One of my coworkers went to Tennessee, so I hope we play A&M or someone else instead in the Citrus or ReliaQuest Bowl

Thinking about B1G bowls, we really need to have non-CFP bowls in California and Texas too. Gotta have a presence in the good recruiting states and areas where Midwesterners retire to.

Why? Is it because you like your coworker so much that you donā€™t want to beat their team?

Good point, Dan. Ignore the scheduling problem and let Illinois play in each Big Ten Bowl tie-in.

Possibly a hot take but I would rather play Tennessee than South Carolina in a bowl. Both have insane pass rushing units, but I see a greater likelihood that UTK's pass rushers sitting out for the draft while South Carolina's guys would likely play.

I selfishly want the Citrus Bowl because my 5 year old loves Cheez-Its and I'm hopeful that sponsorship might be just the opening I need to wrangle control of the TV.

Or you can buy a bunch of boxes of Cheez-Its and you and your 5 year old can munch on them while watching the game.

I would love to have the opportunity to get blown out by a top tier SEC team in the Citrus bowl or Reliaquest Bowl.

If they're a top tier SEC team, it's likely most of their good players won't even play...making a blowout less likely.

Wrong. You actually need the opportunity for a full year of "braggin' rights" !!

What are the ā€œceilingsā€? Win both: CFP or Citrus. Win one: Reliacooter Lose both: Mayo or SnoopDogg bowl

You have a 5 year old, the Illini would be playing in Orlando, and you're planning to watch from home? :)

If Indiana loses to Ohio State by a big margin, say 42 points, and then follows that up with a narrow win at Purdue, are they still in the playoffs?
