I'd throw out there that they are more likely to win them all than lose them all.

Maybe I am wrong, but I only see 3 games where I think they should be the consensus favorite.

Same thought here. I think they're favorable match-ups. Also, last year's solid showing poked holes into the SEC is a juggernaut and Big Ten can't hang argument.

I see Buckeyes and Wisconsin cruising. Stanford/Michigan State is the game I'm most excited for. Though, I think I see Stanford taking that game.

Don't like Iowa and Nebraska. The others in the Big Ten should win.

They won't though because the Big Ten is the Notre Dame of bowl games(so is Notre Dame).

You are right. I'm just saying that I think the likelihood of losing them all would be say 5% but the likelihood of winning them all might be higher than that.

Personally, I think nebraska gets gang raped by Georgia.

There's a shock. :lol:

The reason I have hope with Iowa is two fold....1) The loss of Mettenberger and 2) LSU showing some vulnerability with their struggle against Arkansas

I like Ohio St and Minnesota for sure. The rest will be tough.

No chance for Nebraska.

I will say the Big 10 goes 5-2 this year.

Time for Minnesota to win a bowl and close out a nice year.
I think Michigan is better than this and will show it in the bowl.
Really like Wisconsin
Iowa is a nice upset pick
I like Georgia, but give Nebraska a shot in a rematch from last year
Rose bowl could go either way
How does Ohio State play after having a national title shot and does their defense respond.

iowa may not win on the field, but they gave it a great run at the meal

Quote:

Playing in bowl games has its perks, like awesome special events and gift bags. The players for the Outback Bowl, which is set to take place on New Years day at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, got a taste of those perks during a welcome dinner, and they took full advantage. Per Jared Aarons, sports director at KGAN/KFXA TV in Cedar Rapids, players and coaches from the Iowa Hawkeyes and LSU Tigers took down over 5,000 pounds of free food!

According to this tally note, the teams "devoured 750 lbs of sirloin steak topped with 40 gallons of Diablo Sauce, 750 pounds of chicken, and 900 lbs of ribs." That doesn't even include sides! Those numbers are staggering as well. The teams also consumed "1,600 honey wheat dinner rolls, 1,200 lbs of cheesecake and 80 gallons on barbecue sauce."

Those figures are almost unbelievable. 1,600 dinner rolls and 1,200 pounds of cheesecake!?!? How could two teams possibly eat that much bread/cake and still eat anything else? Even if there were 400 people in attendance, that would equate to 4 rolls and 3 pounds of cheesecake each.

Somebody call a cardiologist.

I would be shocked if the Big 10 won more than two of those games.

Maryland lost, and Rutgers is most likely to get pounded.

Yeah but at least a couple dozen people in the DC area watched that game.

Totally clean program the big ten is adding in Rutgers too

Ohio State is as dirty as any program, so what's one more.

They wanted the markets (NY/NJ, Baltimore/DC) of these teams for the Big Ten Network, which has a poor HD feed.

0-3 on the bowl season.
