Hopefully the Gophers just win games and dont have to worry about what the other teams do. If MN wins out are they going to Florida? I assume 2-1 gets them to Nashville?

If MN wins out they’re either going to Florida or the playoff

2-1 they need Michigan or Iowa to make the playoff IMO to go to Florida

2-1 PROBABLY gets them Nashville or Vegas but it’s all placements so nobody knows

I think the lower levels including Nashville is kinda a crap shoot.

Decisions there seem a bit of a dice game.

Illinois has an easy route so I worry they'll swoop in ahead of us.

Current Standings (removing former Pac12 teams as they will likely go to Pac12 legacy bowls)
Indiana 9-0
Ohio State 8-0
Michigan 7-2
Iowa 6-2
Minnesota 6-3
Illinois 6-3
Nebraska 6-3
Northwestern 5-3 (@USC, Michigan, Minnesota, @Illinois)
Maryland 4-4 (@Rutgers, @Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State)
Rutgers 4-5 (Maryland, @Ohio State, Penn State)
Penn State 3-5 (Indiana, @Michigan State, Nebraska, @Rutgers)
Michigan State 3-6 (Penn State, @iowa, Maryland)
Wisconsin 2-6 (Washington, @Indiana, Illinois, @Minnesota)
Purdue 2-7


Big Ten bowls
Citrus (Orlando, FL): Iowa and Illinois ineligible Prediction: Michigan
Reliaquest (Tampa, FL): Michigan ineligible Prediction: Iowa
Las Vegas (Las Vegas, NV): Prediction: Illinois
Music City (Nashville, TN): Iowa ineligible Prediction: MInnesota
Pinstripe (New York, NY): Nebraska ineligible...Rutgers, Minnesota, Maryland have also been within last 8 years) Prediction: Northwestern
Rate Bowl (Phoenix, AZ): Rutgers ineligible Prediction: Nebraska
Sports Bowl (Detroit, MI): Prediction: Maryland/Rutgers winner

The Maryland vs Rutgers game is significant for that final bowl spot. If Rutgers can beat Maryland and get to eligibility, the conference can make a case that they should be moved above Rate Bowl AND Pinstripe due to recent visits, giving them an "undeserved" slot in Music City. That would mean Maryland or Minnesota has to repeat at Pinstripe with the other going to Rate Bowl. Ish. I guess I'm rooting for Maryland this weekend.

Does Vegas pick before Music City? The Las Vegas Bowl was a PAC 12 bowl prior to the new conference realignments and former PAC 12 teams still have a claim to being assigned in the former conference bowls. In some ways I wouldn't mind a rematch with CAL.

I believe Vegas picks before Music. But Music picks before Mayo. USC filled the Pac12 legacy role last year. This year it is supposed to be Pac12 vs B1G so I am assuming the Pac team will be one of the former members from BigXII or ACC

MN isn't making the playoff even winning out.
Oregon has zero good wins right now. They'll add some beating Iowa (which would hurt our SOR), USC, and Wash if they win, but a horrific loss to Iowa, a loss to near .500 Cal and a non-competitive one to OSU will eliminate us

The kicker would be if we made the B10 title game somehow.

The issue now is there's severe lack of H2H in comps so bowls will have full bandwidth to take whoever really. If the games go as they should, I'd guess Vegas or Music City. I don'tknow anymore which bowl was formerly named what so I just hope we don't draw another fucking MAC game and maybe it'll work out I could use it as a bullshit reason to go somewhere random lol

I agree but I also think 9-3 Minnesota would be ranked higher than you think

Last season, in the Alamo Bowl (a PAC 12 bowl), the matchup was between Brigham Young and Colorado and they were both in the Big 12. So, it is possible they could take two teams from the same conference in a PAC 12 bowl.

Interesting Vegas bowl matchups would be Mn vs Washington or Mn vs USC
