What bowl will Texas wind up in?

[charlesrixey]

Haven't heard anything, but then i have been in New Mexico for the past week, having some fun at an AF Base.

What's the verdict?

[Old Tiger]

Most likely Gator bowl but if not that one then the Alamo/Cotton

[charlesrixey]

any word on potential opponents?

really wish we had made it to the fiesta bowl so we could dominate boise state. I have a buddy from Boise and he loves to talk the broncos up. I like them, but if it would shut him up.....

[Old Tiger]

Gator Bowl
Texas vs. Clemson/Maryland

Cotton Bowl
Texas vs. SEC team

Alamo
Texas vs. Big 10 team probably

[mwynn05]

It wont be the Cotton Bowl according to my sources

[Old Tiger]

Your right. The loser of the Big 12 championship will get the Cotton bowl. I forgot about that.

[Txbroadcaster]

Iowa is almost a 100% invite to the Alamo..So that would be Texas opponent there

Cotton has pretty much said they are taken loser of Nebraska vs Oklahoma UNLESS Gator bowl takes OU, and until everything happened Gator was in LOVE with OU and they have the option to take a Big 12 team over other bowls for this year.

I still think it breaks down like this as far as chances

Alamo 60%
Gator 30%
Cotton 10%

[SintonFan_inAustin]

has texas ever played in the alamo bowl?

[Adidas410s]

the only wayTexas ends up in the Cotton Bowl would be if Arkansas somehow fell past the Outback Bowl (highly unlikely)and Cotton could take them. Otherwise it will be the loser of Nebraska/OU. If it's the Gator Bowl then they'll play Georgia Tech (if they lose the ACC championship game) or Virginia Tech if (Ga Tech wins the ACC championship game). If the Gator doesn't take a Big 12 team then they will fall to the Alamo Bowl and play Iowa.

The Cotton gets to choose their Big 12 team before the Gator Bowl so they have 1st shot at the loser of OU/Nebraska.

Iowa has already accepted the Alamo Bowl bid a few days ago. If Texas falls to the Alamo against a 6-6 team, then all heck will break loose.

[charlesrixey]

I would rather see them play an ACC team over Iowa. Iowa wouldn't be very exciting other than having Drew Tate come home.

Not if Gator uses 1-time exemption they have every 4 years to jump the Cotton. Gator has to take a Big 12 team 2/4 years too.

LOL:hand: :doh: :nerd: and your gonna call it her present?:D

[charlesrixey]

i agree with broadcaster on this one---how much would it hurt to lose to a 6-6 Iowa in a bowl game in Texas?:(

[SintonFan]

After that K-State game I'd say Texas can play in the Toilet Bowl.:twitch: :weeping:

[Who-dun-it!!?]

Toilet Bowl?

That would be 2 ugly shades of orange going at it, & impossible. Alamo has already asked Iowa & they accepted.

Cannot happen in Alamo Bowl.

That would more than sting, for sure.

Iowa is avg. team but if Drew Tate got hot it could happen. Remember LSU Bowl game 2 years ago? Iowa upset LSU on last second pass to win.

I'm hoping you meant to say if Tate got hot it could happen lol.

If we go to the Alamo, I, along with several Longhorns, won't be that upset. I've spent so much money the last two years going to Pasadena. Hitting San Antonio would cost me 50 bucks, tops. Also, I could see us beating an average Iowa team pretty good, setting up a boost in team morale for next season.

But from what I'm hearing, UT is the choice should the Gator Bowl want to go with a Big 12 team. I think if WV wins, they are heading to the Gator. But if Rutgers wins, Gator will take Texas. CBS really wants the Gator to take Texas so it will increase TV ratings.

Misworded that my bad. You know what I meant! Upset could happen if Drew Tate got hot like against LSU 2 years ago. Texas has had pass defense problems all year big-time.

[stxfootballfan]

Gator Bowl said they are waiting till sunday to make their pick

I hear you about the money, but don't spin it like you are happy & content to be playing in the struggling Alamo Bowl against an avg. Big 10 team that is 6-6.

WVU wins this weekend too IMO.

I'd be happy if Texas went to the Alamo Bowl. I'd be there and rooting for them to win. The after game party at my house would kick ash.:cool:

Texas vs. Va.Tech that would be a great game! Va Tech is hot right now and a win against them would be great for Texas and they could end the season on a good note!

[Bulldog_12]

From what I have been hearing, the Gator Bowl looks to take texas if clemson is the one representing the ACC in the bowl. They really are pushing for a Clemson/texas matchup. If clemson doesnt make it, then expect texas to play in san antonio.

How do you know how I feel?

If we play in the Alamo Bowl, I'll feel fine. I'll be there supporting my team. Doesn't make me any more mad or less happy. Why would it?

When UT falls to the Alamo Bowl (maybe), I don't buy it from any Horn who says "fine, let's do it".

I did not say you were suicidal, just not giddy about Alamo Bowl.

BOWL SELECTION ORDER
Again this season, the Big 12 has eight bowl slots guaranteed. The Conference is partnered with nine bowls. However the arrangement with the Gator Bowl is for it to select a Big 12 team twice over a four-year period. In the two years in which the Gator does not select a Big 12 team, the Sun Bowl will. Following is the selection order:
BCS
Cotton
Holiday
Gator (when it selects a Big 12 team)
Alamo
Sun (when the Gator does not take a Big 12 team)
Insight
Independence
Texas

There is a provision (from what I have read) where the Gator Bowl CAN once every 4 years jump the Cotton in the picking order.

Will it happen this year? I don't know. Supposedly they do not want OU or NEB.

I'm just quoting what the Big 12 website. You would think they would mention all possible exemptions in their explanation.
