    I would love the Holiday Bowl against a team we can beat.

    This team is probably legitimately the #15 team in the country. With better talent at WR, OL and OLB, a decent OC and a good QB - we are probably top 5.

    Ultimately, what's good for the program is for us to get a lot of visibility in SoCal for a week and get a nice win. Sad that we boned the season on a dumb fuck bunch of shit at the Farm, but ultimately it's going well under Pete.

    This offseason will determine how we go forward.

    CHRIST.

    SoCal won't give a shit about this dreck.

    Pretty sure that the Alamo Bowl is the 1st choice for the conference after the Group of 6 Bowls or whatever the hell they are called ... the winner on Saturday will be going there ... although there's an outside chance I could see us in the Cotton Bowl if we beat the Cougs.

    Correct

    I see the Holiday and Alamo as equal, middle tier yawn bowls, but it would be nice to get more exposure in Tejas.

    I don't get how the group of six even works now since it changes every two years, but somehow getting an at large to the Cotton would sort of salvage the season a little. It seems like a long shot without many quality wins, but they probably like the way we travel and the fact Suckattle-Tacoma is the 12th biggest media market.

    PAC 12 always loses the holiday bowl because it's a let down game

    I don't think travelability plays into getting selected for the New Years 6 bowls anymore.

    It's your conference's contracts for guarantees, and then once those are taken they take teams ranked by the CFP in order until they have 12 teams (4 for the playoff and 8 for the other bowls). Then they figure out the best matchups and locations.

    We were 18th and Ok St lost in front of us. Cuog is in front of us. That can get us to 16, so still need a bunch teams in the 6-18 CFB rankings to lose.

    This will make up for the times we got bids to the Holiday and Alamo bowls under Sark because we got pulled up by Stanford and Oregon making BCS bowls.
