My expectation is if we finish 9-3, which we should, we'll go to the Citrus Bowl and play a school like Florida or Miss State. I don't think that PSU will make a NY6 bowl this year even if it finishes 9-3 and, quite frankly, it doesn't deserve to go to one when you lose to an eminently beatable OSU and decimated MSU both at home. The Michigan disgrace also negatively will affect this.The year before. I wonder whether that may impact our chances of a ny6 this year since I doubt fiesta would want us back to back.
Thoughts?
Not sure it can happen but I think the peach would be a great fit this year.
$$$$. I think the fiesta would love is back. Weren't we the highest rated non playoff bowl?
There may be rules from the B1G. we will come in, probably, fourth in the league behind OSU um nw and msu.

We will come in right behind Michigan and Ohio State, as long as we don't crap the bed and lose to Rutgers or Maryland.
We should finish at 9-3 (6-3), and with Bowl Games revolving around $$$, definitely think we have the advantage of both Northwestern and Michigan State.
- Michigan State is currently 6-4 (4-3 in Conference) with games left against Nebraska and Rutgers. Could see them either finishing 8-4 (6-3) or 7-5 (5-4) with possible loss to Nebraska who has improved.
- Northwestern is currently 6-4 (6-1 in Conference) with games left against Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan/Ohio State (B1G Championship). Could see them either finishing 8-5 (8-2) or 7-6 (7-3) with losses in B1G Championship and possibly Minnesota.
My money is on a Citrus Bowl appearance against Florida or Kentucky who should win out their last 2 games to finish 9-3 as well.

The B10 has zero to do with the NY6 (they will have some influence with NON-NY6 bowls with B10 tie-ins).
PSU will - if they win their last two - be the third B10 in the pecking order (unless NW wins the CCG - which would slot PSU as fourth).
MSU is now completely irrelevant vav the NY6 (after their loss to OSU)
ESPN cares about ratings..... the "Bowls" could care less (they are concerned with visitors and tourism $$$, if anything)
Fiesta would be great due to the payout, but back to back to back trips out West adds up money wise. I was fortunate enough to see both the Rose and the Fiesta in person, and if we're invited to either of those games this year it's a tough sell for me and a lot of the others whom went in our group, to make another trip for the third year in a row to see a team that didn't win the division, conference, and has 3 losses.
The majority of our fans are obviously on the East Coast... If we somehow got into the Peach Bowl for the first time ever, I could see that being a great draw for Penn State. The Rose and Fiesta would be great, but if you didn't go the last two years, I doubt you're choosing this season to be the year you splurge... This season feels a lot like 2002. . basically we won the games we should have and lost to or stumbled to victories VS teams who were better or equal).....
Some Peachy Paterno would hit to spot right about now...... Too soon?
Bowls Penn State will NOT go to:
- Orange Bowl - CFP Semi-Final
- Cotton Bowl - CFP Semi-Final
- Fiesta Bowl - "Big Ten schools will not go to the same bowl in back-to-back years (except for Rose Bowl and CFP bowls), and restrictions on multiple and/or consecutive appearances within states or regions."
- Sugar Bowl - SEC vs Big 12
- Rose Bowl - Michigan or Ohio State probably. Could be Northwestern if they pulled off a B1G Championship upset.
Bowls Penn State could possibly go to (IMO likely order):
- Citrus Bowl - Big Ten vs SEC - Think most likely spot. Guessing Penn State vs Florida, Kentucky, or Mississippi State
- Peach Bowl - If Penn State sneaks into a NY6, it will be this one. PSU will have to hope to jump a few spots to get here over the next 3 weeks (Florida, Texas, Syracuse, etc.)
- Outback Bowl - If somehow Northwestern or Michigan State got the Citrus Bowl bid instead of PSU OR if somehow Northwestern pulls off the biggest upset in B1G Championship Game history, then it's NW going to the Rose Bowl and a trickle down effect with Michigan and Ohio State ahead of Penn State...Don't believe likely, but never know.
Huh?
Not sure what you are getting at.
Yes, I've read that stuff before...… the B10 involvement stuff has to do with the NON-NY6 Bowls (Citrus on down, if you will)
The Rose takes the B10 Champ (unless the Rose is a "playoff" site"), or selects another B10 team if the B10 Champ goes to the "playoff"
The NY6 is the NY6 - and doesn't involve the B10 vav "selections". B10 has nada to do with that.
There is nothing in that "B10 Release" about the Sugar, Fiesta, or Peach (the other NY6 Bowls)…… because the B10 has nothing to do with that (that is all "Selection Committee" tasks)
The rest of the stuff is the non-NY6 B10 tie-in bowl set up.
Right?
Fiesta is a CFP bowl.
The “CFP” - in that context - covers all the NY6 Bowls.
It’s not that unclear...... but feel free to ask me if I “can read” again.
I don’t know what else to tell ya’
Nor do I care to.
Is it ... or is it defined this season as NY6 because it does not host a CFP
Go to the College Football Playoff site and see if you can find a definition, even a mention, of the term "New Year's Six."
As the selection committee is bound to place the highest ranked teams in what you call the NY6. the Big Ten is not in a position to override them because of some agreements they have with organizing committees of a bunch of meaningless (to everyone but college presidents and ADs who will never pass up the opportunity to hold court even if it's in Detroit the day after Christmas) games.
Oh, Jeebzus....... why didn’t you make it clear up front - - - that you were a hopeless case
Thanks for wasting my time...... it’ll be the last
In the meantime, feel free to punch yourself in the dick - - if that’s your thing (I appreciate your offer - but that is more than a bit too “familiar” for my tastes...... not that there is anything wrong with that )
If you see me - which I kinda doubt - let me know, and I’ll give you a free swift kick in the nuts (out of the kindness of my heart).
I’ll give you multiple kicks in the nuts, at a discounted rate of $10 per nut kick - for additional whacks.
You welcome...... and enjoy your masturbatory nut attack.
Bless your heart.
Atlanta in Dec/Jan a good draw?Fiesta would be great due to the payout, but back to back to back trips out West adds up money wise.
