Motel 6 Cactus Bowl (Big 12 sixth vs Pac-12 seventh): Minnesota Golden Gophers vs Arizona Wildcats

Where: Chase Field—Phoenix, AZ

When: December 27th, 2016

Once more, sportswriters project that the Cats will stay in the state of Arizona for the Motel 6 Cactus Bowl. This time, the college football crew at Bleacher Report pick the Minnesota Golden Gophers to replace the Big 12 representative and serve as Arizona’s opponent.

Bleacher Report’s Brian Pedersen went a step further by favoring Rich Rod’s spread-option and hurry-up offense to run past the Gophers on the baseball diamond.

Kudos to Bleacher report.
