Here's where Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers will be spending college football bowl season, as well as which team they'll play, and where.

In a matter of hours Sunday, what had appeared to be a year no teams with losing records would be needed to fill out the bowl schedule suddenly changed when Notre Dame, Iowa State and Kansas State announced they would decline bids despite being eligible.

The Rate Bowl at Chase Field in Phoenix will be the first meeting between the Minnesota Gophers and the New Mexico Lobos.

The Tigers were one of five 5-7 teams that declined a bowl bid, according to report from On3’s Brett McMurphy. Despite not reaching the six-win bowl eligibility threshold, Auburn’s academic progress rate put the team in position to get a bid after bowl eligible teams such as Notre Dame, Kansas State and Iowa State declined bowl invitations.

On Friday, K-State athletic director Gene Taylor said the Wildcats will wait to discuss their options with the Big 12 before they make a decision.

With the win, Shawsheen owns a 3-2 record in Super Bowl/MIAA championship games and extends the state’s longest active streak to 27 straight victories — all while reinforcing that the road to the Division 5 title still runs through the Rams.
