According to Pierre Noujaim of Fox 9, it's trending toward the Duke's Mayo Bowl.
Source with #Gophers football tells me it’s likely the team will be heading to Charlotte for the Duke’s Mayo Bowl on Jan 3. Nothing definitive yet but it’s trending in that direction
Duke has such a small fanbase when it comes to football, and even the casual Tar Heel fan will not support Duke any more than Gopher fans would support their big rivals. The Gophers could still bring more fans to Charlotte in this case.
I never knew there even was a Northwestern State until I saw this schedule. I assume that's a win. This looks like a fairly easy schedule until the last two games.
Well, when it comes to Rutgers at least, most are picking them for the Rate Bowl against Texas Tech.

I think the South Carolina/Clemson game will be of interest. If the Gamecocks win it could send Clemson to the Mayo Bowl. Could it be a matchup with the Gophers?
It really didn't surprise me at all. It's happened to the Gophers many times. We dominate in all statistical categories, except turnovers, and somehow lose.
