Bowl news

[bulldawg28]

Not on December 17, interrupting our recruiting cycle and having less time to practice, which our offense needs.

Our offense isn't changing from our 5 plays.

[Coach34]

Yeah the Vegas Bowl being so early kills it for us.

I kinda liked the early date. Gets everything over with so we can be with family and friends for a normal Christmas/New Years gathering. Plus, you get to see all the other games on tv since we're not traveling.

ESPN just dropped the Frisco Bowl, (41 bowls before drop), as only 79 teams have reached 6 wins including New Mexico at 5-7, which was granted a waiver due to cancelling a game due to the death of a player. Buffalo can reach 6 wins if they defeat that 2-9 JoMo powerhouse, Akron, Sat.

I'll take Pitt all day long. I'd love to show the difference between SEC 8-4 vs ACC 8-4.

Me too!! And get that 9th win. That's all people seem to point out as time passes.

I don't know if Jerry Palm from CBS has any inside info, but he just updated his projections to us against Louisville in the Gator. I'd rather play another team than one we've played twice in bowls the last five years. I believe we'd blast the Linebeards into oblivion. He now has SCar playing FSU in Tampa, and Notre Dame going to the Cheeze-It vs Texas Tech. I don't see any of this happening. Brett McMurphy seems more tuned in. He said sources told him Missouri and Kansas will not play in the Liberty or any bowl. He has us in the Gator vs UNC. I can deal with that.

[Desoto1967]

Just saw Louisville will play in Fenway

[SpaceBully]

Why would Mizzou and Kansas not play in the Liberty Bowl or any bowl? Mizzou barely got eligible and should take anything they could get.

Pitt fans at my work are already thinking they are playing us in the Gator Bowl. They seem to think it’s a done deal with some people I know who work at Pitt. I wouldn’t mind playing them I just can’t get real excited about an 8-4 ACC team. Would rather play Purdue or Notre Dame or UCLA

Not pumped about Pitt, but would rather play them than Louisville. Best case scenario would be to play an overrated, big name team, but assuming that's not going to happen, the biggest thing is we just need to win. Be the first season we've really finished with any momentum since 2013.

[msudawg1200]

Looks about set. We are most likely going to get the loser of the ACC Championship game in the Gator. Please be Clemson. Please be Clemson. Please be Clemson.

Utah beating USC basically locked us in to the Tampa bowl.

[PikeDawg15]

Utah beating USC basically locked us in to the Tampa bowl.

Reliaquest?

[schddog72]

Reliaquest?

Used to be the Outback (aka screw Miss. State) Bowl.

[msudawg1200]

Utah beating USC basically locked us in to the Tampa bowl.

Pretty much. You can tear up all those projections from yesterday. Most likely Illinois.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I'm not convinced that extra practice means much. They've been practicing since spring and all during the season. What's a few more days?

Especially in these NIL days.

[msudawg1200]

Just saw where brent mcmurphy said that because USC lost

That somehow means that Notre Dame cannot go to the reliaquest bowl

That means there will have to be in either 2 bowls vs pac 12 teams or the gator bowl

That is correct. Ohio State will now go to a CFP bowl, and Tennessee will go to the Orange. If USC had won Ohio St was headed to the Orange which under the terms of the contract would put an ACC team in the ReliaQuest to replace the Big 10 team. That looked to be the case until USC lost. Now, it's a Big 10 team again. Notre Dame is in the ACC Bowl rotation, so they can go to the Gator, Cheez-It, Holiday, or Mayo. Last night loss by USC changed a bunch of bowls projected teams.

Rumors are flying that we about to get screwed on our Bowl destination. Bigger Bowls don?t want us because our fans don?t buy tickets and travel. SEC not fighting for us because we don?t have a true AD negotiating.

Whether you gambling degenerates care or not, The Las Vegas Bowl is a slap in our face and has our coaches and players and recruiting staff in Las Vegas a weekend before signing day.

The worst possible outcome for State with Ole Miss possibly getting Notre Dame in Jacksonville.
