This has to be some sort of record and I do realize be just added a team but ten teams to bowls? Seriously, if you don't make it to a bowl these days you are pathetic. Why coaches even get bonuses for making a bowl is beyond me. Maybe I should see if I can get a bonus at work for getting my computer turned on each day? Anyway what do you guys think the Big Ten's record in bowls ends up being?

Little Caesars
Western Michigan vs. Purdue





Insight
Iowa vs. Oklahoma

Meineke Car Care of Texas
Texas A&M vs. Northwestern
Kraft Fight Hunger
Illinois vs. UCLA

TicketCity
Houston vs. Penn State

Outback
Michigan State vs. Georgia

Capital One
Nebraska vs. South Carolina

Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl
Ohio State vs. Florida
Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio
Wisconsin vs. Oregon

Allstate Sugar
Michigan vs. Virginia Tech

I say 5-5 with wins by Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State, Purdue, and Iowa.
 
Because bowls make the University money, some of which in turn is given in the form of a bonus to the guys in charge?
 
yeah, lots of bowls these days, not like it used to be. and big 10 teams sure do get some bowl love, although we have lots of work to do to actually be the conference we used to be (IMO)

I have 4-6. Kind of a strange line up. NW playing a team with a coaching change coming. UCLA & ILL both doing the same. PSU & OSU as well.

The names of most of these bowls suck.

I hate corporate sponsorship. I hate bowl games being named after corporations. I hate stadiums being named after corporations. I hate the fact that millions of dollars are being made by everybody except those on the field of play. I hate the scandals, the coverups, the win at all cost mentality. I hate what college football has become. Now you damn kids get off my lawn!

B1G goes 8-2
 
i think the big ten could go 10-0. but my guess with recent history, they go 7-3. i think iowa has the toughest match up. wisky has a tough match up too, but they are on par with oregon, and are up to the task..

i wont pick which teams lose... just that 3 of them lose.

Oh, and I'll take 5-5 for the B1G record.
