I can’t believe it, but we’ve made it through the college football regular season. Now we get to ask, WHO’S GOING BOWLING, and WHERE WILL THEY GO?
12 Big Ten teams have qualified for a bowl game; here’s how I expect it to play out. (I’ll be skipping the College Football Playoff games and focusing only on the bowl game projections.)
Bowl Eligible Teams: Penn State, Michigan, Northwestern, Iowa, USC, Minnesota, Illinois, Washington, Nebraska.
CFP Bound Teams: Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon.

Texas has a slight chance to make the CFP. In case they do, I’m going with Vandy to replace them.*
