Bowl season just got a twist—New Mexico is stepping up to face Minnesota in the Rate Bowl after two Big 12 teams opted out, shaking up the usual lineup. This is a rare shot for the Lobos, who haven’t played in this bowl since 1997, while Minnesota is making its fifth appearance. The game’s moving to a 2:30 p.m. kickoff at Chase Field in Phoenix, making it easier for fans to make the trip. With all the last-minute changes, how do you feel about teams passing on bowl games and the new matchups it creates? #Sports #Football #RateBowl
