If Dana and Jimbo both stumble onto 6 wins
Any chance we could get that vs A$M?
Or is that an upper-tier Big 12 bowl?

I was about to say Texas Tech cause theyâre ranked higher than us in conference play but looked like they played Texas Bowl last year so hoping we can get the slot, Texas Bowl would be a sellout if both UH and the Aggies
Gotta beat Cinci and UCF at least tho, knowing Dana, not sure haha

Local teams are anathema to bowl committees. No additional money coming into town that committee members can brag about. Better shot at playing in that western bowl.

I would attend that game. I doubt the Aggies would come, they are popular with bowls due to their travelling party. A bowl above Texas would grab them.

I can see them turning up their noses at a Texas Bowl vs UH already

After the CFP selection process the Citrus Bowl gets the first selection of available SEC Teams.
POOL OF SIX BOWLS: After the Citrus Bowl selects a team, there will be a pool of six bowls and the Conference, in consultation with the institutions and the bowls, will make the assignments for these six bowl games from all eligible SEC teams.
The pool of six bowls for 2022-23 are as follows:

Big 12 CFP Contract Bowl Qualifier
The Big 12 champion will earn the Conferenceâs automatic berth for its CFP contract bowl slot.
Additional Big 12 Teams in the CFP
If a Big 12 team(s) is rated in the top four of the CFP, it will play in one of the semifinals. This does not affect the Big 12 designee being placed in a CFP New Yearâs Bowl if it is not one of the top four teams. There is not a limit on the number of teams from one conference that can be placed in CFP bowls. Additional Big 12 teams may be selected for other CFP New Yearâs bowls based on their ranking in the final CFP Poll.
Big 12 Bowl Partners
Once the CFP has filled its bowl slots, Big 12 bowl partners will make selections from the remaining Conference teams. Following is the order of selection. A bowl may pick from any available teams with .500 or better records when it reaches its spot in the selection order. After the placement of those teams, slots will be filled from among the pool of remaining teams.
Allstate Sugar/ CFP At-Large
Valero Alamo
Pop-Tarts
TaxAct Texas
AutoZone Liberty
Guaranteed Rate
Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl*/SERVPRO First Responder Bowl*
Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl
** Game is a âflex pickâ for seventh selection after CFP.*
Since we donât travel, we wonât be a popular pick.

With our luck if we get to 6 we will end up in Fort Worth unless TCU has finals that week.
Now we are contemplating Aggie vs UH in the Texas Bowl? Funny, funny.

That might be fun, assuming the fan enthusiasm for both teams is enough to fill the seats.
That ship has sailed.

LOOK OUT! You could make the âsunshine pumpersâ mad!
As inconsistent as this team is I am not sold on winning 2 of the last 3 games. We should beat Cincy, but we should have beaten Rice too. OKST? Not a chance as the pokes will likely be playing for a spot in the Big 12 championship. UCF on the road the day after Thanksgiving could be interesting if we need another win to make a bowl. Or we may fold in a haze of turkey induced brain-fog mixed with Red Bull and whatever accompanies it. All that said, there is zero chance A&M would agree to play us.
Being in the âmighty SECâ, backing out of a Bowl game with UH if it happens is not a good look. If Jimbo is #1 on the hot seat, you would think he would want another win to help his cause.
I dont know what all this Texas Bowl talk isâŠword is if we can figure out a way to win 2 more games, we will go to the Gauranteed Rate bowl and play a Big 10 team, possibly MarylandâŠ
