   Based on how it has been done in the past, here is when the bowl announcements   
   will be made:   
   (all times Eastern)   
      
   12:25 or so - Rose, Sugar   
   2:30 or so - Fiesta, Cotton, Peach, Orange   
   after that - Gronk...oh, and at least 33 of the remaining 34. The fact that   
   none of Minnesota's official social media sites have commented about being   
   bowl eligible yet makes me think that the school thinks that Army needs to   
   beat Navy. My guess is,    
   since the Quick Lane bowl is the last Big Ten-contracted bowl to get to   
   choose, it will hold out until it knows if the 82nd team is Minnesota or Navy.   
      
   The only reason I don't think that the NCAA is going to announce a repeat of   
   the "Frisco Classic" from 2021 right away is, if Army beats Navy, it won't be   
   needed. On the other hand, what happens if there is a 42nd game announced,   
   between Minnesota and    
   Mississippi State (the next 5-7 team in the APR order, IIRC), only for   
   Mississippi State to announce, "Er, we stopped practicing after 11/25, and who   
   knows where half of our players are now"? (Oh, wait, I almost forgot, it's an   
   SEC school - if it can't    
   dig up 85 players at a moment's notice, it should be kicked out of the   
   conference.)
