According to my 17 'bowl projectors', they currently are saying:
6 for Pizza in Detroit (ESPN - Edwards, CBS - Palm, BTN - Dienhart, SI - Mandel, NBC, and Athlon)
3 are saying Ticket City in Dallas (ESPN - Rittenberg, Orlando Sentinel, and Phil Steele)
3 are saying Texas in Houston (ESPN - Schlabach, Sun Times - Gould, and Tribune - Teddy G)
2 are saying New Mexico in Albuquerque (Scout and College Football News)
and 3 are saying 'NO BOWL' (St Pete Times, College Bowl Projections, and USA Today - Smith)
I hope that the Houston predictions are correct, though Dallas was fun last year.

Remember that in the B1G the bowl payouts go to the conference, not the
individual schools.
A google search of "bowl projections" has >50% of the sites predicting NU
in San Francisco on New Year's Eve. Also of interest, one site predicting
New Orleans in mid-December. That could be fun and certainly easier with
the flights and costs, being a little off-season.
