@mayjay Phoenix is not even known as a big venue for boxing.

I meant will they think twice about giving ksu a better bowl than us considering they are losing quality players and maybe lack a great fan crowd.
Pop Tarts Bowl officials have been at a lot of recent KSU games so that seems like the most likely scenario for them. The conference title games could also impact the Big 12 as Texas still has a shot at the CFP and OU is still in play for a NY6 Bowl which could impact KU and bump us up to the Texas Bowl.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 The Texas Bowl would be in your city correct?
-
So which record carries the most weight, overall wins/losses or conference record? Using overall KUās 8-4 record puts us in a tie for 3rd with KST and WV. But, conference record of 5-4 puts us in a tie for 7th with Tx Tech. Weāll know Sunday for sure. Why doesnāt the NCAA make a big deal out of the announcements like the NCAA tournament? I guess the individual bowls want to make the announcements to their schools as soon as possible so thereās no control over the information getting out.
-
So what happens if Bama beats Georgia?
-
@kjayhawks Texas has to be the choice right? 1 loss champ and has the head to head over Bama.
Things get really nuts if FSU loses
-
@FarmerJayhawk yes it does, obviously Washington is locked in being #3 and winning the conference. But yes if FSU, Georgia and/or Michigan lose. It becomes a total guess

NCAA doesnāt hype it because they donāt make money from it. A majority of the bowls are actually operated by ESPN so they have original content to air this time of year.
Conference record is typically what carries more weight, but thatās not the only factor determining who plays in which bowl game. Each bowl game is given a spot in the priority order and when itās that bowl gameās time to choose, they can choose any eligible team from that conference, but the bowls mostly do follow the order of finish in the conference when selecting.
For example, Kentuckyās record has them slotted into the Music City Bowl this year, but theyāve played there a bunch in recent years and basically told the SEC that they want to play in a different bowl game this year. KUās record would have them slotted into the Liberty Bowl again this year, but some bowls try to avoid bringing teams back in consecutive years.
Is KU a more attractive team than WVU this year? Maybe, but the team thatās consistently been projected to the Texas Bowl in recent weeks is Texas A&M which is the team that bowl cares more about landing because College Station is about a 90 minute drive from Houston and will be the ticket seller for the game since Houston is the largest A&M alumni base. Because of that, they wonāt really care who the Big 12 is and will likely take whoever the highest finishing B12 team left is when itās their turn to choose if they land A&M.

In that scenario, Washington, Texas, and Alabama would be in and it would likely ve Georgia that gets that 4th spot.
At this point, without Jordan Travis, Iām think FSU may have to blow out Louisville to keep the 4th seed and a close win may drop them below Texas at this point with how dominant Texas was today.
-
Watching this Bama game KU has better QBs, plural than both the tide and dogs. Never thought that would happen.
-
So we find out tomorrow where w land? - - anyone know what time we will find out ?
-
If FSU wins they have to be in. If Bama wins , you canāt put them in and NOT Texas. They would have the same record , both conference champs, but Texas obviously Beat Bama at Bama by 10.
-

Playoff selection show is on at 11am tomorrow on ESPN and will be on until 2pm so sometime between then.

Losing Jordan Travis matters and an ugly win tonight wonāt help FSUās cause because they arenāt a better team than Texas without Travis.

Thatās never really mattered though. Itās never the 4 ābestā teams. If FSU goes 13-0 they deserve to be in.

Oh, ok , thank you , appreciate that. - -So will they be announcing all bowls or just the really big oneās ? ā never mind being on that long probably most of them huh

Available players was a criteria and FSU missing Jordan Travis mattered as it should have. Someone was going to be screwed over and FSU without Jordan Travis has not looked like a playoff team against an average Florida team and an average Louisville team.
-
Playoffs are set 1.Michigan 2. Washington 3. Texas 4. Alabama. I agree with @Texas-Hawk-10 FSU is likely from the weakest conference and down to its 3rd string QB. Any of these 4 teams selected spank them IMO.
-
Saw Jerry Palm/CBS Bowl projections : - he has KU vs California in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport.
8 Big 12 teams in bowl : - -Liberty ā ISY/Memph - -Alamo Bowl ā Okla/Ariz - -Pop Tarts - --Okie St/ND - -Texas Bowl - - K/State/Texas A& M
Guaranteed Rate ā WV/Minn - -Armed Forces - -Texas Tech/Troy - --Cure Bowl - -UCF/Ark St
Thatās CBS- w shall see
-
So do we get a break against ksu and TT w/out our second string qb? Just being snotty!

The Guaranteed Rate Bowl website already mentions WV and Minn.

Does anyone watch the early bowls, like the Independence Bowl on Dec 16?
-
Depends on work, time and teams. I try to watch big 12.

ya CBS saying the same thing
-
247 sports final projection Bowl has KU - / Minnesota in the Guaranteed Rate bowl - -& Tech in the Independence Bowl
-
Independence Bowl would be so disappointing as thatās the lowest ranked bowl game in priority for the Big 12.
-
Hoping for Pop Tarts or Texas. I think we have a decent chance of that if OU goes to a NY6 and OSU goes to Alamo

KSU is locked into the Pop-Tarts Bowl and OU isnāt getting a NY6 game unfortunately.
-
Probably GR then. At least weāll more than likely be 9-4

Liberty over SMU is a joke. Oregon is going to do things only Jerry Falwell would be into to them

Rough day for the ACC. Alabama gets picked over FSU because they are the perceived better team, but Liberty gets picked over SMU because reasons.
-
Liberty also has a terrible SOS
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Bowl game tracker:

I also donāt feel like any G5 team deserved a spot this year in a NY6 game, but Iām fine with an undefeated Liberty getting in over 2 loss SMU when one of those 2 losses was an uncompetitive loss to a non bowl eligible TCU team.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich yep literally the worst. 133/133. Oh well.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Iām excited to see Liberty & Oregon.
Iāve never seen a football team score 100 before.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich I personally think the ACC is the worst of the power 5 conferences by a wide margin
-
We should be locked into Phoenix
-
OU gets the Alamo bowl vs Arizona, not good for us smh
-
@kjayhawks said in Bowl game tracker:

Think they had a winning record against the SEC this year
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich I wouldnāt flinch playing any team in that conference . Guess will find if they get spanked in most their bowls.
-
Bowls arenāt as good of an indicator as early season non-con games imo. Too many players sit out bowl games, or team doesnāt care etc

UNLV

Gonna be a shootout. Actually would like to hire their OC

Also a little weird because we play them in week 2 next year
-
@FarmerJayhawk Ya, I also donāt like playing a G5 team after 8 wins in a power 5 conference. But we are KU in happy to play in a bowl and hopefully win one.

Yeah unfortunately it is. Iāve seen good teams just come out not caring because they barely missed the playoff etc

NO SEC Bowl
ChicagoBearsBowl. Good news is you get to play the Bears!
La Paz Bowl. Elevation over 11,000 feet!
Dead Sea Bowl -1500 feet
Grand Canyon Bowl. thereās a peninsula of land jutting out into the canyon thatās 60 yards wide somewhere. That will teach these softies who avoid contact by running out of bounds.
Serengeti Bowl. Right in the middle of the wildebeest migration, with Lions and Hyenas and mating rhinos too.
Jan 6th Bowl. Donāt like the result of the game, claim it was stolen! (sorry if that steps on some toes)
