Assuming Capital One Bowl
Michigan is almost a lock for the Capital One Bowl, even if Nebraska loses to Wisconsin, as Nebraska went there last season. The opponent? Since Florida is in the top 4 of the BCS standings, the loser of the SEC Championship Game loses out on a BCS bid and will go to the Cap One. Alabama rematch anyone?

The aforementioned SEC teams other than Alabama will not be as tough as many think. They might be good teams in this "overall down year", but they are nothing spectacular, what-so-ever. A&M would, I admit, be a very tough draw, as they are playing on a level right now that could compete for a national title, but that we know won't be happeneing. LSU, Florida, or Georgia in my humble opinion would be great matchups and very winnable. If one wants to make the arguement that we don't stand a chance because our OC sucks, I could accept that. With an overall healthy team and a team that plays the way they're capable of playing (not the effort but the scheme the coaches give, i.e. on the offensive side of the ball), they can hang with the SEC "big boys".

I honestly don't see it. Yea they put up 37 on an overrated Florida St. team yesterday but they've also played some doosie's in a few of their other games. I don't think the maojority of the SEC is all it's cracked up to be. This is on quite a bit of viewership as well. I'm not the biggest football expert but I'm not spitting conjecture based off of nothing. I think those SEC teams (minus Bama and Texas A&M to some extent) are matchups Michigan can handle.

I'm honeymooning in Orlando so that we can go witness our first bowl game. We switched from CA to FL after the Nebraska loss...

Congratulations!

Is there any way we can play Kentucky?
November 25th, 2012 at 3:00 AM ^
when they've put together a Top-10 season.
So we've got that goin' for us.

I think there's a possibility that the B1G just gets killed during the bowl season:

Michigan v. Georgia isn't a terrible matchup. It's about the only non-terrible matchup, but still. Hey, if we go to Tampa, maybe we could do this with our tickets next season

If it is Georgia they are going to be severely lacking in motivation after losing out on a chance at the title game.

Georgia did lose to MSU in a bowl game last year. They also almost lost to Kentucky this year. Yes Alabama did smash MSU that year, but another Alabama team also got smashed by a Utah team a few years ago in a BCS bowl.

Johnny Football honestly scares me. The kid is amazing. Would love to take him on though. Maybe see Frank or Jibreel break though for a smack. Jake Ryan would be even more awesome. But I like the LSU matchup a lot. I'd love to see Les Miles postgame after a loss to the school he played for. That would end in a GIFs galore.

If Wisconsin beats Nebraska:
Wisconsin to Rose Bowl
Nebraska to Capital One
Michigan to Outback
November 25th, 2012 at 3:29 PM ^
UW vs Stanford or ucla
Nebraska vs Georgia or Bama
Michigan vs LSU or S. Carolina
Blood bath!!
November 25th, 2012 at 3:32 PM ^
Rose: Nebraska vs PAC 12
Capital one: Michigan vs. Georgia/LSU
Outback: whiskey vs. S.Carolina/Georgia or LSU
Gator: NW vs S.Carolina
November 25th, 2012 at 1:20 PM ^
Any chance Capital One takes them over us?
November 25th, 2012 at 1:23 PM ^
Only SEC opponent I feel comfortable playing is Auburn at this point.
TAMU - Manziel -Hurry Up Offense-D. Moore
Georgia - too much talent on both sides of the ball for us to hang
Bama - moar vincent smith I-form runs?
Florida - O Line is manhandling EVERYONE -top ranked defense
November 25th, 2012 at 3:16 PM ^
Georgia, LSU, Or South Carolina is most likely. Bama re-match no gonna happen. No one would watch it. If Bama loses, I bet they push us to either outback or gator to avoid that scenario.
Citrus is still most likely. Outback as fall back, gator if things get real weird like Nebraska and Bama losses.
November 25th, 2012 at 1:45 PM ^
matter. I want to see Michigan play a decent opponent. If they lose they lose. I want to see UGA in particular. I have always fancied their helmets.
November 25th, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
Bowls hate rematches so I really doubt Bama is an option
November 25th, 2012 at 2:53 PM ^
that Borges is able to figure out how to properly use Denard and Devin before the bowl game. So unless we hold our opponent under 20 I don't see how we avoid our 5th season of 5 or more losses in the last 8 seasons.
November 25th, 2012 at 3:21 PM ^
If UW wins they go to rose. Nebraska most likely would go to outback but citrus still by contract can take them. They have first choice. Likely, no, probable, yes.
NW and us are candidates for pretty much all the Florida NYD bowl games. Citrus is most likely for us, but they have first choice and we may land in any of those games.
