[Husker] Bowls

[Eric & Susan Kiefer]

Here's the link to the Big 12 Bowl Selection Order:
http://www.big12sports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/102606aaa.html

It states:
Again this season, the Big 12 has eight bowl slots guaranteed. The
Conference is partnered with nine bowls. However the arrangement with the
Gator Bowl is for it to select a Big 12 team twice over a four-year period.
In the two years in which the Gator does not select a Big 12 team, the Sun
Bowl will. Following is the selection order:

BCS
Cotton
Holiday
Gator (when it selects a Big 12 team)
Alamo
Sun (when the Gator does not take a Big 12 team)
Insight
Independence
Texas

The Big 12 has 9 teams that qualify for a bowl this year, and a bowl cannot
select a team with 6 wins over a team with 7.

That scenario leaves out the Holiday Bowl, which I believe must take a
Big 12 team.  I think the Gator has an alternative to the Big 12, but I
don't think the Holiday Bowl does.  I think the Cotton goes first and
might pick OU or NU (if NU loses), then the Holiday Bowl would pick
next.  However, there is some horse trading and I've heard that OU
might go to the Gator as you suggest.  There was speculation that the
Cotton might take NU, then the Holiday might skip OU (which was there
last year) and take A&M, which would put the teams the way that you
suggest.
