If I had to guess at Big Ten bowl projections

Mich/OSU loser - Rose

Probably but depending on what happens elsewhere it isn't all that unlikely that the M/tOSU loser could join the winner in the CFP.

PSU - Citrus
Minn - Pinnstripe

This is why I see this weekend's PSU/MN game as so important.

Mich/OSU winner - CFP
Mich/OSU loser - Rose
PSU - Citrus
ILL - Tampa (the old Outback bowl, whatever it's called now)
Purdue - Duke's Mayo
MD - Music
Minn - Pinnstripe
Iowa - (Arizona whatever it's called now)
MSU - Detroit
NW, Neb, Wisc, Rut, Ind - stay home

If IL or Purdue win enough they or the Mich/OSU loser could both end up in NY6, though I'd bet against it.

I'm also not sure sure about MSU getting to 6, but at least the Motor Shitty bowl would make for an easy trip and sell tix.

PSU better not get selected for the Citrus if they go 8-4 or 7-5. It already was crappy enough they were elevated to the Outback Bowl over better performing teams last year.

A really convoluted and not all that unlikely Bowl scenario: Assume that:

Purdue loses at Wisconsin this weekend but wins out from there including the B1GCG over
Ohio State wins out to the CG where they lose to Purdue.
Michigan wins out until The Game where they lose to tOSU.
Penn State loses to tOSU but otherwise wins out to finish 10-2.
Illinois loses to Purdue but otherwise wins out to finish 10-2.

So the top B1G teams (as far as CFP/NY6/BOWL pecking order) would be (guessing here):

12-1 B1G-E Champ tOSU (lost to PU)
11-1 M (lost to tOSU)
10-3 B1G Champion Purdue (lost to UW, PSU, Cuse)
10-2 Penn State
10-2 Illinois

There would be a decent chance that tOSU would make the CFP anyway and Michigan wouldn't necessarily be out of contention depending on what happens in the ACC, PAC, and B12.

Purdue goes to the Rose.

Ohio State and Michigan go either CFP or NY6.

Penn State Citrus.

Illinois . . . Outback?
