Q: Big Ten and Bowl Tie-Ins

[letitrip2]

Not sure if this has been asked recently - but there is a pretty good chance that only 8 B1G teams finish the season bowl eligible. Also a decent chance that 3 teams (OSU, PSU and Michigan) play in either the playoff or get a news year days bid. That would leave 5 B1G teams for seven bowls. Does anyone know how that would impact bowl selection for those 5 teams?

I think the Gator can pick an ACC team instead of a BIG one. Outside of that my guess is Quicklane and Pinstripe would have last picks/be out of luck in your scenario.

The Reliaquest is likely to go away if the B1G gets a playoff spot plus 2 NYD bowl spots for Michigan, OSU and PSU.

The rest in order are:

citrus
Las Vegas
Music City
pinstripe
Guaranteed Rate
Quick Lane

Dammit that’s why I put “NY6/Orange or Old Outback” but meant to add “Guaranteed Rate.” That game not be called “Outback” is ****ing with me.

I thought the citrus is the pop tarts bowl now?

Actually I think it might have something to do with Cheez-It’s now.

How about Reliaquest in Tampa? B1G website says that the conference has seven tie ins. Why would the Reliaquest “go away”. B1G website does not reflect that.

The B1G gets one NYD bowl bid automatically. I think it is the Rose when that isn’t a playoff bowl.

Also, the Orange has a deal where it picks between the B1G, the ACC, and Notre Dame. Part of the deal is that if the Orange picks a B1G team, the B1G gives up their Reliaquest spot.

Everyone is assuming that Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State will all get Playoff or NYD spots and the Reliaquest will be gone..

Thanks - that answers my question - and it differs from the Big Ten website I posted earlier. The "/" means something.
