Citrus Bowl scenario

[615dawg]

Not 100%, but if Clemson beats South Carolina and Texas A&M beats LSU, we could still sneak into the Citrus Bowl.

Would probably need South Carolina to get smashed. I would definitely be more excited about going to the Citrus Bowl or Outback Bowl on NYD than a game against Iowa or Iowa State in Music City or Texas.

While the Orange bowl was prestigious, I felt the same way that year. Just could not get excited about Northwestern after losing the EB and missing out on CFP and sugar bowl.

It sounds like you’re conflating our second Gator Bowl against Northwestern and our Orange Bowl against Georgia Tech.

 

[PineGroveBully]

You are correct, Thanks

I’m hoping for liberty vs Texas. Close, easy, and fun trip. Also we had a pretty good season after our last liberty appearance. Maybe lightening will strike twice?

ETA: also I am not too stoked about making a long arse holiday trip to south FL after that loss Thurs. Like the poster above it has kinda killed some of my enthusiasm

I could make Nashville on Friday or any Saturday game. Monday anywhere is pretty much out for me because of work.

Is it wrong that I don't want to make the Citrus Bowl now? I'd actually rather us fall to a game that won't put Key in such a tight spot. Seems like it would be more beneficial to get Key a win and some confidence. Sounds like the prognosis for Nick Fitzgerald is better than I expected but I would still think there is a chance we might need Key at the beginning of next fall.

I'm still holding out for Bahamas bowl.

Nah... we should volunteer to stay at home and keep the rebearsharks company after that embarrassing loss to them Thursday!***

It’s understandable, but wrong imo.

Always want the best bowl possible. Selfishly, if we don’t make the citrus or outback...I want the music city.

I live in nashville so im game for music city

I agree 100%. I’d much rather us take a lessor bowl with a better chance for a win. We need a win and a confidence builder for the team and the fans. Need to end the season on a positive note.

I don't know about that. If A&M beats LSU they'd probably get the Citrus even though we beat them.i think the best we can hope for is that LSU beats A&M, Clemson crushes USCe, and teams like Michigan, West Virginia, and others lose so maybe we'll stay ranked at least 24 or 25. We could get the Outback in this scenario. Could still get the Citrus if they don't want LSU two years in a row, and send them to the Outback. Without Fitzgerald and coupled with that crap show Thursday we aren't as near as attractive as we once were. I hope we get a Florida NYD bowl, but it might be more likely the MCB or Liberty.
