B1G: Ten Bowl games, favored in NONE of them

I'm taking MSU just because I think Baylor will enter this game playing like it doesn't want to be there. I'm also taking Minnesota in an upset over Missouri. I just think that program is long overdue for a statement win, and even though they lose Cobb next season, beating a good SEC team will give them a huge momentum boost.

Other than that, yeah I'd say most anyone else is going to lose. Bama will beat OSU because I just can't bet against Saban, and while I'd like to think that Iowa can beat Tennessee, I think Ferentz will derp his way into a loss. USC is going to smoke Nebraska, and Nova will throw 5-6 interceptions because he's not playing Michigan.

It's going to be one bad bowl season, again, for the Big Ten.

I like Nebraska, Iowa and Wisconsin. MSU capable, but Baylor and MSU smacks of another Oregon game for them. Hope others pull upset be good for league to have winning record.

10 teams in bowls and we are at home. I was so delusional after 2011. I thought we would be back on championship stage by now and we are in shambles.

go 0-10. I dunno...I haven't followed Louisiana Tech all that closely this year.

would have bet you at the beginning of the year that Penn State would have been in a bowl game but Michigan would not, would you have taken that action?

Sparty is the best team in the land.

\s

Shock the world B1G.

MSU will beat baylor, and by double digits.

How the f*** OSU got in the playoff is beyond me. They struggled against really crappy teams, one of thier best wins came against a team that lost to freaking Illinois (minnesota) and thier other good win came against a team that beat nobody this year.(MSU)

 

So the formula is, be part of a crappy conference, beat up on all your conference opponents who are absolutely terrible, lose to a bad team in non conference, at HOME and get into the playoff. LOL, whatever.

Nice effort Wisconsin

Yes I am bitter about OSU, I think with a competant staff we win at least 3 out of the last 4 against them and this narrative is much different in the media.

Either the B1G is terrible or OSU is absolutely great, you cant have it both ways.

This conference blows, which makes what Hoke has done even more pathetic.

but a lot of those teams stink.

I like Rutgers over UNC.  I think Sparty beats Baylor b/c the latter doesn't want to be there.  I always like Minnesota.  Otherwise, I think it's chalk, though no way is Stanford favored by 13.  I think the OP accidentally posted the O/U.

It hurts my soul to see Michigan football in a pool of non-participants with Purdue, IU, and Northwestern.  

I don't think Minnesota winning would be an upset, Missouri lost AT HOME to the last place team in the B1G East.

Not surprised by all the teams being underdogs. The conference has been pretty awful for years now. Awful competition that we STILL couldn't beat.

What's all the excitement with Stanford?

Is it coincidence that the 4 teams in the playoff have been associated with unethical and sleazy actions probably more than any other schools. Alabama maybe just because they're in the SEC and it's a well know fact they continually over sign and practice other questionable tactics.

Think back to when only one Big 10 team was allowed to go bowling and how Bo was a part of getting that changed. I wouldn't want to be the person to tell tim that 10 teams from the BIG are going to bowl games this year and Michigan isn't one of them.
