Northwestern bowl projections roundup

Our bowl projection roundups have basically been pleas to not send us to Dallas to watch Northwestern play a team in a non-Power 5 conference. It seems that our pleas are being heard by some, thanks to Rutgers being terrible. So where might a alternative destination be?

Right now, the other most likely possibility looks like Detroit, which is pretty lame, but hey, at least the game would be against a Power 5 team (ACC) and it's within easy driving distance from Chicagoland. Let's take a look at where the prognosticators think Northwestern will go this bowl season, and make sure to look at the different scenarios and rooting interests from Jon Davis.
