Big Ten Bowl Projections
« on: November 14, 2022, 09:19:27 AM »
This tangled mess in the West is making it hard to figure out bowl projections.  Anyway here is my guess.

OSU/Mich winner - CFP
OSU/Mich loser - Rose
PSU - Citrus (Orlando)
Purdue - Reliaquest (Outback/Tampa)
Iowa - Duke's Mayo (Charlotte, NC)
Wisc - Music (Nashville)
Minn - Pinstripe (New York City)
ILL - guaranteed Rate (somewhere in Arizona)
MSU - Quick Line (Detroit)
MD - some random bowl that can't fill its spot through its normal tie-ins (Liberty?)
Neb, Rut, Ind, NW - no bowl

Of course Purdue, Iowa, Wisc, Minn and ILL are all interchangeable at thiis point.  Iowa has a history of going to Tampa A LOT, so Iowa probably won't go to Tampa.  Iowa was supposed to go to the Music Bowl in 2020 but that got canceled due to COVID.  Wisc has already been to Duke's Mayo bowl before.

have been assuming Minnesota was a lock for the Pinstripe because it's the only contender to have never played there. But Minnesota could play itself into a better bowl if it wins out.

MSU, Wisc have not clinched bowl eligibity yet, both need 1 more win, which I am assuming they will get.

Rutgers is still technically alive but needs to win out to make a bowl, which I am assuming they will not.

Neb, Ind, NW are all officially eliminated from being bowl elligible.

Who might PSU face in the Citrus if that is what happens?  Ole Miss?

Alabama?

I think this year in the SEC  there are more than two pretty solid teams.  They have some flaws of course, like Alabama, but Ole Miss is pretty good and Tenn looks dangerous to me.

Are Ole Miss and Bama clearly better than Penn State?

Could LSU score against Iowa?

Palm also projects Alabama-Clemson in a NY6 (not CFP) bowl.  That might set a record for guys opting out.

I just want to get to a bowl to get the extra practice, and give more guys some run in the game, going into next year.  I don't care if it's the Pizza Pizza Bowl.  But man, playing a MAC team just feels like a lose-lose.

Iowa's offense couldn't score against LSU

I dunno, but I think several SEC teams are pretty decent, more or less akin to Penn State.

Tenn could score on nearly anyone I suspect.  They look to be a playoff bound team.

I dunno about that. The LSU defense isn't that great, and neither is their ST.

the defense just has to trot out onto the field and line up

now if special teams gave Iowa's offense a short enough field enough times.........
