So my question is: if a team is in the first round of the playoffs at home or as a visitor and they lose are they then locked out of the other bowl games?

Yes

What? No Pinstripe Bowl prediction from the Purdue guy? 😄

I can't imagine how good the atmosphere would be for a home playoff game at the Rock. Saturday's game was an elite atmosphere; I guess a playoff atmosphere would be the rocket that Hep always talked about.

Yes, hard to imagine. You can bet I will be there. And any where else they go. I hope you enjoyed your weekend in Bloomington.

I'll be there, too!!! I'm sure even the cheapest tickets would be $175 a pop???

It would be wild, however, we won't have any home playoff games. The top 4 teams get a bye.

Wrong. Seeds 5-8 get a home game in the first round. It is absolutely possible.

You missed the subtle reference to the fact we will have a first round bye….

Wrong I know seeds 5-8 get a home game but the top 4 seeds don't. They won't make a 13-0 B1G champ a 5 seed, bud. Sorry if that disappoints you but you're going to need to come to grips with it.

Got me. I would definitely not be disappointed in that outcome. If we go 13-0 and Beat OSU and Oregon I would assume we would be the#1 seed. Talk about a dream season.

GD!!! Keep talking, i like the way you think!!!

 

[TomEric4756]

Yes, getting promoted out of the pinstripe bowl is a plus.

Just keep winning till Rourke comes back.

It'd be sold out, and the hottest ticket in the state...

Kinda like if we scheduled teams like that in September. 😄
