Sunday morning featured a flurry of bowl projections by experts around the country. Where do they have the Gophers going?
Remember that Minnesota is getting in only because they weren't enough teams with six victorites this season to fill all the spots in the 40 bowl games on the schedule. The Gophers are intent on going, so the question has switched to where they'll end up.
We'll know for sure by late afternoon, but here's a directory of potential landing sports and opponents.
Jerry Palm of CBSsports.com has Minnesota playing Pittsburgh in the Pinstripe Bowl on December 26 at Yankee Stadium.
Both of ESPN's college football experts have the Gophers in the Quick Lane Bowl on December 28 in Detroit, playing either Central Michigan or Pittsburgh.
SB Nation has the Gophers playing Duke in the Quick Lane Bowl.
FOXsports.com has Minnesota playing Central Michigan in the Quick Lane.
