IF we finish with only 6 wins....


Maryland and Penn State need to go 2-0 to be in a Bowl.
Maryland plays Michigan/MSU and PSU plays Nebraska/Rutgers.

Rutgers needs one win and plays tOSU and PSU

Northwestern needs one win and play MN and ILL

10 teams are Bowl Eligible and possibly 1-2 more make it.

3 likely in the playoff with IN, tOSU and winner of Oregon and USC. (Close game won by USC and maybe 4 teams)

That's about 9 Spots to put teams .

Los Angeles for PAC12 tie in of possibly Washington
Alamo possibly USC/Oregon if not in playoff
Detroit
Rate in Phoenix
Pinstripe
Music City
RaliaQuest Tampa
Citrus
Las Vegas

Minnesota is only B1G team to be to Detroit in last 7 years. Would be surprised to send us there again. Especially if PSU, Rutgers and Northwestern aren't eligible.
 

Is there any way we don't end up in Detroit for the bowl.game ???
I'm not sure there's going to be enough eligible teams for the big ten to fill the Detroit game? Even if NW beats us to get to six, Penn State could lose to Nebraska and beat Rutgers and neither team would go bowling. With that said that would be very disappointing and I would be eating a lot of crow if we lose to NW and Wisconsin
 

Remember, all the old Pac-12 teams still have those tie-ins, so leave out Washington & USC when making your bowl determinations.

If the Gophers end up 6-6, the following teams would be Bowl Eligible (leaving out Indiana & Ohio State, who are playoff bound)

Michigan - Citrus
Iowa - Winner of Black Friday game to Reliaquest
Nebraska - Loser of Black Friday game to Vegas (if Nebraska beats PSU)
Illinois - Music City
Northwestern - Pinstripe
Minnesota - Rate

If they go 1-1 (lose to NU, beat WI) they still go to the Rate
If they go 2-0, maybe Vegas or Music City. But probably still Rate. Maybe it won't rain before they cover the roof this time.
