"It's important to note that the bowls that make their selections after Outback have very few restrictions in picking eligible Big Ten teams. It's conceivable that a 6-6 team could go to the Insight Bowl or Gator Bowl ahead of an 8-4 team.
Emphasis mine, because this is exactly the situation Minnesota could be facing if they don't win either of their two remaining games. This is the last year of the current structure of bowl selection before new rules are implemented next season, but for this year it's conceivable they could get passed up by a team with a worse record like Iowa or Michigan."
