B1G Bowl prediction thread

How will the B1G do in the bowl games? We are currently 2-1 out of 10 or 11 games. I predict 6-4. I'm not picking the spread.

12-30

Wisconsin-USC ( -3.5). USC win

12-31

MSU -Alabama (-10). Alabama Win

1-1

UofM-Fla(+4).

HARBAUGH!

OSU-ND(+6.5). OSU Win

NW-Tenn (-8). NW win

Iowa-Stanford(-6). HARBAUGH!

1-2

PSU-Georgia (-6.5). PSU win

Nebraska 37. UCLA 29. W

Minn 21 CMU 14. W

Indiana 41 Duke 44. L

If MSU beats Alabama, they win the national championship because nothing would take away more from a B1G resurgence more than having to listen to our Spartan friends for the next 20 years.

about the fact that the game tomorrow is the NC for msu. If they win they'll beat Clem/OU - easy. It's sickening but at this point we have to assume every opponent will suffer some crazy injury or play their worst game against them. If they beat Bama they'll win it all. osu and then msu, back to back......I have a loaded gun ready. I may spend very little time alive in 2016.

recruiting nation.  Special segment on Rashan Gary at Under Armour practice.  Michigan wins the food court competition according to his Mom.  Confirmed, RG likes food.

Were they really referring to the Union? That never dawned on me. Love the Union, appreciate the options and am there weekly- but it is nothing special for options. I thought they were talking about food options in the football facility. Perhaps not

Northwestern has a tough matchup. Tennessee is literally three plays away from being 11-1 with wins over UGA, Florida, OU, and Alabama. They should have beat all four. Georgia's front seven will probably be on Hackenburg all day.

Woulda coulda shoulda. They could've made plays but didn't. That's why they're in the Outback Bowl.

If Michigan had just not botched a punt against MSU or thrown a critical pick six against Utah, we might be 11-1 too. By the same token, we could also be 7-5 after close calls against Minny and IU. The point is we're all right where we should be.

Tennessee actually isn't "right where they should be." Haha. They've blown everyone else on their schedule out. Beat Bowling Green, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky by four touchdowns apiece. South Carolina by two TD's, and Mizzou kept it "close" in an 11 point loss.

They are probably going to beat Northwestern as bad as we did.

Anyone thinks OSU plays distracted at all, with all the NFL decisions and whatnot? ND is no slouch, Kizer has played very well. Still think they win though. Ideal outcome: earthquake swallows both teams.

Overrated. They have been overrated for years now. Everybody thinks Brian Kelly is maling them good but they play a bunch of mediocre teams and say they have a tough schedule because they dont have amy mac or fcs teams like every big ten team. They are yet to beat a team who is actually good. They had 2 chances and lost both like an average team with an average coach would do case closed.

UM-UF - if Peppers is active, he could make the plays on offense that win the game. If not, I'm not so sure. But because I'm a homer, I say Michigan, 17-14.

OSU-ND - depends on which OSU team shows up. If the one that played us shows up, I expect OSU to win by at least 2 TDs, maybe 3. If the one that played most of the season shows up, ND could steal it.

MSU-Alabama - I'd love to take Alabama, and they can absolutely win this game, but MSU just has that "it" factor right now. They just won't be denied, and they relish the role of the underdog. It's part of their psyche and everything their program is built on. Dantonio is riding the DISRESPEKT train all the way to the end of the line on this one. And they have a huge edge in the one position that matters most: QB. MSU won't be able to run the ball, but if their OL can buy Cook some time, he can make the plays that would win the game. I want to take Bama, but I have a bad feeling that MSU will weasel its way into winning a tight game tomorrow, 21-17. They always play up or down to their competition. But I hope I'm wrong, and I hope Bama beats them 63-0.

Iowa-Stanford - pulling for the Big Ten on this one, but my bet goes with Stanford, 35-28.

UM 37 Gators 14. I think we get after this one early.

MSU 6 'Bama 42. I understand why some are cautious about this but it's illogical to think Sparty will hang with 'Bama in a fair fight. They are really not that good and we all know it. Saban will not overlook this game.

Stanford 14 Iowa 17 I think Iowa. Plays with great emotion and will pull it out.

USC 14 Wiscy 10.

OSU 37 ND 24.

My thoughts:

USC beats Wisconsin by double digits
Alabama beats MSU by 15+
Michigan wins a low scoring game 24-10
OSU wins in a close game
Stanford wins 24-17
Georgia wins 20-10

Alabama would really have to choke, the way OSU did against MSU... or the way Bama did, last year against OSU.  

Bama will be looking for redemption, which may or may not outplay disrespekt.

Usually I don't care much about other teams.  This year, Roll Tide!

The refs literally stole the game. Not an unnecessary flag or missed flag. They literally called a field goal that went in a missed field goal. When they showed the replay it was obvious it went in. The Indiana kicker chased the refs down but they basically said lol bye you suck. Questioning why the kicker didnt punch the ref and also questioning why that call got no attention from espn or anybody... jk it didnt because this is the big ten not the sec.

I did watch the Indiana game with my uncle and the two angles of that kick show two different stories.  Watching the kicker's face reminded me of the face on the Washington State coach at the Rose Bowl in 1997/98 when he wanted one more play.  That's how the game goes.  

I do have feels for Indiana this year failing to finish in so many ways when they really did have a decent team.  Now Jordan Howard is gone it is back to...more mediocrity?

late to the thread the B1G is 3-1 already and I think will finish strong, especially if Cook is healthy enough to carry MSU to a win.

Assuming Cook is throwing well I have MSU, OSU, MI, IA, with NW and PSU losing.  I also have MSU winning the championship game for an assounding B1G total of 8-3.  If MSU falls today the B1G goes 6-4, another  respectable year.
