Bowl Game
- Thread starter DonlugoQ
- Start date
Sean Callahan said he talked to the AD and that worst case scenario we are going to Phoenix for the rate bowl. And if we win Friday we will be in play for the Music City and ReliaQuest Bowls. Basically said that because of our fan draw we will be treated as an 8 win team.

Living in Phoenix, I’m hoping for the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.
Pinstripe (NYC), Music City (Nashville), Above Game Sports (Detroit), Quest (Tampa) all seem like possibilities too.

CBS sports line has Nebraska playing Texas Tech in the Rate bowl in Phoenix on December 26.
Beating the Clarkeyes would put us in the Music City.

Yep with a he expanded playoffs tje smaller bowls need butts in the stands
Thanks. Conference tie in opponents to each of those scenarios...
Rate - Big 12
Music City - SEC
ReliaQuest - SEC
And it all depends on if Oregon, Ohio St, Indiana and Penn St all make the 12 team playoff..
Ohio St losses the CCG could knock them or Indiana out of the playoffs..

So if what Dannen said is correct Nebraska and the Clarkeyes are playing for Realiquest Bowl on Friday..
Still think only 3 B1G teams in the playoffs would send Indiana to the Citrus and Illinois to the Realiquest .

Expanded playoffs AND the trend over the past decade for many seniors to opt out. Of course NU fans are so hungry that even if several of our top seniors opt out, we’ll still travel anywhere.
If we go to the rate bowl, I hope we play an old Big 8 team. KU would be fun (if they get in)

Nashville was a blast. I'd definitely go back again.
Simply pathetic that was our last bowl game when you only need 6 wins nowadays to get to one.
Hypothetical.
Say NU loses to Iowa and then goes to a bowl and loses again and finishes 6-7.
Is that progress?
as I stated when the OC move was made, I'm now not sure anyone can fairly judge one way or the other.
6-7 would seem like something other than progress, 8-5 would seem like a tremendous stride.
it's pretty much a restart, which I would consider progress regardless of our final record. especially if more staffing moves are made.
Yes. Going to a bowl game is progress. The monkey is off our backs regardless.
I think it's hard to argue it's not progress to go to a bowl game.
I think the better question is if it would be an acceptable level of progress.
I'm interested to see if this program is ready to take the next step up. Winning one of the next two and finishing 7-6 would represent progress. 8-5 would confirm it if staff changes are made.
Finishing 8-5 and DH stays I predict that Nebraska would start next season ranked higher than anybody would expect next season like 19th.
And none of this can be answered until two more games are played, so why speculate the $&it out of it..
Exactly when we get to 5 wins next year whenever that occurs in the season tjhe players won’t be hounded by questions on how important the 6th win is .plus we get extra practice for the first time in a While.
You have to squint more to recognize progress in that scenario. At the very least, the fans and players get to experience a bowl game. Considering the drought, that’s still an emotional win/release. 15 practices is a good thing. But there are other factors beyond our final W-L record.
How did we look in those last 2 losses?
Is Dana still the OC?
Other coaching changes?
How did the HS class finish?
Did the portal help or hurt us? How much?
These answers could make us feel better about 6-7, or feel worse about 8-5
