Sun Bowl

Do you even know what your talking about? Sun Bowl picks way to high to have that match up, what r u smoking?

They get fifth pick in both conferences, both conference champions probably get into playoff that pushes sun bowl selection one spot further down.
 
These are the teams that are in play according to Bernie Olivas:
ACC- Boston College, Georgia Tech, N.C. State, UNC, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest
Pacific 12- Stanford, Utah
As stated on News Channel 9 (KTSM) Sports Extra.

When there are two 8-4 or better teams picked let me know how your math worked out for you!

North Carolina 8-4 vs Stanford 9-3 just thought you should know, since you said the Sun Bowl was getting a 5-7 team lol
Like the match-up, I give the edge to N. Carolina but will root for Stanford. Hope I can make out this year will be in town for a few days.

UNC vs Stanford is a great matchup. Saw them against OU when Luck was still with Stanford and the SB was sold out and it was a good game. The Stanford band is worth the ticket price alone.

Hope UNC fans know that the Stanford band likes to poke at their opponents. I sat on the OU side during the Sun Bowl matchup and of course some OU fans weren't laughing while some were. The Stanford timing was impeccable; no one saw it coming.

It's not a neutral site game. One year the home team is the ACC and the other year the Pac 12. This year the ACC is the home team.
Oh, come on now 05. One of the teams is designated home team for purposes of who wears which color but it is not an official home or road game for either one.
 
But an exception was made for the 2016 Rose Bowl, so hopefully we get to see them. They're silly.

Seeking to achieve sustained reforms in the conduct and culture of the Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band, Stanford is temporarily suspending all activities of the Band through the spring quarter of 2017 and initiating a process to develop a new organizational framework under the leadership of a new music director.
In May 2015, the Band was found responsible for a number of violations of university alcohol, Title IX and organizational conduct policies. Over the last 18 months it has been operating under an alcohol suspension, a travel ban and a requirement that the Band make a series of reforms to improve its culture.

A campus Organization Conduct Board (OCB) panel recently found the Band responsible for new violations of campus alcohol policy, the alcohol suspension and the travel ban. Reviewing both the new violations and the failure to complete the required reforms over the last 18 months, the OCB panel found “a systemic cultural problem” in the Band organization and concluded that “the outstanding issues have not been taken seriously by the Band or its leadership and that nothing more will be accomplished without extreme consequences.”
Boardman said he concurred with the OCB findings but was concerned that the Band would be unable to reconstitute itself following a suspension of that length. His decision calls for a temporary suspension of all Band activities, effective immediately through the spring quarter of 2017, linked with new steps to address the structure and culture of the Band in the future.
As part of the existing travel ban, the Band was prohibited from traveling to the Big Game at the University of California, Berkeley, last month and had been informed that it would be unable to travel to the Sun Bowl on December 30.

Bands. Anyhow...

Attendees of the 2016 Hyundai Sun Bowl, get to watch Christian McCaffrey's final college football game. Remember, he was a finalist for the 2015 Heisman Trophy. Good football player. Enjoy,

Stanford's band was and is an embarrassment. The fact the university allowed it for so long was a head scratcher. A school's band should reflect the administration and it's alumni with dignity. Their band didn't.

What's next? NFL-bound players quitting during the season if they're on a team going nowhere?

Is this an insult to the Sun Bowl (and El Paso)? I'd have to think he'd be playing if Stanford were in a New Years bowl.

If he took the scholarship money this season, why wouldn't he be obligated to play? The coach and teammates are really on board with this?
 
Of course he'd play if it was a New Years bowl. I think this sucks for the fans that expected to watch him play and bs on his part.
