Only one new bowl game this week.
Eric Single at Sports Illustrated has Buffalo at the Quick Lane Bowl, playing Wake Forest in Detroit.
The MAC has the backup agreement for the event and a few things are converging to make it look like the Big10 is going to be short on their bowl allotment.
- Despite themselves the Big Ten may place a team in the CFB bowls
- Right now the B1G only has eight eligible teams for their nine bowls
Of the teams not eligible six can still get in but there is some cross over play and some games against
- Minnesota is 5-5 and will need to beat either Northwestern or Wisconsin
- Purdue is 5-5 and will need to beat either Wisconsin or Indiana
- Indiana is 5-5 and will need to beat either Michigan or Purdue
- Maryland is 5-5 and will need to beat either Ohio State or Penn State
So if you want the quick lane you want Minnesota to lose out and Wisconsin to win out.
