Bowl question

[Arnold Babar]

Just looking at the standings.
There is a scenario that the Gophers finish with 7 wins while USC, Nebraska, Michigan, and Wisconsin all finish with 6 overall wins. How many teams can jump us in the bowl selection process?

As many as they want is my understanding. They just want fans there

The "Pair and a Spare" podcast crew discussed this on their last episode. from what they said, the conference plays a very active role in 'helping' slot teams into bowls. apparently they divide eligible teams up into tiers and then work their way through the bowls that have B1G tie-ins.

but there are a number of bowls with restrictions - for example, Bowl X says they want at least 4 different teams in a 6-year span and things like that.

and the bowl committees supposedly have their 'favorite' teams. Gaard (if you believe him) says he knows someone connected with the Music City Bowl who is not a fan of the Gophers.

all the Gophers can do is to win as many games as possible. that's where the North Carolina and Rutgers games really hurt. if the Gophs were 8-2 instead of 6-4, they would be looking at some nice bowl possibilities. but if they finish 6-6 or 7-5, that drops them way down the pecking order.

I’m curious to know what could’ve went down that the Music City Bowl would have beef with the Gophers. We haven’t even been to that bowl in like 2 decades.
