Big 10 Bowl Games
Fortunately Ohio State won. I could easily see all 5 other Big 10 teams lose. Maybe Purdue can beat ASU, but I really don't like the 4 schools (Minn, Wisc, Iowa, and Mich) chances of winning.
Alabama - Minnesota
Arizona State - Purdue
Georgia - Wisconsin
LSU - Iowa
Texas - Michigan

I totally disagree (respectfully) Script. I think the Big 10 could go 6-0.
-Minnesota can beat Alabama if they can recapture some of their fast start. Alabama is without QB Brody Whatshisass, and have really no offense to speak of. If Minny can run, they can win.
-Texas is in a game that matters, which means they will lose, and Mack Brown will look like the whining wortless bitch he is (when he loses to the other whining worthless bitch)
-Purdue can beat Arizona State, unless they play like they did against Iowa, which they haven't done before or since. I like Orton to have a monster game.
-Georgia depends on which team shows up: the one that killed a couple of good teams, or the one that eeked out over South Carolina. Again, Wisconsin had a big roll earlier in the season, and Alvarez does well in these types of Bowl Games (Withess the Colorado game a few years back).
-I think Iowa can beat LSU, considering Saban is leaving and they are a young team. Teams with coaches leaving haven't done well so far.

I like Minn over 'bama, but I'm not sure about any of the others. Purdue could beat ASU, depending on which versions of either team show up ... same goes for UM v. Texas. I like Wisky's defense, but I don't know that they can score more points than the dogs - I like Georgia in a close 17-14 game there. LSU v. Iowa is a total crap-shoot - there's too many intangibles there - do we see the Iowa that played (or didn't for that matter) USC two years ago? Which of their seven one-legged running backs shows up? Does LSU show up without Nick Saban? I'd flip a coin to determine the winner of that one.

I give up. This board is too hard to understand.

Wisconsin/Georgia will be the game to watch.. Alverez always has the Badgers up for the Bowl Games. Iowa should be able to beat LSU... they've been suprising this year.

Here's to hoping the Big 10 is stronger than people think and we win them all. If all of the Big 10 teams show up we could win them all. This reminds me a little of 2002 when people thought the Big 10 was weak until we won most of our bowl games and the NC.

I agree with LSU... I don't think they've looked good at all... The others have a shot. I just hope Texas loses, Cal should be in that game not the "short horns"

Purdue is almost a lock being that Walter is out for ASU. Same for Minniehaha, being that Croyle is out for Bama. I'll take Georgia over Wiscy. Iowa over LSU. Texas over Michigan - while it's true that Texas has Mack Cooper, I mean John Brown, er........whatever. Texas does tend to choke in the games that matter, but Michigan is even a bigger choke artist in the Rose Bowl. I dont see them being able to put together a decent drive.
