Coaches Poll- 15th

The Pirate ship is slowly, in the dark of night, creeping up at 11th, only 1 loss --- could the Pirate get into the CFP?

Lots of bloodletting above where the Pirate is moored right now.
 
Personally I think that is a much better/accurate rating. Guess we’ll know Sat evening if that is too high. Come on boys - btho WVa.
 
Now we are fighting for a spot in B12 CG & a NY’s 6 game, which would be a phenomenal season. We are still in control of our destiny. I’m frankly glad the CFP is no longer on the table...it was going to be a major distraction. But for Christ sakes, can we PLEASE bring our A game for 4 quarters....or even our B game!! This cold-hot-cold play means we could lose to WVA, TT & ISU.....only KU loos like a gimme, if that!!:hookem:

If not a CFP slot, now looking very iffy, could it be, could it happen, Texas and Washington State in the Rose Bowl?

The Hermanator and the Pirate, Texas once again in the Rose Bowl? I'm all in for that!

Edit: Or with the CFP now, have the NY bowls reverted back to league alliances, i.e., is the Rose Bowl back to B1G v. Pac12?
 
Rose bowl is always Big 10 Pac 10.

I'd like to make an appearance in the Sugar to take on an SEC team. Give me Georgia or LSU. Or dare I say it, Aggsy. Fiesta Bowl would also be nice.

Most likely is we are going to the Alamo

USED to be before the BCS and CFP.

If the Rose Bowl is not in the playoff process in a given year, yes it reverts back to B1G and Pac 12, but recent Rose Bowls:

Rose bowl prior to CFP (BCS era):
02 Nebraska-Miami
03 Washington State-Oklahoma
05 Texas-Meatchicken
06 USC-Texas
11 TCU-Wisconsin

Rose bowl as CFP playoff sites:
2015 Oregon-FSU
18 Georgia-OU

Since 2002, two Rose Bowls didn't even have either of B1G or Pac12 (2002 and 2018).

Edit: Also checked out this season's CFP, playoff sites are Orange and Cotton, with championship at Levi's at Santa Clara. Rose doesn't appear on any future selection for either playoff or championship games.

But, I think the fine print points out that the Rose Bowl is not committed to the old B1GvPac12 if either or both champions are in the CFP final four, allowing the Rose Bowl to go rogue and solicit any team they want. So, since unless the Pirate gets Wazzu into the final four, it's possibly the Pac 12 champ as one Rose Bowl team. If tOSU wins out or otherwise gets into the final four CFP (or even Meatchicken is B1G champ and final four selection), then apparently the Rose Bowl selection geezers are allowed to choose outside of the B1G on that side: thus Texas could be selected to play Wazzu if Wazzu is Pac12 champs but not final four, and B1G has a champ that IS selected for the final four.

Texas travels well ($$$$).
