Northwestern could pull something off if they stay disciplined on both sides of the ball, but Purdue loses by five touchdowns... Gundy does something crazy as well.

And remember, every Big Ten team is playing two bowls over their head due to OSU and PSU not being eligible. So the SEC had the advantage to begin with.
