Love the idea of Alamo v. Washington St. A school from the other side of the country we've never played is always interesting, plus the Leach v. Holgorsen angle would give everyone plenty of built-in drama.

And the Alamo Bowl has the first pick after the CFP/NY6 bowls in the Big XII selection order. Alamo is a vote of confidence in WVU from Sporting News. I think it would be safe to say that the others consider WVU is at least a two loss team.

Yes................the Alamo Bowl looks good to me. Great town with great atmosphere!

Just win baby!!!!! I do not want to play an ACC team in Orlando. SEC or P12 is great. no ACC.

I like this match-up with Colorado. Would also love to pound the crap out of VT in a bowl.

I don't ever again want to waste a bowl on a regional rival that we already played for decades (i.e. Maryland or Syracuse), but especially not VT this year. We open with them next September. Two games in a row against the same team would be a drag.

Give me WVU vs Miami anytime.

I would love to see WVU smash the Hurricanes.

I have a blind hatred for Miami.
