The Bowl Picture

Who has two thumbs and wants to go to a bowl game? This guy.

Here's the Big 10 Bowl Schedule for this year:

Pick	Name	Location	Opposing Conference	Opposing Pick
1	Rose Bowl	Pasadena, California	Pac-10 or BCS	-
2	Capital One Bowl	Orlando, Florida	SEC	2
3	Outback Bowl	Tampa, Florida	SEC	3/4
4/5	Gator Bowl	Jacksonville, Florida	SEC	6
4/5	Insight Bowl	Tempe, Arizona	Big 12	4
6	Texas Bowl	Houston, Texas	Big 12	6
7	TicketCity Bowl[24]	Dallas, Texas	C-USA or Big 12	- or 8
8	Little Caesars Pizza Bowl	Detroit, Michigan	MAC	1

Oh yeah, #6 Big 10 vs #6 Big 12. I'm not sure whether we're the Big 12 or the Big 10 in this scenario, cause see we're the Big 10 with 12 teams and they're the Big 12 with 10... Oh my god, I've gone cross-eyed.

With Wisconsin sitting at #7, Ohio State sitting at #9, MSU at #11 and Iowa at #13. The odds of two big ten teams getting into a BCS bowl seem high. So for the purposes of this conjectur-y sort of thing, we'll assume the Big 10 sends two teams.

If MSU, Wisconsin and OSU win out
- Wisconsin - Rose
- OSU - At-Large
- MSU - Citrus

This would pretty much suck. By pretty much suck, I mean completely suck. As an aside, there's a great chance we play one of Alabama, LSU or Auburn. Luckily Les Miles forgets what he's doing sometimes and is the most likely to be that guy. Also, he is the most hated coach of a top 10 team ever.

If MSU, Wisconsin win out and OSU loses
- MSU - Rose
- Wisconsin - At-Large
- Iowa - Citrus

Well obviously, this would be the damn WIN scenario, wouldn't it?


If MSU, OSU win out and Wisconsin loses
- OSU - Rose
- MSU - At-Large
- Iowa - Citrus

If MSU loses again once
- MSU - Outback Bowl

It's weird to type that and think, eh. But after how well the year has gone it's kind of strange to see that and not be impressed. But I would not be impressed.

Remember, we're Iowa fans next weekend. We need an Iowa win to make this all possible.
