Time to wake up now, ro. Sounds like you had a good nap. (Although, Purdue is just the kind of team that could beat Michigan on a given day)
What bowl for PSU, info and speculation thread
- Thread starter Aquapong
- Start date
Well happy belated birthday.They won’t play on Jan 1 due to the NFL (it’s a Sunday).
Plus, one of PSU’s greatest victories happened on Jan 2. In 1987 against Miami in the Fiesta Bowl - which also happened to be may 22nd Birthday.
Agreed. Also, lets say USC wins. A K State win over TCU will put OSU in the playoffs and PSU in the Rose.
Plan on cheering a day earlier for Utah. game is Friday at 8.
The highest ranked G5 teams goes. Period. There’s always at least one G5 in the NY6 bowls each year. If there’s no G5 in the top 25, the committee keeps ranking until the highest G5 is reached.
Unless there is a deal behind closed doors for the Buckeyes to goto the Orange since they haven’t been there in quite some time which would open up the Rose Bowl, PSU is heading to the NY6 Cotton to play the Tulane / CFU winner. There are no other options on the table. Now if there is chaos next weekend, it will make the selection show more interesting. Maybe Utah could get USC , never know about TCU and big 12 but Georgia, Michigan aren’t losing.
Yeah, you're right. The first TCU-KState matchup was a competitive game. Nobody knows which group of 18-25 year olds is going to show up, but on paper this is no Gimme for TCU.
One of Canton McKinley's finest. Also a pretty good basketball player.
You must be a lot of fun at Roman orgies.I'm not sure we would jump Michigan no matter how much they lose by
If Utah beats USC twice, what would make them a “meh” opponent??
Uh, how much fun are you at Roman org .... nah, I don't wanna know.
He's so super awesome, and you're so acquainted with him, that you don't even know his name.
Good job, troll.
I quickly recognized my auto-spell error and corrected it.
Thanks for stalking me
I’d normally consider it a compliment, but I’m actually concerned because you exhibit mental derangement.
I’m not a Bowl expert but the 3rd option which has PSU playing a very tough game against LSU makes the most sense to me. A win here could bear some fruit on the recruiting front and maybe start the conversation of a third National Championship. With that said, I’m not so sure the Penn State AD would pass up on a Rose Bowl game against Washington. To me the worst option is the game against Tulane.SI’s Wogenrich lays out Penn State bowl scenarios; says Cotton most likely but Rose could opt for PSU over OSU if it wanted.

After the playoffs, I believe PSU vs. LSU will get tremendous attention. A win here could put the program back in the NC conversation.LSU doesn’t deserve to play us. Isn’t that how it works?
If we end up here at the Cotton Bowl again playing a Div 1-AA team I am going to be really pissed.
playing a low ranked team from the G5 in the Cotton would not be perceived as a NY6 game and be worse if we lost. games like that get opt outs, and also a max effort by the underdog. That is a no-win. we need to win in a hammer job to just maintain credibility.
You’re not wrong. I am often disappointed by what other people consider to be “good”. But you seem to be implying I should lower my standards. Hard pass.You must frequently be disappointed in life. I won’t even get into what I think about Star Wars.
You’re confusing “whining” with “analytical”. It’s cool if you choose not to look at things too closely so long as you’re aware that the inability to distinguish “greatness” from “mediocrity” is a poor flex.
"Them excuses"? English is not your friend. Spend more time working on the quality of your posts, and less time worrying about the lack of perfection in what others produce, while you have produced nothing.
What's "analytical" about noticing that we'd be better if we lost fewer games? Genius! You think demanding better of others while sitting there watching the same games we're watching somehow makes you better?
It's like sitting down at a restaurant for a nice meal with a large group. Everyone's chit-chatting, having a good time. The food's good, but not the greatest, but everyone's enjoying themselves. Everyone, that is, but some douche who insists on criticizing every aspect of the food and service, telling everyone - loudly - about how he had this great meal at Cafe Whogivesaphuck, and how that would blow this meal out of the water. Then Sir Douchealot takes it upon himself to stop the waiter and loudly proclaim to him just how unsatisfactory everything is, and how he demands perfection .. except he actually says he demands "prefection" and everyone knows the food at Cafe Whogivesaphuck is boiled in cat piss and tastes like it just came out of the sewer.

Yeah, but before PSU played Miami in that game, no one paid much attention to the Fiesta Bowl.
WRT your issues on the 2nd, aren't all the bowl games (this year) being played on Jan 2 and not Jan 1?

yet, when I read the pundits talk about PSU getting a NY6 bowl, they mention it would be Franklin’s 4th. So they do perceive the Cotton as a NY6.
Of course it is....and every few years, it's one of the playoff bowls. Because that is how the rotation is set up.
