- Cotton Bowl: The Cotton Bowl is held in Arlington, Texas and is another strong contender for the Wolverines. The bowl usually requires a team to finish in the top 10 of the BigTen Conference in order to quality, or at the very least be within a reasonable margin of the top 10.
- Outback Bowl: The Outback Bowl is located in Tampa, FL and this is where things get interesting for the Wolverines. The bowl might not require the Wolverines to finish in the top 10 of the Big Ten standings. There is also a chance of them participating if they finish slightly higher than their projected ranking.
