per Joe:
Rick Catlett has been the Gator Bowl’s executive director for 21 years, and he views the Gophers as an intriguing possibility for that New Year’s Day game in Jacksonville, Fla.
“I think any time a team does as well as they have, it certainly gets people’s attention,” Catlett said. “We started paying closer attention to them at midseason.”
“The bowl thing — nobody can predict that,” Gophers coach Jerry Kill said. “But that’s not what’s important to us right now. Our focus is on Michigan State.”
The bowls don’t have to pick teams based on won-loss records, but an upset Saturday would improve Minnesota’s résumé. To put it differently, it could save the Gophers from falling to the bottom of the Big Ten’s bowl pecking order.
