Fiesta Bowl would not put us at a geographical disadvantage unless we play

one of the Arizona schools - which isn't going to happen.

No way does BYU get the Rose Bowl ahead of the Big Ten champ. Hard to see a scenario where the Big Ten champ pushes for any other bowl ahead of the Rose Bowl - even if a team much closer to Atlanta or New Orleans than Pasadena.

If we make the CFP, is there any chance of us being in the Rose Bowl

I’ve had that same hope! Would be so funny. I still like to tell Utes we went

Yes, but probably not if Oregon wins the Big 10. I think Big 10 will get Rose

Well if we make it as an at large as an 8/9 seed we might play Oregon there

That's true! I bet we don't get an at large tho

Yah, it’s technically possible but it’s hard to imagine a scenario where it happens

If I had to bet, they will have a B1G team in the Rose Bowl quarterfinal

But, if we get in as an at-large, we might be pushed to the Rose Bowl

Really the only way is to not get the autobid, then win our first game

No the BIG12 winner is most likely Fiesta Bowl this year

If we are a top 4 seed I would guess we get the Fiesta

Technically if we were number 1 overall we would get our pick.

no, that’s not how it works, the teams don’t get to pick, the committee assigns

Coog4Life

Nope, it sure does work that way

Semifinal, not quarterfinal

They don’t get to pick for quarterfinals. It’s assigned by the committee. And

I showed you the quote from Dinich

And I showed you the quote straight from the CFP site

“The [No. 1] SEC champ would be assigned to the Sugar Bowl”

RGGeemer

Oct 21, 5:02pm

It's just like the NCAA tournament. They also give the 1-seeds "preferential

RGGeemer

Oct 21, 5:11pm

Dinich even says assigned by the committee

RGGeemer

Oct 21, 4:47pm

But it wasn’t the first sentence which is operative.

Dude you’re wrong haha. But keep digging that hole, I guess.

In this year that would certainly be the case but in other years where the Peach, Orange and Sugar Bowls are the quarter

Could be. May be the Rose Bowl will slowly lose its Big Ten association...
