Week 13 Bowl Projections Thread

[fmlizard]

Wouldn’t that make it 8 P5 wins when you include Colorado and our B1G record?

you are correct. 8 P5 wins would equal 2019 for the most in the modern history of the program.

7-5 Penn State to the outback bowl is pure reputation. What a fu-----g joke.

7-5 Penn State to the outback bowl is pure reputation. What a fu-----g joke.

they are looking to sell more tickets. which is odd because Minnesota has far outdrawn Auburn and Mizzou at their last 2 Florida bowls.

Arkansas and Minnesota could have pushed close to a sellout in Tampa.

 

[RogueGopher]

Wow. Can't wait to run WVU out of the building. Won't be close. Get the trophy case ready I guess.

 

[pharmacygopher]

I cheer for the B1G in bowls (not so much iowa or wisconsin) but I hope PSU gets demolished.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Congrats, PJ, you got to the bowl that Brewster went to twice and got Mase fired.

 

[gopher8]

Iowa was #15 in the rankings. They can't be too happy either.

They're in the Citrus Bowl...

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Vegas?

 

[GoForGold]

Iowa and Iowa State going to Orlando, different bowls.

 

[GopherFanatic19]

I think that’s out of PJs hands

 

[ZPI]

Congrats, PJ, you got to the bowl that Brewster went to twice and got Mase fired.

Congrats, PJ, you got MN it's best season (2019) since the 60's and the Axe at home for the first time in almost 20 years.

I know. Gotta be disappointed though.

Well… some of our guys won’t be playing…

 

[JWG]

And PJ earned better. The others didn’t. This is a farce.

Penn State to Outback is a joke, but half the blame for that lies with us. Don’t pucker and lose to Bowling Green and Illinois. We put ourselves in a position to be screwed and we got screwed.

Total sham for a 4-5 Big Ten team getting a NYD Bowl over a team that went 6-3.

Two 6-3 teams.

 

[MGGopher]

Total sham for a 4-5 Big Ten team getting a NYD Bowl over a team that went 6-3.

Over THREE teams that went 6-3

Pretty sure Penn St lost to Illinois too. Hard to believe our loss to Bowling Green outweighs PSUs losing record in conference.

 

[stocker08]

Two 6-3 teams.

Correct. But if the rumors are all true.....at least Purdue and Wisconsin got decent bowls.

How did PSU fare against Illinois?

 

[Cayman]

Looks like a local guy. In other words....probably no real source of any kind.

He has some connection with the athletic department. I think he knew about the PJ Fleck hire before most others did.

 

[GoForGold]

Correct. But if the rumors are all true.....at least Purdue and Wisconsin got decent bowls.

Yeah, and three including the Gophers. I forgot about Purdue.

 

[GoForGold]

Head-to-head matchups look meaningless with these picks so far.

Straight up records look irrelevant

Again!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

I want to beat an SEC team.

Okay Texas and Oklahoma!

People's perceptions of Minnesota won't change until you change their perceptions. That will take more than one year.
The COVID issues we had last year turned into a lost season, but some of those perceptions carry through even though we hit a 8 win season.

Iowa getting blown out last night did absolutely ZERO to help Minnesota in bowl selection. As long as we are taking 2nd place to a team who performs like that with the whole nation watching, I'd select a Penn State team as well.

Let's quick acting like we got jobbed when we all watched Iowa last night, a team we lost to.

 

[Spoofin]

So, down to PHX and LV for MN and WI

Penn State also lost to Iowa
