Big Ten Bowl Games BT favored in 4 of 10 games

[Dale Baeten]

Already seen a few articles out there by the media calling Big Ten overrated etc...

I know other programs have coaching changes and distractions..

The Big Ten did not receive many favorable match-ups imho

We also have the coaching change in Indiana, the Minnesota ordeal,

Maryland is a 1 point favorite so hardly a favorite at all, We are 8.5 favorites now and I feel we should be, Ohio State a favorite over another playoff team so not really a guaranteed win their, and Michigan a favorite over FSU which I feel they are the better team so no argument there.

What do we consider a successful Big Ten Bowl season?


I think Maryland, Michigan, Ohio St. and Wisconsin are the likely winners with Ohio St not being a lock but if they play their A game they will win imho.

Penn St I think has a chance but USC secondary matches up well so I give a slight edge to USC.

That being said if we the 4 games I mentioned above and Ohio St. can win it all I consider it a successful season for the Big Ten.

If Ohio St. advances but loses in the big game and we get wins from Michigan, Wisconsin, Maryland and Penn St. I think that is a good bowl season.

Nebraska and Indiana could surprise but I am not confident enough to stick my head out there for them. Nebraska plays Tennessee in Nashville and Indiana dealing with coaching change so may not be sharp enough to win.
