Guaranteed Rate Bowl in Phoenix has an option to take BYU

I would be happy with any of those as an opponent

I’d take that fo’ sho’. To be honest I less hurt about missing a NY6 this year. Knowing that we’re going to the B12

We last played in that bowl in 1994

Plus, its now in Phoenix vs Tucson

That is the old Independence bowl payout from when it was ACC vs SEC. It is not that high for Indy vs CUSA.

Little difference prestige-wise in these bowls. A higher payout would be nice.

According to Spocougar payout is worse. but opponent is better. I want 7 p5 wins

As with XII membership, I think the only way the GRB would take us is if no othe

Your quick paragraphs on a fan board were more interesting and insightful than Jay Drew’s article he gets paid to write

I see it is a 10:15ET kickoff on Tuesday 12/28. I'll bet we get this bowl.

In phoenix?

They probably like that fact that BYU "travels" well. I think BYU would sell ..

Honestly if we don't get NY6 I'd rather go to Phoenix vs Shreveport

would be the best bowl for my schedule. Hope it happens.

Oh, please yes 🙏🏻 (Assuming no NY6 of course)

Seems I heard PAC has more contracts than they can fill too.

well, now that USC can't get bowl eligible, and if they win ruin Cals chance, that's true

ChinaFan

11/29/21 1:25am

Cal is 4-7, they have no chance of getting bowl eligible

Is there any chance we could play another Pac12 team in a bowl?

SI is predicting BYU in the Peach Bowl…

Those don't get me excited. The CFP is corrupt AF.

Where are you seeing those numbers?

Machiavelli

11/29/21 11:01am

Those numbers are wrong, it's actually $2.2 million vs $1.6 million

therock

11/29/21 12:24pm

Offset some by cheaper travel to Phoenix vs Shreveport

11/29/21 2:18pm

Maybe a bit or a hot take

No thank you. We’re beat up. They’re improved. We got scoreboard

Nope. Enjoy that win for two years. Hard to beat a good team 2x in a row.
