Alamo picks sound good. Pass on the rest. Of course a NY6 would be great

If us and Texas both win I almost don’t see how we’re not in NY6. If we win Big 12 then obviously we’re in one but if Texas beats us I don’t see how a 1 loss Big 12 champion Texas with a win over Bama gets left out of CFP. And if they go to CFP we go to NY6

If we win the Conf, we’ll NY6.
If we lose to Texas is there anything stopping them from taking a 10-2 OU over a 9-4 OState?

I hope you are right, but I could see (assuming we lose to Texas) getting jumped by a 10-2 OU team if we finish 9-4. Yes we beat them and yes we played in the championship game but with no automatic bid, its just up to the bowls at that point and we are likely ranked well below OU at that point also.

Its not unlike the year Kansas only lost to Missouri, did not appear in the Big12 Championship but played in the Orange Bowl.

So, the only cure is beat BYU and win the Big 12. Fiesta here we come!

According to this, it doesn’t sound like there’s anything stopping them from taking a 10-2 OU over us if we lose to Texas:

Big 12 Bowl Partners
Once the CFP has filled its bowl slots, Big 12 bowl partners will make selections from the remaining Conference teams. Following is the order of selection. A bowl may pick from any available teams with .500 or better records when it reaches its spot in the selection order. After the placement of those teams, slots will be filled from among the pool of remaining teams.

Allstate Sugar/ CFP At-Large
Valero Alamo
Pop-Tarts
TaxAct Texas
AutoZone Liberty
Guaranteed Rate
Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl*/SERVPRO First Responder Bowl*
Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl

Gotcha, I thought if you finished second and the first team place went to the playoffs then the second place team was placed in NY6 based off of conference allotments. Looks like I am wrong and they can choose whoever.

So if we beat Texas we get the Sugar Bowl? Am I reading this correctly?

I guess my prediction is that if we don’t beat Texas, which is the likely outcome, then our bowl won’t be all that great. This is based on Texas not making the CFP, again likely, and taking the NY6 slot. OU will get picked over us for sure so our best case is getting picked 3rd for whatever bowl that is.

That’s correct. If we lose they’ll most likely put OU in the Sugar Bowl. Here’s the explanation:

“ Big 12 Bowl Partners
Once the CFP has filled its bowl slots, Big 12 bowl partners will make selections from the remaining Conference teams. Following is the order of selection. A bowl may pick from any available teams with .500 or better records when it reaches its spot in the selection order. After the placement of those teams, slots will be filled from among the pool of remaining teams.”

If we lose I think we’ll end up in the Alamo Bowl.

Cotton the sugar is a semifinalist this year.

Only way we get the Alamo bowl is if texas and ou get big 6. This could happen. I doubt texas gets a cfp spot.
