Will Mr. Laurinaitis get a chance to get his hands on Mr. McCoy?

So a quick look back at the final bowl predictions (made on Monday last week). All in all, I feel content with how I did. I correctly named each BCS team and placed them in their correct bowls. I correctly placed 5 of the 7 Big Ten bowl teams. My only mistake was thinking that Wisconsin could talk their way out of Florida and to the Insight Bowl. I broke my cardinal rule of not following the dollars, and I misplaced Minnesota and Wisconsin as a result. I also correctly identified all but one of the Big Ten teams' opponents. I had figured that Florida State would be going to the Gator Bowl against Nebraska and would not be around for the Champs Bowl. I can live with that.

Here's the question: how poorly is the Big Ten going to fare in these games? I haven't found comprehensive lines yet, but I'm going to assume that the Big Ten will be underdogs in 6 of their 7 games (all but Iowa/S. Car). I'm having a hard time figuring out how the conference wins four of these...

You forgot to add “again” to the end of this statement, as Laurinaitis popped McCoy early in the game as well as intercepted one of his passes in the 2006 game at Texas.

Though this game will probably go down just a little differently than the 2006 edition.
