Bowl Projections

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

ESPN: Outback vs Arkansas or Music City vs Tennessee


CBS: Music City vs Ole Miss

24/7: Duke's Mayo vs Wake Forest

Sporting News: Music City vs Kentucky

Based on projections I am seeing. If Iowa wins out and beats Indiana on the 19th they could play into a NY6 Bowl.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

It’s been said a gajillion times but Music City would be fun for this fan base.

If fans can even go?

In a normal year you'd probably get 30K Iowa fans there.

Winning out and beat Indiana could put us in the Cotten.

Cotton or Fiesta

 

[bdg8]

ISU was projected for Cotton in one of ESPNs projections

 

[fezzador]

The Outback Bowl has become the Iowa Invitational. Hard pass.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Either Music City or Outback not a bad destination for the Hawks to play vs any of the bad SEC teams projected to play in those games - Ark, Tenn, or Kentucky.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Wake Forest in Charlotte intrigues me.

 

[Niko13]

How fitting would it be to miss ISU in the regular season and then face them in the Cotton Bowl

 

[Gridiron24]

7-2 with a win over Indiana would make us a borderline NY6 team. If we're 7-2 with a win over a deflated Ohio State, we'd be a lock.

Still gotta beat Wisconsin (we only have one win vs the Badgers in the past decade...) and then Indiana/Ohio State first.

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Nashville is a fun trip. Been there many times.

 

[Kabby]

The Outback Bowl has become the Iowa Invitational. Hard pass.

well seeing as probably no fans will be there I would think the team would prefer Florida that time of year. The fans would like Nashville but why waste it on a year when nobody is getting in

 

[NevadaHawk]

Us lining up with Ole Miss in Nashville sounds pretty good to me.

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Wake Forest in Charlotte intrigues me.

Said no one ever

 

[lakeguy641]

Heck no I don’t want to see the Hawks play in the music city bowl. We want that when we can put 35,000 fans in the stadium and run wild in downtown Nashville for four nights

 

[KuwaitHawk]

If fans can go, I would be up to making a trip to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl.

 

[NI hawk]

If fans can go, I would be up to making a trip to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl.

Agree. Nashville, Tampa , and Dallas would all be great, if fans are allowed. If not, it doesn't make much difference to me.

Considering the Big10 wasn't even going to allow the team to play Football,
I'd love it if the Hawkeyes earned a trip to the Outback Bowl, playing in the
first Football game of 2021, as they have previously, like when they waxed another
SEC school, a couple years back.

It's Jan 2nd this year (next year) for some reason.

 

[leiserom]

I wonder if the Florida Bowls will let fans in.

 

[Hawkeye_311]

Florida NFL teams have fans.

It would be so much fun. Nashville is amazing and man I miss that hot chicken at Hattie B’s.

 

[Sett1997]

I live here, we have a governor with a brain.
I'm guessing 25% -50% capacity or so.

I live here. Desantis is an extremely short pudgy douche nozzle without a brain. Having said that there is no need to put a cap on attendance. You could easily spread the crowd out over the entire stadium. It never comes close to selling out.

50K in a stadium wouldn't necessarily be easy to spread out.

 

[BettDogs7]

I doubt there’ll be significant numbers of fans so I just want the best matchup to watch on TV

 

[markfromj]

They still have to go to the pisser, funnel through entrances, and maybe concessions.

Close enough for government work..........

 

[IowaNiceHawk]

Last night's Chiefs at Bucs game, held at Raymond James where Outback is played.......
Maybe 20% fans there............I'd go if Hawkeyes play there, beings as
I winter around that area.

Lots of good food there and stop in a boot shop and get high on the smell of good leather

What are bowl games without fans? I think they should have the playoffs and scrap the bowl games.

An extra game for the team and another chance for fans to watch them play...????

 

[libertyhawkeye]

The bowl games make most of their money from ad revenue from television viewership, rather then ticket sales. As far as I'm tracking the bowls that are still on will still have fans at a limited capacity.

It is interesting to ponder where Iowa could be ranked if they win out which would include back to back top 25 wins with Wisconsin and Indiana/OSU. That has a good chance at being NY6 or Citrus. 6-3 is more likely which smells like Outback, maybe Citrus, but OSU, IN, NW, and WI are currently above Iowa.

TV money.

OK, the "WI above Iowa" got me wondering, but are there any "qualifications" for bowls this year? Such as .500 record or 'have to play so many games' or anything of the such?

 

[markfromj]

Indiana is never “above Iowa” in bowl selection.

But I thought BIG said they were not playing out of conference schools? Bowl games are an exception I guess, fans will be limited to 2 per player so it will not be a win for any city that hosts. Poor suckers that get stuck in the pinstripe bowl will blow.

Pinstripe has been cancelled.

Minnesota played Auburn last year and they had around 40,000. Throw in CV19 and you won’t get 20,000 this season. The Dolphins allow 12-13,000. Not sure about the Bucs.
