My bad…. I should have started this thread, “In the old days, what bowl would an 11-2 Big Ten runner-up made?”

Whatever bowl was hosting a semifinal.
that is the correct answer. The same CFP committee that has been doing it for 4 teams took the 12 team playoff. We were ranked #4, so would have been in semifinal vs Oregon. Not sure what bowl that would have been - maybe Rose. tOSU would not be in the playoff.

I’ve seen sillier questions. I am also a Metallica fan and on their message board someone asked, What do you think the guys listen to in their free time?

Message board questions…go figure. 🤣🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

What the heck, we are not trying to cure cancer on this board, and discussing this question is more desirable than yet another rehash of whether Big Game James is worthy of PSU
To be clear, I responded to the OP's EXACT wording.

He said "if there was no CFP?"
He didn't say "what if the CFP only took 4 teams this year?"
The 4 team playoff has been called the CFP since the 2014 -15 season, so I presumed that he meant exactly what he said - "no CFP".

So, if there isn't a CFP ... it's is impossible to determine how bowl matchups would look.

Merry Christmas to all.
