QuickLane Bowl - December 26 - Finally, Purdue can realize the dream of beating three Directionals Michigan in the Detroit Bowl under three different names (applies only if we face Eastern Michigan as the MAC rep). Guaranteed Rate Bowl - December 27 - Another baseball stadium! This time it is in a desert at the home of the Diamondbacks against a Big 12 team Pinstripe Bowl - December 29 - Who doesn’t want to play in another baseball stadium, this time in late December? This would be against an ACC opponent in Yankee Stadium. TransPerfect Music City Bowl - December 31 - We’re quite familiar with this game, but it is extremely unlikely we would face an SEC team in Nashville for the third time in five years, as they like to mix things up. This would also come against an SEC team.ĭuke’s Mayo Bowl - December 30 - This one is played in Charlotte at the home of the Carolina Panthers against an ACC opponent. Reliaquest Bowl - January 2 - A moment of silence, as Outback Steakhouse is no longer the sponsor of this Tampa bowl game at the home of the Bucs. It is possible that as many as three Big Ten teams can go to New Year’s Six bowl games, as happened this past year with Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State.Ĭitrus Bowl - January 2 - This is against an SEC team and the highest non-playoff bowl for a Big Ten team. If the Big Ten champ goes there it is HIGHLY likely the next best Big Ten team will go to Pasadena. Rose Bowl - January 2 - The Big Ten champ goes here unless they are in the CFP semifinals (Peach and Fiesta this year). They are listed in the order that the bowls get to select (as the bowls get to select from any conference eligible team, so it is not necessarily based on standings): The Big Ten officially has a tie-in the the following bowl games. According to DraftKings Sports book the over/under for wins this year for Purdue is 7.5, so that opens things up to a wide variety of destinations. Even five is enough if there are empty slots and your APR is high enough, as Rutgers showed us last year. There are so many bowls these days that just making it to six wins in a major conference pretty much guarantees eligibility. After a 9-4 year last year it is not so much “if” Purdue will make a bowl game, but “which bowl”.
We’re only 10 days from the kickoff of Purdue football in 2022, and expectations are the highest they have been in quite some time.
