>>Regardless, all the Nittany Lions, who finished in a fourth-place tie with Minnesota in the Big Ten standings, can do now is wait to see which bowl offers them a bid. Their best-case scenario is the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla., which gets the third pick of Big Ten teams after the Rose Bowl and the Citrus Bowl. Whether they return to Tampa for the third time in five years depends first on whether Michigan gets an at-large bid to the Bowl Championship Series. If so -- and it is likely that the Big Ten, widely hailed as the best conference in college football, would get a team into the BCS besides conference champion Wisconsin's automatic Rose Bowl bid -- Michigan State would go to the Citrus Bowl. That leaves the Outback Bowl to decide whether it wants the Nittany Lions, a traditional power who played there last year and whose fans haven't traveled very well to Tampa, or the Golden Gophers, whose fans would be so excited to go to a bowl after so many years but whose athletic department is in shambles after the athletic director was fired last week.<<
