Rather be going to a bowl than sit on my butt here. Don't care where.

Pretty excited to find out where. I look at it as kicking off the next season... same easy schedule with Sunshine and I see 9 or 10 wins. Going to be great season.
Sunshine isn't going to be here, if by some rare chance he is, he will not see the field.

Doesn't care about the bowl, admittedly won't watch, actively rooting to get blown out…
Me thinks you're not a Hawk fan at all. Perhaps you would prefer hanging out at CyFan?

Having a team in the playoffs would have been the ideal scenario, I think OSU winning last night helps the B1G with the bowl matchups. Not every team is "playing up" in their matchups (although matchups this year will be paired a little better). At least this way maybe the conference can post a better bowl record.
I'd also add a slash to Iowa's option of being Nashville OR Jacksonville. I think the driving distance to the destination would be appealing to most fans not posting here.

illinois is probably the odd team out that wont get a bowl. Rutgers, MD and PSU will get bowls before Illinois for political reasons.
Living in Nashville, rumor is that they are going ACC this bowl season, with Louisville, probably on the board for the Music City Bowl.
Louisville-Nashville is 3 hours. Close enough to sell tickets and far enough to sell hotel rooms.
Michigan State is going to the Cotton Bowl, against Baylor. so the Citrus/Orange is still open for a big Ten.
Wisconsin probably to Citrus.
Nebraska to Outback.
Minnesota to Gator.
Iowa to Holiday.
It's either San Diego or Santa Clara, against a Pac-12 team, like Arizona State, UCLA, or Stanford.
Holiday is before Gator and will take Minnesota. Iowa to Jacksonville.
With the state of the Iowa football program and the fact the fan base is not in a good spot, I see Detroit in Iowa's future. The only thing appealing about Iowa is the fact the fans have traveled very well to past bowls. Don't see it happening this year.
With that said, what time will all bowl assignments be final?

KirFer has one of his legendary pressers scheduled for 6 pm, so I would say just shortly before then.

I'll have his presser for him:
"We're obviously thrilled to be selected by xxx bowl, great tradition, couldnt be more excited. Obviously xxx is a really tough opponent and we'll have our work cut out for us."

Kentucky media reporting that Louisville will go to Music City. That would result in @taxslayerbowl going Big Ten vs. SEC.

It might pique my interest if Kirk named CJB the starter for the game so we could look forward to him being the starter next year but short of that, it's probably the who-cares bowl for me.

Both Nebraska and Wisconsin went to Florida last year. Nebraska has never been to Tampa though and Wisconsin hasn't been to San Diego.
