Where are we Bowling?

Thought a list of teams similar to Huskers would be interesting at a glance for a slight/possible match-up.

Current list of every team (without B1G representation) 
Teams that are 7-4 that could finish 7-5 with a loss
Teams that are 6-5 that could finish 7-5 or 6-6
Teams that are 5-6 that could finish 6-6

Teams currently 7-4......
Pitt
GA Southern
Connecticut
TX Christian
GA Tech
Buffalo 
West Kentucky
Colorado State
Louisiana State (LSU)
TX Tech
Baylor
Louisville
Bowling Grn
Miami OH
Toledo 
Arkansas State
E Carolina

Teams currently 6-5....
Florida
S Florida
TX State
San Jose St
Oklahoma
N Carolina
Boston Col
California
Nor Illinois
Vanderbilt
Fresno St
S Alabama
Arkansas
UTX San Anton
W Virginia
App State

Teams currently 5-6 - need to win one more game
NC State
W Michigan
Kansas
Coastal Caro
Auburn
UNT North TX
UL Monroe
E Michigan
New Mexico
Vir Tech
Cincinnati
Oregon St
Virginia

It's also possible they (B1G) recommend we play an 8 win team or a big name team (G4) in that list.  I don't think the Huskers will play a bowl game against South Alabam or Toledo.  I can see us going up against any of the Big 12 teams or SEC (LSU, Arkansas, Vandy, OU, Florida).

Nebraska will be in a bowl a rung above our record. Better to look at 8-3/9-2 teams. Although someone could pick an Oklahoma match up.

Big Ten Bowl Ties, Affiliations


https://collegefootballnews.com/predictions/college-football-bowl-ties-affiliations-for-each-conference-2024-2025

Consider it a mortal lock that the Big Ten champion is in the College Football Playoff, and almost certainly with one of the top four spots with a bye.

The Big Ten alternates with the SEC between the Las Vegas Bowl and Duke's Mayo Bowl. Last season Northwestern beat Utah in the Las Vegas, so assume the Big Ten will be in the Duke's Mayo.

One other twist: the former Pac-12 teams - Oregon, UCLA, USC, Washington - will remain eligible for the former Pac-12 bowl ties and affiliations. That means if any of those four aren't in the College Football Playoff, they'll be eligible for the Alamo, Independence, Holiday, LA, Las Vegas, and Sun bowls, before any Big 10 Bowls. 

- Cheez-It Citrus Bowl vs SEC 
- ReliaQuest Bowl vs SEC 
- Duke's Mayo Bowl vs ACC
- Music City Bowl vs SEC
- Pinstripe Bowl vs ACC 
- Guaranteed Rate Bowl vs Big 12
- GameAbove Sports Bowl vs MAC

5-7 records to fill the remaining spots, selected based on APR (Academic Progress Rate).

  1. Northwestern, 4-7
  2. Cincinnati, 5-6
  3. Wisconsin, 5-6
  4. Air Force, 4-7
  5. Wake Forest, 4-7
  6. Auburn, 5-6
  7. Virginia, 5-6
  8. NC State, 5-6
  9. Utah, 4-7 (tie)
 
I have a friend in Nashville who knows people on the Music City Bowl Committee that say we are their top pick from the Big Ten, Makes sense for them monetarily because we travel so well. Hope its Nashville!

We're going to be every bowl's top B1G pick likely, if they're allowed to pick us. That's why we will likely be facing an 8 or 9 win team.

Iowa/Nebraska is for an invite to Tampa (assuming B10 gets 4 into the playoffs).  Illinois will get the citrus and then the winner of iowa/Nebraska will get Tampa since neither of us has been there in a while.  Nebraska won't fall below nashville and that was a really fun bowl to go to.  Lots of stuff to do.

Nashville is one of my favorite cities, I have been 4 times now for work and with friends.   Always something going on.  I love being able to listen to live music at 2 pm on a Tuesday.

Yes, of all the cities that have been listed, Nashville would be my first choice to go to as a fan.  It's not going to be the warmest though.
