Now that we found a way to lose to Cockeye, where are we headed? Detroit?
 
We need all 4 B1G teams to get into the Cfp. It’s early but OSU and Illinois in close games. We need 6 win teams to lose. Minnesota most likely going to charlotte after winning yesterday. Michigan has been a lock to NY bowl because they have more alumni there than in MI. That could change if they get a W. Rivalry games can be fluky as we certainly know. 💔
 
We can jump teams with 1 more win than us in the bowl pecking order which is why we’ve been linked to Nashville. Music City bowl could still select either Michigan or Minnesota but to @Ghost of Devaney point, both UM and the B1G would like to send Michigan to NYC given their alumni base there. It seems very very likely we’re headed to Nashville now, with Cockeye in Tampa after beating us last night

I can’t imagine a scenario where Illinois has a shot in hell making the playoff.
 
As I understand it, the order the bowls get to pick is:
A. Playoff teams - OSU, Oregon, PSU, and Indy
B. Former PAC teams play in former PAC bowl games - USC, Washington

1. Citrus against SEC - Illinois
2. ReliaQuest against SEC - lowa
3. Mayo against ACC - Minnesota or Michigan
4. Music City against SEC - Michigan or Minnesota or Nebraska
5. Pinstripe against ACC - Nebraska or Michigan
6. Rate Bowl vs Big XII - Rutgers (they can’t play in pinstripe again)
7. Quick Lane vs MAC - No one left
 
The flights to Nashville from Omaha have gone up since I checked last week for the weekend of the 28th
So, I think people are already booking those
I should have last week & cancelled if necessary
 
I’d prefer going to phoenix and playing a big 12 team, but I’m sure Nashville will chompin at the bit to sell Nebraska fans tickets so my money would be on that.
