On a side note...the Big Ten Bowl games:

Ohio State v. Texas
Penn State v. USC
Georgia v. Michigan State
South Carolina v. Iowa
Kansas v. Minnesota
Missouri v. Northwestern
Wisconsin v. Florida State

I'd love to prove everybody wrong, but it looks like the Big Ten will be underdogs in all the games except maybe Iowa's. This would be a great chance for the Big Ten to prove everybody wrong...but I really only care about the first game on that list. I'd be very happy with the Big Ten going 1-6 in it's bowls, if the 1 is the Buckeyes :)

Wisconsin vs. Florida State will be a blood bath. Wisconsin is terrible. Iowa vs. South Carolina should be a great game. South Carolina has a very good defense. Neither Kansas nor Minnesota is a particularly good team, Minnesota looking especially bad down the stretch. Missouri vs. Northwestern I'm not sure about. Missouri isn't really that good, but Northwestern hasn't really looked impressive either. Georgia vs. Michigan State. Georgia should win, but I think it will be within 14. Penn State vs. USC, USC's offense hasn't impressed me this season. Penn State has a pretty good defense. We all know how good USC's defense is. Should be a low scoring football game. I'll pick USC to narrowly win. The big show, Ohio State vs. Texas. We are going to be the best defense Texas has faced all year by far. Texas defense isn't great by any means. I like our chances in this one for sure.

They say it's all about the matchups. Well the matchups don't look particularly friendly to the B10 teams. I'm seeing five blowouts.

I'm seeing six. No way Iowa scores on South Carolina. The Big Ten got fucked. As Don Henley once said, "Kick em when their up, kick em when their down!"
