Maryland wins a compelling Delaney Bowl VIII

That's racist

Well we are zebras...but are we white with black stripes...or black with white stripes?

Answer: Whatever Reverend Jesse Jackson says.

Michigan (11-1)
Ohio State (10-2)
Michigan State (10-2)
Iowa (10-2)
Minnesota (8-4)
Wisconsin (8-4)
Purdue (8-4)
Penn State (7-5)
Maryland (6-6)

Rutgers (5-7)
Illinois (5-7)
Nebraska (3-9)
Northwestern (3-9)
Indiana (2-10)

As sorry as Illinois is, if they just had beaten UTSA (possibly the best team in CUSA) they would be in a bowl game.

If Minny hadn't choked against the Illini, the BTT would be for the Brown Jug!

[Dr. Strangelove]

Minnesota quietly had a solid year (for them). In spite of that god-awful loss to Bowling Green.

[Obi-Jon]

That's an interesting thought. Would the Little Brown Jug be "at risk" in the BTT game?

I suppose that it would be up to Minny and the UM ADs.

Aiden Hutchinson has been tapped as the Big Ten's Defensive Player of the Year.

[Hannibal]

He's not a Nagurski finalist though. Which is mind blowing.

[JRB]

It really is. Will Anderson and Jordan Davis I get, without question, but Kayvon Thibodeaux, for all his talent, has not been the player Aidan Hutchinson has been this season.

Big Ten = 9 bowl games.

Minny should beat WVU
Maryland .. meh vs VA Tech. Probably a Hokie win
Purdue should beat the Vals but TN fans will flood the stadium in Nashville. Its like Michigan playing at Ford Field.
MSU v Pitt ... LOL ... they'll get the "unnecessary roughness" crap from Narduzzi. Pitt QB will pick that MSU secondary clean. MSU loss.
Wisky v ASU .. Badgers could win with a good effort. Tossup ASU will have the crowd.
Mich v JawJa .. The Dawgs will prevail, but probably by less than most bettors will think. M will give them a fight.
PSU v Arkansas -- If Clifford is healthy they could beat the Hogs. If not, old cue ball head loses another one
Iowa v UK --- Iowa will give UK a tough game. Could be the closest of all these games.
OSU v Utah --- I think the Utes are the toughest non-playoff team out there. OSU better bring its "A" game. If this was a 12 team playoff, they'd be my cinderella pick to win it all.
