Complete Big Ten bowl and College Football Playoff schedule for 2022-2023

OK. All the hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing can stop — at least from an official standpoint because we now know where all the Big Ten teams will go bowling as well as which four squads will get a crack to win it all in the College Football Playoff.
