU played Indiana the year we got killed by WV in the Fiesta

$20 and the ticket got me into the block party in Tempe

I confused myself. I was thinking about when I was at the Fiesta bowl (vs Boise) and they were doing all the advertising for the NCG that was the next week, and still had some leftover stuff from the Insight Bowl at the mall. For some reason, I had them all at the same location. I did drink a(lot) little that week.

[cantwait48]

if iowa can beat meatchicken they can for sure beat us

[marfacowboy]

I believe Oklahoma will play Arkansas in the Cotton. If not the Cotton, then the Alamo Bowl.

I hope this is how it works out. Would be a good game and well attended.

[Jacie]

They'll be all over the Bob Stoops vs. his alma mater.

Going to be kind of a bummer New Year's Day, no bowl games at all.

[8timechamps]

Why do we think this will be an easy game? Should be a relatively low scoring affair.

Not sure I would say easy. But, we should be able to take care of them. They did beat Michigan this year, but they also lost to Iowa State. Who knows.

[Sooner95]

[Jacie]

It could be argued that four of Iowa's L's were good losses:

Iowa State
Penn State
Michigan State
Nebraska

That loss to Minnesota is comparable to sand aggie beating OU . . .

Insight Bowl is in Tempe at Sun Devil Stadium.
I think the Insight Bowl was formerly known as the Copper Bowl and was played in Tucson, the site of Gibbs last game and Schnellenberger in the booth. When Insight became the sponsor the game was moved to Bank One Ballpark and then moved to Tempe after the Fiesta Bowl moved to UoP Stadium.


Iza thinkin that the TCU renovations moved the Helo Bowl over to D.

Just a ponder.
I believe that's akrit.....

[LRoss]

Apologies for the bad info on VTech, the cbssports.com bowl projection page had them in bold, which was supposed to mean that they'd accepted that bid. Obviously it was a mistake of some sort.

And yes, this sucks.

[LRoss]

Double post, obviously not my day on here.

[Sooner95]

Ah no biggie...I sit here with mutliple sites open and until i see it across several, I won't post it.

[Sooner95]

Oh and ESPN has been known to be extremely slow when updating the bowl teams. it's God complex..lol

BCS predictions

Great another night game...:subdued:

[SoonerMom2]

Does this mean that Boone is going to launch an investigation into the BCS since AL got in over OSU like he said last night?

[Sooner91ATL]

iowa versus us is even-steven matchup.

Anybody sez otherwise ain't been keepin up with current events.

[C&CDean]

Do we really need another bowl announcement thread?

[cobrapilot]

WTF Texas players are tweeting they are going to the Holiday Bowl??????

[Sooner95]

another?? I started this one 3 hours ago to follow the annoucements as they came out. If there are others, I did not see them.

[OUinFLA]

Do we really need another bowl announcement thread?
I would be for one that was accurate and unencumbered with all the prior speculation.

BTW, freakin UCLA @ 6-7 got a bowl bid to the Hunger bowl.. what a crock.

[C&CDean]

Yes you may. Carry on.

[StoopTroup]

Houston vs Penn State in "The Reach Around Bowl" Also know as the Ticket City Bowl

[ictsooner7]

My dreams have come true we got the INSIGHT BOWL, FOURTH DOWN ON THE LIST! YES! GIVE BIG GAME ANOTHER RAISE! OK BOYS WORK HARD ALL YEAR LONG NEXT YEAR AND WE CAN GO TO THE ALAMO BOWL, BEAT TECH, BEAT BAYLOR! YES! WE ARE FINALLY AN UP AND COMING PROGRAM!

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Insight Bowl OU vs either Iowa or Nebbish...Dayum, I'm glad we don't have to play Arkansas.

[soonercastor]

Haha V Tech in the Sugar.

[cobrapilot]

Hard for me to figure how you go from maybe playing in the fiesta Bowl to the insight bowl

[PDXsooner]

Call me crazy, but by the time the Insight comes around I'll not only watch it but I'll actually be excited for it...

[nighttrain12]

Wow, EIGHT Big 12 teams are playing in a bowl this post season.

And we lost to 1 of the 2 teams in the Big 12 who didn't get a bowl bid.

[Sooner5030]

I should have put this post on this thread rather than start a new one. mods please assist if you can.


