[NU Sports] Projected standings after week 12/Bowl projection

[Jim Bendat]

Looks like the Capital One bowl was left out. If Ohio State gets a BCS bid (which is arguable), the MSU goes to the Capital One, winner of Iowa/Minn goes to Outback (if we don't get it), then we're up for next bowl.

>Penn State        11-1 (win over Michigan State)

>Illinois                   5-7 (loss to Northwestern)
>Purdue                 4-8 (win over Indiana)
>Michigan              3-9 (loss to Ohio State)
>Indiana                  3-9 (loss to Purdue)

>Given this scenario, these are the my bowl projections. I think Iowa will jump us to go to San Antonio based on their traveling fan base. I also think Wisconsin will jump Minnesota for the same reason. If we lose this weekend and end up 8-4, I think we still play in Orlando.

>Penn State: Rose
>Ohio State:  BCS at large
>Michigan State: Outback Bowl
>Iowa: Alamo Bowl
>NU: Champs Sports Bowl
>Wisconsin: Insight Bowl
>Minnesota: Motor City Bowl

>Who would our opponent be in the Champs Sports Bowl? It's an ACC selection, but I can't find the selection criteria on the web.
