Big Ten: Open as Underdogs in 6 of 7 Bowl Games

by Bama Hawkeye 28 days ago 4 comments | 0 recs

And you were worried about the Beaver-turd scenario? Please, trust me. I do this for a living am a random bloke who was picked from obscurity to give opinions as fact. I'm moving Minnesota up a spot on the Big Ten pecking order. The articles that I've been reading indicate that Wisconsin is lobbying hard NOT to go to a Florida bowl for the 5th straight year. It's possible that LSU could go Outback instead of the Cocks, but I'm betting that it's South Carolina. National Championship: Florida v. Oklahoma Rose: Penn State v. USC Fiesta: Texas v. Ohio State Sugar: Alabama v. Utah Orange: Virginia Tech v. Cincinnati Capital One: Michigan State v. Georgia Outback: Iowa v. South Carolina Alamo: Northwestern v. Missouri Champs: Minnesota v. Miami Insight: Wisconsin v. Kansas Motor City: NC State (no Big Ten team available) v. Ball State On the Couch with the Queso Bowl: Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Purdue

It's all getting so much clearer. I think that this is the Big Ten order, and I think it's pretty well set. The one change that you might see would be Iowa jumping Michigan State. I do not believe that the Capital One Bowl will select the Hawkeyes over the Spartans, but I think that the Outback Bowl may (if the Beaver-turd scenario occurs). National Championship: Florida v. Oklahoma Rose: Penn State v. USC Fiesta: Texas v. Ohio State Sugar: Alabama v. Utah Orange: Virginia Tech v. Cincinnati Capital One: Michigan State v. Georgia Outback: Iowa v. South Carolina Alamo: Northwestern v. Nebraska Champs: Wisconsin v. Miami Insight: Minnesota v. Kansas Motor City: Rutgers (no Big Ten team available) v. Ball State On the Couch with the Queso Bowl: Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Purdue

All of this changes if someone doesn't beat the Beavers... I'll be using my column this week to look at the full range of possibilities for each of the 8 Big Ten teams that can qualify for a bowl. I'll also explain each of the potential opponents. National Championship: Oklahoma v. Florida Rose: Penn State v. USC Fiesta: Ohio State v. Texas Sugar: Alabama v. Utah Orange: Miami v. Pitt (Why not? Pick any of the crappy teams from either conference. They're all the same) Capital One: Michigan State v. Georgia Outback: Iowa v. South Carolina Alamo: Wisconsin v. Oklahoma State Champs: Northwestern v. North Carolina Insight: Minnesota v. Kansas Motor City: Illinois v. Ball State On the Couch with a Queso Bowl: Michigan, Purdue, Indiana

I think Bob Stoops is playing for the title again... National Championship: Florida v. Oklahoma Rose: Penn State v. USC Fiesta: Ohio State v. Texas Sugar: Alabama v. Utah Orange: Virginia Tech v. Pittsburgh Capital One: Michigan State v. Georgia Outback: Iowa v. South Carolina Alamo: Wisconsin v. Oklahoma State Champs: Minnesota v. Miami (FL) Insight: Northwestern v. Kansas Motor City: Illinois v. Ball State On the Couch with the Queso Bowl: Michigan, Indiana, Purdue Again, these take in to account anticipated future results. If the Illini lose to Northwestern and Ohio State, they won't make a bowl. I'm betting that we're halfway through Minnesota's worst case scenario from my previous column. Does anyone want to win the Big East or ACC? The Sugar Bowl will take an undefeated mid-major over a three (or four!) loss Big East champ, no?
