Whelp, no shot at the Outback. Pack your bags for Memphis possibly Nashville.

I think SC would bring a bigger crowd.

The guy's quote was basically picking between them, SC is not a far drive but A&M has the largest alumni in the SEC.

I want to play an interesting opponent more than I care about what bowl we're in. Playing Northwestern would suck, it sucked last time we played them. They play in a horrible division, and according to S&P+, were incredibly lucky to win their horrible division.

Playing Pitt would suck too.

In order for my interest vs opp that I've actually heard or seen listed as a possibility, regardless of location.

Penn State
Mich state
Wisconsin
Iowa
Miami


Iowa State
Oklahoma state
Northwestern
Pitt





Ga Tech

Is that who's being projected to the Music City? God, everything I just said about Northwestern can just be replaced with Pitt except that we haven't played them in recent memory.

I see Belk Bowl for USCe. They could draw a decent crowd there.

They wouldn not. A&M would not pick them over the Outback though, and the Outback would not pick USC over ATM either. It is like Tinder dating, both of them have to want the other for a match. A&M is not matching with the gator bowl (a soft 6) when the Outback bowl (a firm 7) is available.

They may feel the same about the Houston Bowl as we do the Liberty. Hell..there are more A&M alums in Houston than anywhere else, including College Station.

Well then the playoff committee should rank them ahead of us. But since they are not, then the CFP must think we are better than them. So I figure we deserve the better bowl.

Would actually be surprised if Northwestern is in the Outback. Big Ten has a rule for its bowl tie-ins of five different teams in six years if possible, and NW just went there three years ago.

We had the talent to beat ky; uf & LSU but shit the bed instead.

After the NY6, when selecting the pool of 6 bowls, CFP rankings doesn’t have to have a big bearing. For the SEC the league standings, school and bowl requests (each make 3 requests of where to go or what team they want), location, prior selection (both the Gator and Us have scratched the other off this year because of being there so much), etc weigh just as much or more than the rankings. Jumping over a team 2 spots ahead of you in the standings was going to be an issue. Can’t think of that happening since they have gone to this new format. But we also have to wait to everything shakes out over the weekend. What happens if we have upsets and it drops LSU down to the Citrus (they are the only one who has direct pick of who they get)? And agree or disagree, the Pool of 6 is suppose considered equal bowls and that’s what the league is going to tell fans (of all of the schools that think they got screwed). Music City I think is in lead over Liberty right now.

If the situations were reversed, who do you think the Outback takes? They still take A&M. That means we are getting screwed time and time again by the same bowl.

Wish we'd have some our shit fans stand for something instead of consistently rolling over like a lap dog.

What exactly are you doing to "stand for something"? Taking it to a MSU message board? Hahaha, get a grip.

All you are doing is bitching at other MSU fans. You talk so much like you are going door to door or something. You would be laughed out of the door if you actually had the opportunity to present a case to some one that actually mattered with all of this.

No doubt.

Did Bo say that the Chairman of the Gator Bowl say on radio yesterday that Miss State will be in the Outback Bowl playing either North Western or Penn State? Guy here at my work heard it.

That was where I got the quote about A&M and SC. It was a tweet by an A&M fan so they could have left out the part about us. I didn't actually hear the interview.

I have heard for the past week from several different sources that we are headed to Outback for Penn st. Matchup. They want it bad. Now, all that could change and you have to understand that these bowl reps have to court several different schools and the SEC. No bowl rep is going to say “we only want this certain team”. So all of this “we are hearing this bowl likes that team” and “this team has been told they are headed here” is all just part of the wheeling and dealing. End of the day I would love to go to the Outback Bowl for a Penn St matchup. It would be really interesting. But I’m also fine with the Music City if it comes to that. Six/half-a-dozen as they say.
