Where do the Illini wind up? What matchups we looking forward to in the playoffs when they’re announced? Which games will Tempo not watch but act like he did?

The Big10 bowl contracts ended in 2025 so who knows, but ....
The Nuts, the Hoosiers and the Ducks are in tCFP.
USC goes to the Rose.
Michigan to the Orange if the Big10 has a bowl tie in.
xxxx to the Citrus.
We battle it out with Washington for Tampa or Vegas.

Edit: disregard all of this.  :D
The Rose and Orange get quarter-final games. So skip USC to the Rose and Michigan to the Orange and  move everybody down a bowl in the pecking order.
Except USC and Washington are eligible for previous Pac 12 tie-in games.
Hopefully we don't get relegated to NYC. Lol.

CBS sends us to Tampa vs Tennessee and USC to the Alamo Bowl vs Houston and Washington to the Holiday Bowl vs Pitt in former Pac12 bowl tie-ins and that's where they belong this year. Lol
They send xxxx to Vegas in a game I won't watch.

And go Dook. Beat Va !!!

At this point I think OSU, IU, and Oregon are set in the playoff. I think everyone's assuming USC and UW go to the better remaining PAC-affiliated bowls because the PAC alternatives are Utah and the Arizona schools.

Michigan seems like a lock for the Citrus, which leaves Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, PSU, and NU slotting into the Reliaquest, Music City, Las Vegas, Pinstripe, GameAbove, Rate Bowls. Guy at Athlon puts us in the Pinstripe Bowl vs Clemson with Iowa-Vandy in the Reliaquest, Minnesota playing LSU in the Music City and Nebraska playing Utah in the Vegas Bowl. We'd be getting hosed in that scenario because the Music City is IMO a better bowl and we should be above Minnesota in the pecking order.

All of which means, of course, that you can book your airfare to NYC and hotel today.

Bowling has pretty much been nuked in the South Bay. Land is too expensive. Several lanes closed. The few remaining spots seem to be cheap novelty houses, with the neon lights, and to keep maintaining the lanes cheap they have the pins on strings.

As Mn correctly called, we are indeed heading to Nashville for our bowl game to take on, you guessed it, the Tennessee Volunteers in the Music City Bowl.
