re: Alabama vs Minnesota outback bowl

I see multiple projections for Auburn Minnesota in Outback.

Same. This is from an Auburn beat writer when asked why they’d take Alabama over Auburn for the Citrus Bowl:

- Saban vs. Harbaugh
- Two top-five programs historically
- Alabama has a bigger fan base

The Citrus could still decide to take Auburn, there’s no doubt about that. But when it comes to setting the most sellable matchup, Alabama makes more sense with Michigan on the other side.”
