others. More show up, stay longer and spend more money. Committees full of local business owners who want economic impact for their communities. Orange and Cotton vying for PSU if we finish top 10.
Scoop: Orange Bowl Committee wants Penn State. Fan base travels better than . . .
- Thread starter LealandLoyal
- Start date
Not my first choice but better than a lot of others.
Outside of the top four teams everyone is meaningless.
You hate you!We Are…Meaningless!
But it can at least be fun….AAC champ is anything but.
Sometimes not so fun if we sit out 10 players.
I’m actually impressed by some of PSU’s 2nd and 3rd stringers
A bowl game could be their coming-out party
A scoop of SnoopScoop? Of dog crap?

This is the year the whole "Give the G5's best team an auto qualifier" argument can be flushed down the toilet.
#19 Tulane or #25 UCF are poised to take that spot. That's not a feel-good story, that's a joke. I thought the angle on G5 teams still required them to finish in the Top12 to get an automatic spot in NY6 and finishing lower gave the committee justification for not picking them.

I’m simply wondering where the scoop is. It just seems like LealandLoyal’s hopeful take.
C'mon, Midnighter. You haven't LIVED until you've been to the Cotton Bowl and sampled the cuisine. Literally everything but the beverages is fried.Please not the Cotton….
We can still find meaning in another demoralizing bowl loss.
technically you are right. But the committee has 2 separate goals. One select top 4. Then select matchups for other bowls.
They have moved teams before for this.
They rank teams to justify other rankings. I could see Purdue and Minny sneaking into the top 25 with win especially if Iowa loses. This will allow them to raise us above an SEC team especially if Tennessee doesn’t look good.
look at resumes. (And who they beat). Lsu/Bama aren’t drastically better than ours. Tennessee is in the fact they bear 2 top teams but also struggled more with mediocre teams (5 pt victory against UF. OT vs Pitt. 25 pt loss to USCe
LSU has a victory against Bama. Other than that not much. Bana has 2 against the st of Mississippi. We dominated Auburn. LSU won by 4.
The committee can change things and rank othets to justify the results. They would be crazy to not listen to bowl partners (especially after top 4)
Bottom Line:
The "CFP" idiocy - committees, talking heads, etc - has managed to make the days of "Guys-in-Colorful-Blazers, parading around press boxes in stadiums around the country", look like the far more reasoned and rational approach to setting up post-season bowl games.
That was a pretty tall hurdle to overcome, but they did it.
Progress. Gotta' love it.
Just wait until we get the "12 Team Playoff"
everyone has been clamoring for.
Orange Bowl has a trump card it can use to outright pick an SEC or B1G team instead of going by rankings, based on the deal the CFP has with the Orange Bowl
Whether that gets used or not, who knows.

How did the Cotton Bowl get stuck with the non-Power 5 team? Can't imagine they are happy with this arrangement.
Cotton, Fiesta and Peach don't have tie-ins. Fiesta and Peach are playoff bowls this year. So, G5 by default goes to the Cotton
