[NU Sports] Bowling for Bowden?

[Jonathan Hodges]

Regarding the Outback - they took Auburn because they've had Tennessee in
two of the past three years, while Auburn hasn't been there since 1996
(actually they've picked an SEC East team in each of the previous 12
seasons).  I doubt the SEC opponent will have much of an effect on the Big
Ten selection, and it's hard to doubt that Wisconsin will be their pick.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the ACC bowl picture with the
Champs almost definitely NU's destination.  Being on the other end of a
Bowden send-off would really detract from the actual game (especially for
the opponent) and I hope that happens elsewhere (although he's an all-time
great and deserves a nice send-off).
