The problem is MN would have to go to a big ten bowl, probably Detroit if they are in. If you want to send navy to Hawaii if they win, you would have to have another team involved that wouldn't know if they should pack for Hawaii or Detroit because Detroit would have an opening if you pulled MN...

The one that has them in New Mexico doesn't have a big ten team in the quick lane. I would think if we are eligible we'd have to go to one with big ten affiliation unless those are all full.

If it wasn't for a miracle finish by Old Dominion this afternoon, we'd already be locked in. They forced a safety when their l the opponent was up 7 trying to run out the clock. Then got a TD on the last play of the game.

This is where I've been getting info, he says we need 1 loss by cal or CSU.

Northwestern winning gives it a chance. 77 in at this point + Jax, James Madison. Need the 7 games with 5 win teams to go 2 and 5 or worse. Byu in ot right now. Wash st tied with wash. Florida, s Carolina, s Florida, cal and CSU are the others. Only CSU and s Florida are favored.

It looks like 11 of the teams are favored, but most of them are small favorites. There are 6 teams that are pretty big underdogs. Navy, BYU, Wash St, Florida, South Carolina and Cal are all a TD or more underdogs.

By my count, there are now 69 + James Madison and Jax. There are still 17 games with teams that are 5-6 that aren't the gophers. MN would need those teams to be 10-7 or worse if they lose. If 11 win MN would need to do it on their own.

By my count, there are now 68 eligible + Jax St and James Madison that would be in before us. There are 22 non-gopher teams that could get teams there. If they go 11-11, we would be in at 5-7. If they go 12-10, we would have to win and get eligible ourselves. I still don't know how Navy would...

According to a USA today story (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2023/11/20/college-football-bowl-eligibility-picture/71648714007/) and a couple of others I've seen, there are 67 right now, not 68. Also, Army isn't eligible if they get to 6 wins because 2 of their wins are against FCS...

According to this article from when he got the extension, it only drops from 1.75 to 1.5 if you wait until April 30th. I wouldn't wait that long for $250K. Richard Pitino agrees to two-year extension with Gophers | FOX Sports