I have a feeling the BCS will not get extended. We have an environment where the subjective part (2/3s) of BCS is starting to provide a feedback loop for the SEC. The idea that the SEC is tougher continues to provide it better opportunities which gives them the results that feed next year's "tougher" viewpoint.

It's a never ending cycle.

2+1 is not the answer either.

8 team playoff is not inclusive enough.

We need a 20+ team playoff. Get FOX and NBC more involved with CFB to mitigate the ABC/ESPN influence.

The problem is everyone has staggered TV contract deals. No way you can convince 3 leagues to cancel their deals early to consolidate into a college league.

I hope our conference will let FOX compete with ABC for our tier 1 in 2015. I wouldn't mind getting FOX/FX/FSN to counter ABC/ESPN.

[Okie35]

Call me crazy, but by the time the Insight comes around I'll not only watch it but I'll actually be excited for it...

I will be too. I mean we have problems but we have to win the game. I hope the team doesn't take on the mentality of the fans w/ their heads down. Sure I'm disappointed at the season but this has to be a bowl win. If we lost then I'd be really pissed.

[Sooner5030]

man....the Cotton bowl made out pretty well

two teams within close proximity that were eligible but were left out of a BCS game.

might be one of the better nonbcs games....hell might be better than the BCS games

[MeMyself&Me]

I hope our conference will let FOX compete with ABC for our tier 1 in 2015. I wouldn't mind getting FOX/FX/FSN to counter ABC/ESPN.

I'm hoping that we can get either Fox or NBC to treat the Big 12 the way that CBS treats the SEC. Either one has room to have one full conference to themselves.

[OU-HSV]

Hard for me to figure how you go from maybe playing in the fiesta Bowl to the insight bowl
It's real easy...you lose what was basically your chance at the Big 12 Championship, and the team that won the Big 12 Championship doesn't get into the BCS National Championship. so they get bumped to the fiesta. All this is solved if we had just beat texas tech, baylor and osu. That didn't seem like asking for too much at the beginning of the season, but my what a difference a few months of college football makes

[Okie35]

At least we don't play a 7-5 Washington.

[Sooner5030]

I'm hoping that we can get either Fox or NBC to treat the Big 12 the way that CBS treats the SEC. Either one has room to have one full conference to themselves.

I forgot the NBC also has VS. ABC/ESPN is too saturated with games and has too much influence with the games and the sports news combined.

[MeMyself&Me]

I forgot the NBC also has VS. ABC/ESPN is too saturated with games and has too much influence with the games and the sports news combined.

Yup. Praying that it's not going to be ABC again. It's the single biggest thing I'm hoping for regarding the future of the Big 12.

[BoulderSooner79]

At least we don't play a 7-5 Washington.

D*amn straight. We get to play 7-5 Iowa.

[Okie35]

D*amn straight. We get to play 7-5 Iowa.

Iowa is a better team. Washington isn't as good.

[Soonerus]

A "no win" game for OU...I will be really interested to see if we play hard...

[OU-HSV]

Iowa isn't going to be a pushover and don't think for a second that they won't be motivated for this game. It's a fairly familiar situation for OUr sooners, another bowl matchup against a team that has nothing to lose and wants to prove a lot.
Not to mention they have a RB who is legit. I followed his stats closely because he was one of my RBs on my college fantasy football team. He's had several games over 100 yds including several games with two tds.
I had to look their QBs stats up to see what we'll be dealing with. Looks like he's no slouch either. 2806 yds passing 28 tds 6 ints.
That said, sure the big 10 is weak, but I'm just saying what many of us already know...OU better go into this bowl game motivated and ready to play against a team who really wants to beat us.

Their QB isn't good but yes they have a decent back. They will play really physical if the team comes out soft it'll be a closer game than it should be. Rus it's not no win. If we win it'll be a 10 win season.

How does Mich St lose the Big 10 championship game and then finished lower that division rival Michigan, Michigan then goes to a BCS game and Michigan State plays Georgia in a non-BCS matchup. I thought the BCS games were supposed to be better teams. My head is spinning

Yeah I was just basing their QB not being a slouch on his stats alone. I'd be lying if I said I specifically remember watching him play at all. So if I have seen him play, no sparks must have been flying.
