Penn State is ranked higher than Minnesota, so I have them in the Rose Bowl against the Pac 12 runner up Utah. The Big 12 Champion gets SEC rep #5 Alabama. Wake Forest sneaks into the rankings at #25 and by being the only ACC team left with three losses or less, they get the Orange Bowl berth. #8 Notre Dame gets in against them as the SEC/Big10/ND rep, and that leaves the Group of 5 Champ Boise State against the highest ranked team left, #7 Georgia in Dallas. Bahamas-Western Michigan(7-5) vs UAB(9-3) Frisco-Western Kentucky(7-5) vs Ohio(6-6) New Mexico-Wyoming(9-3) vs Marshall(9-4) Cure-Georgia Southern(7-5) vs Tulane(6-6) Boca Raton-Toledo(10-3) vs Central Florida(9-3) -MAC Champ Toledo against Central Florida in Boca Raton is the most intriguing matchup here. Tulane coach Willie Fritz would face his old team Georgia Southern in the Cure Bowl, and we have Conference USA runner up Marshall against a good Mountain West team in Wyoming. Camellia-Georgia State(7-5) vs Buffalo(7-5) Las Vegas-San Diego State(9-4) vs California(6-6) New Orleans-Louisiana Tech(11-2) vs Appalachian State(12-1) Gasparilla-Temple(8-4) vs Southern Miss(8-4) Hawaii-BYU(8-4) vs Memphis(11-2) -Conference USA Champ faces the Sun Belt Champ Appalachian State in New Orleans. With their wins against North Carolina and South Carolina, App State will be playing the what if card, if they would have beaten their rival Georgia Southern earlier in the season, they would have been the Cotton Bowl selection. Memphis loses in the American Championship and gets BYU in Hawaii as a consolation prize. As Mountain West runner up, San Diego State receives the Las Vegas Bowl invitation against Cal. Independence-SMU(10-2) vs Duke(6-6) Quick Lane-Michigan State(6-6) vs Central Michigan(6-6) Military-Navy(10-2) vs Florida State(6-6) Pinstripe-Pittsburgh(7-5) vs Illinois(7-5) Texas-Texas A&M(7-5) vs Oklahoma State(8-4) -With 10 wins, SMU has their best season in thirty years, and they get the last ACC rep in Duke in Shreveport as their prize. A surprising Illinois gets the Yankee Stadium berth against a descent Pittsburgh team. There is no ACC team available for the Quick Lane bowl, so as the secondary option, Central Michigan gets to represent the MAC at an almost home game. Holiday-Wisconsin(9-3) vs Arizona State(7-5) Cheez It-Iowa State(7-5) vs UCLA(6-6) Camping World-Virginia(9-4) vs Kansas State(9-3) First Responder-TCU(6-6) vs Florida Atlantic(9-3) Music City-Virginia Tech(8-4) vs Kentucky(7-5) -Because the Pac 12 is top heavy this year, Wisconsin gets a disappointing opponent in Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl. A much better UCLA team sneaks into the Cheez-It Bowl against Iowa State, and the ACC Championship game loser, Virginia, gets the bid to the Camping World Bowl in Orlando. Redbox-USC(7-5) vs Indiana(8-4) Alamo-Baylor(11-2) vs Washington(8-4) Belk-North Carolina(7-5) vs Mississippi State(6-6) Sun-Washington State(6-6) vs Louisville(7-5) Liberty-Texas(7-5) vs Tennessee(6-6) -Tennessee is much better the past month, so they will get bowl eligibility and head to West Tennessee to face a huge name in Texas. This bowl could be must see tv. The Belk Bowl stays close to home and gets North Carolina to bring a crowd against a SEC West foe in Mississippi State. Big 12 runner up Baylor gets the Pac 12's third best team in four loss Washington. Arizona-Air Force(9-3) vs Arkansas State(8-4) Citrus-Minnesota(11-2) vs Florida(9-3) Outback-Auburn(8-4) vs Michigan(9-3) Birmingham-Cincinnati(11-2) vs Miami(7-5) -Cincinnati gets revenge on Memphis, and wins the American Championship. They are barely edged out by Boise State for the Cotton Bowl, so they get to head to Birmingham, Alabama for a matchup with a seven win Miami team from the ACC. Minnesota/Florida will be a top 15 matchup, and Michigan/Auburn will be a top 25 matchup. Gator-Iowa(9-3) vs Missouri(8-4) Idaho Potato-Nevada(7-5) vs Ball State(7-5) Armed Forces-Hawaii(8-5) vs Eastern Michigan(6-6) Mobile Alabama-Lafayette(10-3) vs Miami OH(8-5) -The Gator Bowl will get a surprisingly good matchup with a ranked Iowa team going up against a Missouri team that finished the year strong with a win against Florida. Louisiana Lafayette is the runner up in the Sun Belt and gets fellow championship game loser Miami, Ohio in the Mobile Alabama Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Another great read, thanks for taking the time to figure this out and write it down. I could see things easily falling this way. Obviously as a fan, I'd love to see Georgia get back to the playoffs but I don't see it. Navy/FSU is as good a matchup as any for the Military Bowl. I'd prefer a closer team than FSU for work purposes, but I think they have enough national fans in the DC/Baltimore area who will show up. There are definitely some more interesting matchups that you have as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Don't see the committee taking a one-loss Oregon over a one-loss Alabama. Really, the only thing Oregon is going to have going on for them is their win over Auburn and a potential win over Utah, but Pac-12 is mediocre aside from Oregon and Utah. Alabama's lone loss was against LSU, and they'll have the ability to match Oregon's win over Auburn with their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon did not beat Auburn (though they should have). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Notre Dame really needs to win out. I don't want them playing in what amounts to be a participation trophy game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
