Ok, first we have to sort out the committee bowls, so here is my CFP committee rankings projections

1. BAMA
2. Oregon
3. FSU
4. TCU
5. Ohio St
6. Baylor
7. Miss St
8. Mich St
9. Ariz
1O. Ole miss
11. Kansas St
12. Wisc

CFP committee bowls

Semifinal #1, Sugar: Bama vs. TCU
Semifinal #2, Rose: Oregon vs. Florida St

Orange: Clemson vs. Miss St
Cotton: Ohio St vs. Baylor
Fiesta: Boise St vs. Arizona
Peach: Mich St vs. ole miss

Tier2
Citrus: Wisc
Outback: Minn
Holiday: Neb

Tier3
Pinstripe: Md
San Fran: Iowa
taxslayer gator: Rutgers

TIER4
Detroit Quick Line: ILL
Heart of Dallas: Penn St

Unless there is something preventing a 6 win team jumping a seven win team, I think Penn State is going to the Pinstripe Bowl. I am sure they would be the bowl committees first choice for whatever that's worth. The local NJ newspaper's website (nj.com) has Rutgers going to the Music City Bowl which means that an ACC team would get the Gator Bowl. Personally I hope Rutgers gets the SF Bowl, but aftet being down 25 with 2 minutes before halftime, any of the Tier 3 bowls would be awesome.

IF Rutgers prefers the San Fran Bowl, I am sure many Iowa fans would be interested in the Music City Bowl, since Iowa has never played in the Music City Bowl. So lets trade.

The article on NJ.com (http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index....hoice.html) says the Athletic Department is pushing for Nashville.

I would be fine with any of San Francisco, Nashville or Jacksonville. All are in NFL stadiums and should be against high quality teams.

Done and done. Have your people call my people.

is big 10 champ if not in playoff assured of going to a a certain bowl or is it committees choice?

also looks like big ten will get orange bowl vs acc this year with them being higher than miss state

Its the committee's choice, but they are assured of an Access Bowl spot. The Orange would have first dibs given the ACC vs. SEC/Big Ten/ND deal.

thought I read big 10 champ cant go to orange but other 3 are in play. Was wondering if they try to keep the usual big10-pac 12 matchup in say the fiesta or say cotton vs big 12 or in peach vs sec?

Its true that the committee ranking Mich State higher than Miss St could change things. If Mich St ends up in the Orange Bowl, there is a rule the BigTen loses its spot in the Citrus Bowl.

So the rankings are

1. Bama
2. Oregon
3. TCU
4. FSU
5. Ohio St
6. BAYLOR
7. Arizona
8. Mich St
9. Kansas St
10. Miss St
11. GA Tech
12. OLE MISS
13. Wisc
22. Boise St.

So the committe bowls may be

Sugar: Bama vs. FSU
Rose: Oregon vs. TCU
Orange: Mich St vs. GA Tech
Cotton: Ohio St vs. Baylor
Fiesta: Arizona vs. Boise St
Peach: Kansas St vs. Miss St.

In which case, the big ten loses its spot in the Citrus


Upper tier bowls
Holiday: Wisconsin
Outback: Minnesota

Mid Tier bowls
Gator: Iowa
San fran: Rutgers
Pinstripe: PSU (I am hearing they are a lock for the Pinstripe)

Bottom tier
DETROIT: MD
Heart of Dallas: Nebraska (only because they fired their coach but I am not sure this is allowed to bump them down since they are 9-3)
Cactus or some other at-large: ILL

Very much hope Ohio State wins this week. If not and it's close, it's actually possible the conference gets 3 teams the 6 CFP bowls. Wisconsin would be locked in, Michigan State isn't leaving the top 10, and a close Ohio State loss would probably keep them there too (maybe).

Going to be very weird this year if there is no Big Ten team in the Citrus on New Years Day. I don't watching college football before that was a stable.

Hoping for any game but the Pinstripe Bowl for Rutgers. Twice in three years is enough to have to deal with those awful sightlines. There are very good reasons why MLB and NFL teams no longer share stadiums. Also f''k the Yankees.

I agree with everything in this post, especially the bold.

I would rather go back to the Pinstripe Bowl, then Dallas or Detroit.

I'm actually a Yankee fan. Columbus Clippers were the farm team of the Yankees when I was growing up and that got me into them early. That said, I'm just as much a Cincinnati Reds fan anymore at this point. Yankees will always be my American League team though.

I'm a Mets fan and rather ambivalent about the Yankees when we're not playing them. Its the Philthies and the Braves I really can't stand.
