Michigan to Outback Bowl

EDIT: It's official. Michigan to Outback Bowl where will play South Carolina

http://www.outbackbowl.com/

 

Adam Rittenberg reporting Nebraska to Capital One Bowl and Michigan likely to Outback Bowl.

Cap One pick basically done: Georgia-Nebraska. Expect Michigan to Outback and Northwestern to Gator. B1G avoids Johnny Football

Hearing the Big Ten, SEC leadership didn't want Nebraska and Georgia to fall too far after league title game losses.

RT : Now I'm hearing to Cap One vs ; to Cotton; SC to Outback and A&M to Chick-fil-A & Miss St to Gator

It's official: Nebraska to play in Capital One Bowl

RT : Source confirms: to the Gator Bowl. Opponent TBA.

But there is a difference between real reporting and some guy's projections. One thread is for potential bowl scenarios and the other is the actual bowl Michigan is going to.  I apologize if I caused too much board clutter, but I thought it deserved its own thread.

To be fair, they had one week's notice to make the trip from Nebraska to Indianapolis, which is not a short drive.

Maybe another way of looking at it is that if even Nebraska can't make it to Indy, maybe it's a bad idea to have the game there.

But even so, it's just not that easy to plan a roadtrip on such short notice, whether it's one week or three.  The bowls work (well, sort of) because they are around Christmas/New Year's, when a lot of people can get time off, and mostly in traditional vacation spots.  Getting time off to go to Indianapolis one week after Thanksgiving is probably tough for a lot of people - not to mention less enticing.

I doubt it. In Nebraska, football is the only break thing between tilling the fields. I'm kidding, but I'm still a little serious. They are gracious fans: I expect they may be discouraged by last night, but will not abandon their team. And they'll do anything to get out of Nebraska for a few days.

without Lattimore. But Clowney vs Lewan will be fun to watch. I don't know if their DTs against our interior line will be as fun. They also have a host of 6'4" recievers. Connor Shaw's passing ability is really suspect, though.

Kind of rediculous that Cap One is going with Nebraska if you take last night into consideration.

I know why they're doing it over NW but still their fans may not travel as well after the beatdown administered by Wisco.

That said I hope they somehow beat Georgie or whoever.

Here's hoping for a bright future. This team does try hard and I will continue to support them.

From Nebraska's point of view, what happened last night shouldn't have too much bearing on their bowl selection other than they didn't make the Rose Bowl. Nebraska beat Michigan and Northwestern, and it is hard to build a case for them slipping past the Capital One Bowl based on the results on the field.

If Michigan were in their position, I would be pissed if that happened to us. The loss last night does not invalidate the rest of their regular season.
