Either is fine with me - who would have dreamed of this scenario last summer? And I really would be happy if Miznoz is stuck in Birmingham.At this point, is it pretty much assured that it’s either Tampa or Nashville? And if so, what do we all think the chances of either are?

The consensus bowl projections seem to have this option as the main probably destination and matchup. I welcome it!Tampa.....vs S. Carolina...
That's what I'm hoping for, but thought the chances were slim, at best.Citrus
My best guess is a rematch in the Citrus Bowl.I believe the last Illinois Football game vs the SEC was LSU in the 2002 Sugar Bowl (L 34-47).
And of course, the school wants the better bowl and better destination of Florida. Glad to see it.
Really? You think so? I was also in the camp that thought that this was a very low probability.Citrus
No Bama. Sec has 3 teams in top 6. Would been interesting 12 team playoff
If this were to come true, how much of an impact, if any, do you think Purdue's performance last night had on this selection?Citrus
Yes.Really? You think so? I was also in the camp that thought that this was a very low probability.
Yesterday’s game played a huge factor in bowl destinationsIf this were to come true, how much of an impact, if any, do you think Purdue's performance last night had on this selection?
I would think Citrus Bowl Committee would think Illinois has a better chance at keeping game competitive, as shown by Illini and Purdue performances against Michigan, respectively; as well as fan base traveling of course.
Could care less about Mizzou.Brett McMurphy has Illini playing Mississippi State in ReliaQuest Bowl. Both ESPN.com projections also have Illinois in Reliaquest Bowl facing either Arkansas or South Carolina.
For those asking, Mizzou is either projected to be in the Gasparilla Bowl (Former St. Petersburg Bowl now played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa) against Wake Forest or in the Birmingham Bowl vs. Syracuse.
I really want a January 2 bowl for the team and recruiting, but I hate the thoughts of playing LSU. I still have nightmares from my Bourbon Street experiences before the 02 Sugar Bowl. Talk about your awful fan bases.Yes.
