How bad will the Big-10 get ass raped in bowl games?
So, even with Ohio State and Michigan at the top and Wisconsin #3, this is one of the worst years for the Big-10 that I can remember. Does anyone think the Big-10 can actually salvage a winning bowl season? I sure as hell don't. In fact, I think Iowa, Minnesota, and Penn State all have less than a 1% chance of winning their games. I also would not favor Purdue or Wisconsin. I think it is very likely that all 5 of those teams will lose and I'd almost guarantee no more than 1 of them wins. I think the Michigan-USC game is a toss-up but I'll give a SLIGHT edge to Michigan. I think we all know Ohio State will win the national title. But I would not say that 1-6 is out of the question. 2-5 and I'll be happy.

Just because Iowa is fucked up doesn't mean the Big Ten is weak. The top 3 teams are 34-2 , what conference can say that? UM and OSU would win most conferences this year and Wiscy could win their share. I know it looks bad when your school struggles to reach .500, but for the better programs everything is going alright.

I hate this kind of crap. CFB games aren't something you can quantify, try as you might, persist as you may.Iowa, Minnesota, and Penn State all have less than a 1% chance of winning their games.
I'm not real enamored of PSU's offense...but dammit, we have a tough defense, and kids like Poz are going to leave it all out on the field.
Pick your chin up, bitch...and root for your team, instead of this whiney mewling hoo haa.

Pick up my chin? Shit, I'll be cheering louder than anyone for the Hawks to win next Saturday, but let's be real......Texas is gonna win by a minimum of 14.
Penn State is gonna get rolled. Morelli is horrible. The entire offense is one of the worst in the history of college football. How on earth are they gonna score? Tennessee will need 10 points to get the game to OT. More than 10 to win. As good as Penn State's defense is, they can't hold a quality offense like Tennessee under 10 points. And even if they do, their defense will probably make up for that.
Big-10 is horrible. Wisconsin didn't beat 1 quality team all season. They're a fraud. I think they matchup okay with Arkansas, but I think the Hogs will win a close one. 8 of the 11 Big-10 teams completely blow.
