Holiday Bowl: Colorado vs. Minnesota

Other Big Ten Teams/Bowls:
Quick Lane Bowl: Indiana vs. Eastern Michigan
Pinstripe Bowl: Miami vs. Maryland
Foster Farms Bowl: Utah vs. Northwestern
Music City Bowl: Kentucky vs. Iowa
Outback Bowl: Nebraska vs. Florida
Orange Bowl: Louisville vs. Wisconsin
Cotton Bowl: Penn State vs. Western Michigan
Rose Bowl: Michigan vs. Washington State
Fiesta Bowl: Clemson vs. Ohio State (playoff)

One of the popular thoughts I've been seeing lately is 4 B10 teams in the "BCS" bowls with the addition of Penn State into that mix.

Oh gawd yes San Diego please!

Win the next two games, and it could be the Outback Bowl in Tampa.

I'd like to aim higher than that.

I'm just going by location. I'll worry about the other stuff game day.

Win the next 4 and we'll be in the playoff...

Not sure a Gopher 2 loss team makes a playoff even if we win over an undefeated Michigan...

If the B10 gets 4 to the top tier, I see Outback having a hard time not taking Nebraska, considering they haven't been there yet & Nebraska out in SD two years ago.

But it would definitely make things interesting for sure. I love the higher profile matchup, but I'm honestly cool with Tampa, San Diego or Nashville. Santa Clara brings up the rear, but still not a bad consolation. I'd do my best to go to any of those, along with NY.

You would get a lot of Gopher fans traveling to San Diego. 4-5 hour drive from Tucson and Phoenix.
