Our friends over at College Football News have provided us with their updated bowl projections after the completion of Week 0 and there isn’t a ton of surprises, especially considering all of the college football playoff favorites stayed at home However, I still like to monitor where the Big Ten teams are slated.
To recap the first week of very modest action for the Big Ten, only three teams played with Northwestern providing the big upset over Nebraska and Illinois stomping Wyoming. Northwestern cruising to a big win was a bit of an eye opener and we will see if that has any impact on these bowl predictions. Let’s dive into where each Big Ten team is slated according to Pete Fiutak of CFN.
