per Charlie:
There is probably not a single player on Minnesota’s or Michigan’s roster you know anything about. OK, maybe the Wolverines’ Shea Patterson because he was in the SEC once, at Ole Miss.
Unless you're a big Big Ten fan and we know snow birds do come through on the way to Florida. Not that all snow birds are Big Ten fans.
Otherwise, the two names that jump off the page when No. 12 Auburn (9-3) meets No. 18 Minnesota (10-2) in the Jan. 1 Outback Bowl and No. 13 Alabama (10-2) faces No. 14 Michigan (9-3) in the Jan. 1 Citrus are the head coaches, Minnesota's P.J. Fleck and Michigan's Jim Harbaugh.
Thanks to the World Wide Network, the 39-year-old Fleck has become famous for resurrecting Western Michigan and Minnesota and bringing "Row the Boat" into your living room.
Harbaugh? He’s just hard to like. When he’s lost to Ohio State, his biggest rival, all five years he’s been in Ann Arbor, his approval rating isn’t good.
Now if his team upsets seven-point favorite Alabama, that'll change. That would be a signature win. He doesn't have many of those. Beating Notre Dame 45-14 this year -- the Irish were ranked No. 8 and the Wolverines were unranked -- is probably the leader in the signature clubhouse.
If seven-point favorite Auburn loses to the Gophers, Tiger fans won't be terribly disappointed because their team hung an astounding 48 points on their biggest rival in the Iron Bowl, beating Alabama 48-45.
A victory over Minnesota, now that would be sweet. It would be the third time in Gus Malzahn's seven years the Tigers finished with double digit wins.

Auburn’s motivation? A 10-win season; Is Tide inspired?
