I wouldn't let shedeur play. Their DL would end him
How are the churros?

I don't think before I post
Yes, sorry this year they are very good. Overall, I wouldn't call them the upper class of the SEC.
Won’t matter. Stars will align with CU making B12CG and ultimately winning and making the playoff
Oregon is in the playoffs for certain.
It seems the Alamo is the most likely outcome, but I’m really pulling for the Holiday Bowl as I’ll already be in San Diego. And does anyone want to play another B12 game?
Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, Colorado, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Utah, and Washington will all be eligible for these bowls.
- Holiday Bowl vs ACC
- LA Bowl vs Mountain West
- Las Vegas Bowl vs SEC
- Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl vs Big 12
- Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl vs ACC
- Valero Alamo Bowl vs Big 12
Alamo Bowl gets first choice. Oregon is going to the playoffs. Perhaps ASU too, if they defeat Iowa State.
That leaves Colorado, 6-6 USC, and 6-6 Washington as options, along with Washington State.
I just don’t see much of a scenario where Colorado isn’t selected by the Alamo Bowl.

Only scenario is Iowa State winning the B12 and A$U getting the nod…
And don't forget to arrange a ride home!

If ASU loses to ISU, perhaps they would get sent to the Alamo Bowl, which would bump us down to the Holiday Bowl? I agree the Alamo looks most likely, though.
EDIT: Looks like Manhattan had the same thought.

Facepalm.
I looked it up and in the same hotel as last time plus flights was $1400 for my family. This might be doable for me
Anyone think either ISU or ASU makes any noise at all in the CFP?
I think they will. They will make whatever noise a speedbump makes.

Someone clear this up for me.
Last I checked, the legacy PAC teams are still playing under PAC bowl affiliations. The Alamo Bowl is a PAC vs Big XII matchup. Thus if ISU loses the Big XII championship, they go to Alamo and face USC or Washington.
If ISU wins the Big XII, ASU goes to Alamo as PAC rep to face a legacy Big XII team.
Our chance at Alamo is thus obviously that ASU wins the Big XII, we go to Alamo as PAC rep, and we end up playing ISU or BYU.
What am I doing wrong?
Why would ISU go to the Alamo bowl and play USC or Washington when CU is ahead of both from the legacy PAC 12?
You’re not posting awesome wildlife photos for us to enjoy?
Fairly certain that the Alamo Bowl, if free to pick any legacy Pac teams of its choosing, would pick us, given that Oregon is going to the CFP regardless of their game next Saturday. Even if ASU was available, we'd both be 3 loss teams.
I'm rooting for ISU next week both because **** Sparky and because I don't want ISU to be available as a potential opponent.
We will go to the Alamo Bowl because Prime knows that we have solid fan support from Colorado-Texas-Georgia type of regions and thus San Antonio is convenient.
I could see us playing Iowa State if they lose in the CCG, or BYU, teams we have not played. ASU if they lose the CCG would be good fit for the Holiday
Alamo Bowl odds are about 90%

Where did you get this from? Seems random.
I've been vocal about my desire to play BYU in the CCG, I guess doing it in the Alamo Bowl would be a decent consolation prize.
I stopped looking at social media about Prime saying everyone is going to play. It's crazy how everyone who was bitching last year about how nobody plays in bowl games thinks it's the most irresponsible thing ever.
Pretty sure at this point, Prime could come out and say the sky is blue, and college football social media would go crazy picking out all the other colors the sky could be, because by no means could they say Prime was right about anything.

Alamo can choose any bowl eligible team from either conference and they have the #1 choice.
Looking at the ratings. BYU and Iowa State will be a tough choice
Any chance with all the SEC going to the playoffs that their tie ins won’t be filled and we can slide into a Gator or Outback bowl or some ****…you know, with Deion and whatnot?
