Will Big 10 Win a Bowl Game?
Based on Brett McMurphy's projections, I'm not sure Big 10 will many if any. Maybe Indiana and PSU?
Fiesta Bowl – Dec. 28 (CFP semifinal)
Projection: Ohio State (CFP No. 2) vs. Clemson (CFP No. 3)
Rose Bowl – Jan. 1 (Big Ten vs. Pac-12)
Projection: Wisconsin vs. Oregon
Cotton Bowl – Dec. 28 (at-large vs. Group of Five*)
Projection: Penn State vs. Memphis*
Citrus Bowl – (Big Ten vs. SEC)
Projection: Michigan vs. Alabama
Outback Bowl – (Big Ten vs. SEC)
Projection: Minnesota vs. Auburn
Gator Bowl – (Big Ten/ACC vs. SEC)
Projection: Indiana vs. Kentucky
Holiday Bowl – (Big Ten vs. Pac-12)
Projection: Iowa vs. USC
Redbox Bowl – (Big Ten vs. Pac-12)
Projection: Illinois vs. Cal
Pinstripe Bowl – (ACC vs. Big Ten)
Projection: Wake Forest vs. Michigan State

Big 10 will win 2-3 games and get pasted in the rest.

I agree

Don't want to mention one which I think is going to get pasted.
December 8th, 2019 at 1:59 PM ^
4-5 or 5-4
December 8th, 2019 at 2:00 PM ^
Don Brown versus Alabama receivers? Lol

Wow we have some cranky people this Sunday. The matchups aren't final but McMurphy has a very good track record of these projections. The matchups for the Big 10 are usually bad when a Big 10 team goes to the playoffs. Every other team moves up a notch and many become overmatched. I think something like 3-6 or 4-5 is realistic. Can't see it much better than that. PSU, Wisconsin, and Indiana are the most likely winners to me. I don't see MSU, Michigan, Illinois, or Minnesota winning. Iowa is always unpredictable. I hope there is a god and OSU loses.

Well, if that's the matchups, ouch, it doesn't look good.

Bowl games are hard to predict for a variety of reasons. I remember one year when all the matchups looked unfavorable and I think the conference went 8-1 or something like that

Indiana will beat the pants off of Kentucky.
the rest are all losses. Although I’d keep an eye on Iowa vs USC and Wisconsin will likely bowl right over Oregon.

Minnesota and UM are the only sure losses on that list.

Who cares? I thought all bowl games outside of the CFP were meaningless.
December 8th, 2019 at 6:35 PM ^
They're only meaningless until they're not... It's all a matter of narrative, I mean, perspective...
December 8th, 2019 at 3:11 PM ^
PSU will beat Memphis
December 8th, 2019 at 3:15 PM ^
B1G gets no respect. I looked at those match-ups and think we've got the toughest ask in facing Bama, maybe MSU because they flat out suck, but that said, all of the teams in our conference are capable of winning their match-up and I hope they do.
December 8th, 2019 at 6:39 PM ^
I think the toughest "ask" will be "asking" people to watch MSU play another pitiful game. See what I did there? Cuz MSU is literally unwatchable...
I'll see myself out.
December 8th, 2019 at 3:44 PM ^
They'll be favored in 3 or 4 of these games (Michigan State, Penn State and Wisconsin) with Iowa being close
December 8th, 2019 at 4:39 PM ^
Iowa should win
