Bowl Projections for Oregon & Pac-12
That would help us move up a slot in bowl pecking order. I mainly just want holiday bowl and San Diego and not El Paso or Vegas.

Re: Will wazzu get a New Years 6 game?
It would also help for UCLA to beat Stanford tomorrow.

Re: Will wazzu get a New Years 6 game?
It's hard to say. Georgia would almost certainly be a lock, even with a loss to Alabama. There's the Group of 5 guaranteed slot. Michigan will almost certainly be in, even with a loss to Ohio State or in the Big-10 CG. Oklahoma, regardless of their awful defense, would almost be a lock even with a 2nd loss to Texas in the Big-12 CG. In addition, a win by Texas over OU in the Big-12 CG would rob another deserving team of a premier Bowl game slot. Of course, Ohio State will almost certainly get a spot as well, even if they lose to Michigan or in the Big-12 CG, because they'd still only be a 2 loss team and their fans travel very well. That will be a big factor for all Bowls. They've gotta' sell their tickets.lukeyrid13 wrote:That would help us move up a slot in bowl pecking order.

There'll likely be a couple teams that get left out. I'd still think that WSU would be in high consideration for the Fiesta Bowl, but we'll have to wait and see how things play out. If they don't get into a major Bowl, a WSU vs Oklahoma, Texas or West Virginia in the Alamo Bowl could be one of the best matchups of the postseason.

Re: Will wazzu get a New Years 6 game?
Thanks for the well thought out response.
I looked a bit last night, and I think we likely end up in the holiday or Redbox bowl against a big ten team. I’d like to see penn state but I think they end up in the gator bowl. So, it would most likely be: Wisconsin, Iowa or northwestern. Not great but not terrible.

Re: Will wazzu get a New Years 6 game?
Honestly, as much as I'd like to see us in the best matchup possible, there's another part of me that would prefer an easier game, even if it means dropping a notch. The 8 win season is an improvement over the last couple years. Still, I'd much rather get that 9th win in a lesser Bowl than get a difficult matchup.lukeyrid13 wrote:Thanks for the well thought out response.

Don't get me wrong. I almost always want us to get the best Bowl we can, but at this juncture I really think that 9th win would make a difference as far as recruiting, as well as a separation from the perception of mediocrity, 8-5, vs respectable, 9-4. I hope that makes sense? I'd much rather play Duke in the Sun Bowl than Penn State in the Holiday.

Re: Will wazzu get a New Years 6 game?
I agree. A W in the Bowl game will be huge whoever the opponent is, which game, not so important. 9-4 does LOOK a lot better than 8-5.SuperDuck wrote:Honestly, as much as I'd like to see us in the best matchup possible, there's another part of me that would prefer an easier game, even if it means dropping a notch.

If Herbert can’t go, definitely would wish for a lesser bowl. Off topic, wonder if Mitchell sits the bowl, and if he is even entertaining coming back after his no-show in the Civil War.

Looks like the general consensus is that Oregon will wind up playing in CA on NYE, with the specific city and bowl still unknown.

New Years Eve, 7pm? Are they trying to reduce viewership?

Re: Bowl Projections for Oregon & Pac-12
The bowl projections are trending towards Holiday, with a chance of Redbox.
Potential opponents include: Iowa, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Minnesota.
I'd love to see Northwestern, but Iowa or Wisconsin aren't too bad of a choice either.

Re: Bowl Projections for Oregon & Pac-12
I gather that these predictions are based on WSU getting an open bid from the Peach Bowl or other New Year's bowl. If they don't, it seems like Oregon would be in line behind Stanford and get the Sun bowl, right? So the Holiday Bowl is a hope rather than an expectation?

Even if Wazzu doesn't get a NY6 bowl invitation, the Holiday Bowl scenarios are, as far as I could figure it out:Phalanx wrote:I gather that these predictions are based on WSU getting an open bid from the Peach Bowl or other New Year's bowl.

* Washington loses to Utah. Wazzu gets the Alamo bowl (they've played in the past two Holiday Bowls) and Washington would be slotted to the Holiday Bowl
* If Washington wins, and Stanford wins, then the Holiday Bowl can choose from between: Utah, Stanford, Arizona State, Oregon. If Stanford loses to Cal then they can choose from among those team and Cal.
The Redbox Bowl, formerly the Foster Farms bowl, is also a possibility - although they may prefer a Bay Area team. The Sun or the Cheez-It Bowl in Phoenix are possibilities. I'd bet on Holiday if they have the option of taking us, but yeah it's more of a hope than an expectation.
