Putting Big Ten bowl projections together...

Thinking Big Ten still has a decent shot at a two up...winner of Nebraska-Michigan game, if it wins its final game will be 10-2 and won't have to play in title game...if that happens, the Gator pick will be real interesting.

Do they take 8-4 Penn State? I don't know...does the sponsor want Penn State? not cut and dried...if Gator doesn't take Penn State, they choose from (my projections) 6-6 Iowa, losing last three, 7-5 Illinois, losers in 5 of last six, 6-6 NW or 7-5 Purdue.

Not crazy to think the Gator could choose Iowa there...and they would be within their rights to do so.

Will have the entire write up tomorrow night after the BCS rankings come out

Wow. What a terrible predicament for that bowl. I'd love to see the Hawks make it, though.

B10 is going to get murdered if they get 2 teams into the BCS...that moves the entirety of the mediocre subsection up one level in the bowl hierarchy. It'd be much better if only Wisconsin made it...

If Purdue beats Iowa...the Gator Bowl takes them.With a doubt.

 

[EddyP]

It's b-ball season JD.

Who the hell knows with this team. They may shock us all and win the last 2. Doubtful.

I still don't think the BT gets two bids.

Not a chance the BIG10 deserves or gets 2.

 

[Captain]

Based on what exactly

Head to head win and better record.

Purdue is improving every week... We are not.

I will be at the game...and I will be partying hard if Iowa pulls off the win.

Based on what exactly

Exactly...people need to stop acting like Purdue is desirable on any level. Even if Iowa goes 6-6 Iowa fans will travel. Purdue fans never travel. And head to head wins dont mean a dam thing to bowl selections

Big10 isn't getting two

If Michigan or Nebraska win out, they will likely be in BCS Top 14 and eligible for an at large pick.

SEC: 2
Big 12: 2
ACC: 1
Big East: 1
non-AQ: 1
Big Ten: 1
Pac 12: 1

ACC & Big East are not getting two. So it comes from either the Big Ten or Pac 12. Oregon wins the Pac 12 title game. I can only see them getting two if Stanford gets to #4 in the final BCS poll at 11-1 (wont have to play in title game).

If Stanford not #4, and Nebraska-Michigan winner gets to 10-2 and in top 14, the Big Ten is getting two.

I think the Andrew Luck TV draw would be enough to get Stanford selected ahead of Nebraska or Michigan. I think more likely is Oklahoma beating OkSt and the Cowboys getting left out because they have zero fanbase.

Michigan and Nebraska would travel record numbers to a BCS game....that carries more weight than Andrew Luck

You're probably right. One thing that is potentially very intriguing is the possibility of OU-Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl. If OSU beats OU, then the BCS selection order is likely to be Sugar, Fiesta, Fiesta, Sugar, Orange. I can't see the Fiesta Bowl passing on reuniting historic rivals.

Perhaps but that's contingent on those teams winning out which I think the odds are against.

 

[ssckelley]

The Big Ten would get embarrassed if they got 2 teams into the BCS.

Detroit has that 'Hardcore Pawn' place, right?

Hardcore Pawn, a dozen casinos, 287 ripper joints....the place has EVERYTHING (except an economy). But still, could be fun
