LA Bowl projections

USC is probably going to have a hard time becoming bowl eligible. Nebraska, UCLA and ND. It’d be cool if the Reb’s came down here for the LA Bowl. It’d be fun to watch a practice or two. I haven’t been to the new stadium in Inglewood yet. Just heard different parking stories.
 
I think they can beat Nebraska and UCLA. Could even see them taking out Notre Dame (they always seem to drop games they shouldn’t).

While USC disappoints again (is Riley a dead man walking?), all of their losses have been close. Most losses have been less than a FG. Their worst loss was by 7 points.
 
Obviously would rather beat BSU and go from there but if that doesn't happen this is an "ok" alternative. I would rather play a lower level ranked team 20-25. UW is more mediocre this year. A matchup equivalent to Kansas last year is much better. A win would mean a lot more.

Goal is 100% a playoff, but this would be a really, really good bowl game for us as a program.
 
I think the bowl itself would be good but the matchup meh.
Ha, just compare it to the New Mexico Bowl or the Idaho Potato bowl where we'd be facing off against Eastern Michigan or some other MAC/Sun Belt team.

A matchup against Washington or USC would put those to shame.

That and the payout will be sweeter. We picked up $1.6 million last year and hopefully we can get over the $2 million payout this year.

It's definitely better than those which is why I said the bowl itself is good, just the opponent is meh. I haven't been that impressed watching them play.
 
A chance against a bowl eligible B10 opponent is pretty solid. Arguably an upgrade from our last bowl, though Kansas was having a pretty good season.
Kansas was ranked 20-25 Washington isn't that. I would rather play KSU or Colorado would be fun. Vandy or Louisville even over Washington.

WE kind of lucked out with that bowl last season. The LA is the best MW tie-in bowl, so it would be hard to turn it down, unless we get lucky again.
