I'm looking at that list and thinking, "We've played NC State in a bowl game. We've played ND in a bowl game. We've played Louisville in one of the biggest games in our team's history. But, you know what ... we haven't played Clemson in a bowl game. That sounds good!"
The Mayo Bowl would be great. I know folks are not excited about playing in Detroit. The bowls are so confusing this year because the PAC-12 bowl slots can (will?) be filled by all the former PAC-12 schools ( currently sitting on a gaudy 26-2 record).
