This site has the Hoosier playing in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit against Boston College.

Personally, I'd like to see a IU v UK bowl game.  
 

What say you?

I would love Detroit. I would hit up a dispensary and see the Hoosiers in a bowl. Win win

Dude, whoever wrote that article is an idiot.

Assuming O$U makes the CFP win or loss, there are only 9 B1G eligible teams and Quick Lane is the 9th or 10th bowl. IU has 8 wins and can't be overtaken for a better bowl by the 6 win teams(MSU, Illinois). At the worst, IU is going to Yankee Stadium again. Most likely, I think IU goes to the Gator Bowl or Music City Bowl(the B1G and ACC swap the two and play vs an $EC team). The Bourbon Barrel game should definitely be revived. I think pUKe played in Tampa last year(Outback) so they should be eligible to play in either of the aforementioned bowls.

Thanks for asking. I don’t know how good UK is this year, but I saw them beat Penn State in a bowl game last year. I’m not at all confident in IU’s defense, but if they can beat UK this year, I’m all for it.

I just don’t see how we get the quick lane bowl....mainly because maybe these publications didn’t look at records and just looked at teams that are qualified for bowls....or they just suck at their job because my understanding is that IU basically has little chance of getting quick lane. They can’t be leapfrogged by MSU or Illinois basked on their 6-6 records only way they would is if IU declined a bowl and they were given next shot. Quicklane shouldn’t be considered a destination. I’d say gator or music.

I believe our floor is probably the Pinstripe Bowl given (1) CFP system - OSU + 1-2 additional schools getting scooped up for the he NY6, (2) being above both Ill & MSU, and (3) bowl selection criteria e.g. a number of the upper tier B1G bowls state that they do not want the same team twice in a bowl cycle. I

would honestly be surprised if we end up outside of the Music City/Gator Bowl mix.

Hope we go somewhere warm and not play an SEC team

Don’t want to go to the west coast. Would love the gator bowl versus Kentucky 

[Naturalhoosier]

My money is on the Gator or Music City.

Selfishly, Pinstripe Bowl due to my proximity of NYC.  That's a loooooong shot considering we were just there a few years back. 

PS...the FG was good.

Yes it was

This breaks it down pretty well: Daily Hoosier link

I've read a couple times that the Music City bowl is interested in an IU -pUKe matchup. Makes a lot of sense.

Makes total sense from a filling the seats perspective.

[Josh]

Yay...the possibility of an IU game in Florida!

Boo...I'll be at Disney that day.

This is what I want. We’re in no way ready to face Pruitt and Tennessee. UK? Hell yeah we can beat those pussycats.

[mdn82]

I would definitely make the trek down south to watch that. Keep my drive within 12 hours and I am game.

 

Edit: That is of course if my boss is reading this and I get to take off for that day [emoji23].

I wouldn’t mind Tennessee. Mainly because we haven’t shown great things against running QBs. Lol. Lynn Bowden (old IU verbal) is a force to be reckoned with.
