Tech needed 3 things to happen to get either Liberty or HOD Bowl:
1. #21 NIU to beat #16 Kent St (no BCS bid)
2. Oklahoma to beat TCU (get BCS bid)
3. Kansas St to beat Texas (get BCS bid)
By Saturday night, it had all happened like they wanted. If any of those 3 things didn't happen, they would have gone to the Independence Bowl. But they all happened.
The fly in the ointment was that NIU jumped from #21 to #16 and made the BCS game, knocking Oklahoma out of a BCS game. That shifted every Big XII team down 1 notch and Iowa St was invited to the Liberty Bowl.

Another factor. Iowa St. wanted to go to Liberty Bowl also, if possible. This year is the 40th Anniversary of Coach Johnny Majors taking the Cyclones to the Liberty Bowl. I personally don't know why that is a big deal considering ISU lost, finished 5-6-1 and Coach Majors moved on to Pitt. But to each his own.

FOUR things. You missed: Nebraska to not get 70 points put on them by a 7-5 team
