    This would be an amazing game. They beat both (10-2) TCU and (11-1) Oklahoma this year.

    I've read the Cactus Bowl as an option vs. Texas as well.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    Also the pinstripe bowl in NYC would be a possibility for me.

    Weird question. Did that rule that they were considering regarding players being able to play in bowl game without it counting against their eligibility ever go anywhere?! In other words, can players like Boyd be able to play in the bowl game?

    Boyd is an interesting case. He enrolled at Tech in January 2017 and was kicked off team and out of school shortly after. I would assume that he is using his redshirt year this year, so I don't think he can play unless he burns that redshirt.

    In the two cases I am familiar with (Jason Thompson for us, squally Canada against us for BYU) were transfers who had sat two full semesters post transfer (Wyoming and wazzu) and since fall semester had ended, each played without burning a whole year.

    Like you said, I don't think Boyd can pull this off

    Tejas would be fun.

    There are a couple of Longhorn fans in the office who are not insufferable jerks and are actually pretty cool.

    Brett McMurphy projects the Utes vs. K.State in the Heart of Dallas bowl. I could go for that.

    Every projection I've seen has Utah vs a Big12 team. I've seen KSU, ISU, and Texas.

    With UW at 13 in the CFP rankings and TCU at 11, there's a chance the Pac-12 sneaks two teams into NY6 bowls. That would bump everyone up one rung in the Pac-12 pecking order, but I don't think it would be enough for Utah to get into a Pac-12 affiliated bowl.

    Yeah - for once being the worst of the Pac 12 bowl eligible teams might play to our benefit. UCLA and Oregon are both 4-5 in league play and we're 3-6, so even if that happens we shouldn't bump up to whatever the last Pac 12 bowl is.

    I completely agree. I am cheering for the Huskies to seal Penn State's first-ever three bowl game losing streak. They deserve a 50-year bowl ban.

    Just one more game! I think uw will win, but a psu win would be hilarious.
