Sounds good if true.

[Bull Matrix]

Awesome if that does happen. I am glad that BC beat Clemson because it pretty much helps our chances at getting a match up with Clemson. Clemson has a much stronger fan base than BC, so the bowl game will be an exciting event if that does happen.

CFN'S picks are some of the worst out here usually. They have Michigan in the Cap One, which released Michigan from their list of possible Big 10 teams last night...

doesnt seem right

I'd love the Gator Bowl also.

Let's say #1 and #2 are LSU and Kansas.

The next Big 12 team would head to the Fiesta Bowl (either Mizz, Oklahoma or Texas). Come time for the Gator Bowl selection, They have the option of picking Texas Tech, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, or Texas A&M.

Of those, the only school that I would think represents a true power is Nebraska (they have fans everywhere) it would be hard to believe that any of the remaining choices represents a greater attraction than USF especially if we are ranked.

I know the typical argument is the Bowl game wants schools from out of state who will spend money here. Not sure why though. Isn't the bowl more worried about filling seats? Aren't those other concerns mostly for city councilmen?

interesting that they have ECU returning to the PJC Bowl

I agree Mike.  Don't see it happening.

Nebraska would be 6-6 and the Gator Bowl could not select them.

The Gator's Big 12 choice will only be Texas Tech.  At 8-4 they have to be selected before any of the 6-6 teams (Nebraska/Colorado winner, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, or maybe Kansas State).

Unless A&M or Ok State pull the upset this week against Texas and Oklahoma respectively.
