Will any big 10 teams win their bowl game this year?

Northwestern falls by winning the coin toss and deferring. Filed under 'What were you thinking?

Ohio State over Texas? Filed under 'Not a chance.'

USC will win over PSU, but it should be close.

Iowa over South Carolina by 14. There you go.

Ohio State beat Northwestern 45 to 10. Saying that Northwestern was right behind Ohio State in the Big Ten standings can be a little misleading. I am not going to claim that Ohio State is going to beat Texas, but I think that we are all going to find out that the offensive minded Big 12 isn't as tough as everyone thinks. Ohio State will give Texas a good game. I am also very confident that they would easily handle MU. The Big Ten was 3 and 3 last year with wins over Florida and another SEC team . The Big Ten isn't as tough as the SEC or USC but neither is the Big 12. Also keep in mind that Ohio State and all the Big Ten teams have had a much longer time between the regular season and the bowl games. In some cases in the 50 day range. That is just way too long in between games. The Big 12 won't be spouting off too much after Florida whips Oklahoma by three or four touchdowns.

Iowa is going to kill South Carolina, but that may be the Big 10's only win. Michigan State and Minnesota both fell apart after solid starts, Ohio State only has a chance if Texas doesn't show up (like Missouri didn't show up last night). I really think Penn State vs USC is going to be a close game, and if the Big 10 gets 2 wins, Penn State will be the other winner.

Northwestern SHOULD OF won that game, they just blew it in OT not looking out for the extra man on the D line

Michigan state will beat Georgia, Javon Ringer is going to run all threw Geo.'s slopy 2ndary

Penn state will beat USC

And i kno ill get critisized on this but i think Ohio state will beat Texas, its going to be back and forth but OSU will pull it off with a 3 or 4 pt win.

yea Iowa has a nice chance to beat SouthCar.

I dont know any of the other bowl games the B 10 is in or id tell you my prediction on the others

--------

Laugh at me all you want youll see once the games come, if im wrong once the games done message me and ill make a question and give u free 10pts lol

and yea Minisota has no chance i think

And the OSU team that beat Texas wasent "years ago" it was in 06 , 2years, thats not a great deal of margin,

8-10 of the same players from the team in 06 are there still for both teams

haa ha blibity long time no see

PSU over USC by 3. You heard it hear first.

edit: Yeah I can admit that I have a PSU bias. But I know PSU has a pretty good defense so I'm sure its not gonna be a blow out. And when Penn State wins on Thursday try not to be too shocked. Tell me this, if for some unforeseen reason they ever moved the Rose Bowl to a cold weather destination, would USC decline the invite, since the pretty boys from Cali don't like playing in the cold?

The big ten lacks coaching. The few experienced coaches in the big ten do just fine in bowl games. Jim Tressel is 3-2 in BCS bowls, not the best, but nothing to sneeze at. Joe Paterno, 9-2 in his last 11 bowl games. Pretty darn good. Ferentz is 4-4 at Iowa. That pretty much sums it up for experience in the big ten as far as coaches go.

After watching the NW Mizzou game, which featured a division winner of the almighty big 12, and an also ran from the big ten, I would say the two teams were pretty much equal, hence the over time. Maclin is a great player, but pretty much everyone in the country knows to punt it out of bounds, except NW coaches.

Right behind after a 30 point loss. They were tied for 4th place in the big ten with the 5th place team.

Why is Michigan State over Georgia such a stretch? Georgia Tech put up how many yards rushing and how many points on them? Michigan State has arguably the best running back in the country. They have fallen off a little at the end up this season, so who knows, but they have the talent. As for Texas OSU, OSU is 28-4 against the big 12, and 2-0 against them in BCS bowl games. Forgive me if I don't count this one in the bag for Texas just yet. The last time they played a big 12 team, it was in Texas, against a solid Texas team, and they smoked them. OSU matches up well against the big 12 just like they match up poorly against the SEC.

To answer your question, the big ten will win 3 bowl games, at minimum. There is no chance they go winless. I just don't understand why everyone thinks the big ten is so terrible. Over the last 3 seasons, dead even against the SEC head to head in bowl games, the same can be said for over the last 5. OSU is 4-2 in BCS bowls, Penn State is 9-2 in their last 11. A terrible michigan team ran up and down on Florida last season in their bowl game.

you got a point, the big ten will probably not win a bowl game this year, but if they do, it'll be penn state over usc cause the pac 10 sucks just as much (if not more). that game should be close at least.

LMAO at the comment of MSU beating UGA. You are out of your mind. I agree with the Kansas loss- they have not been very impressive this season.

That is the Big 10's only chance

Someone is a little Big 10 biased. The Trojans will handle Joe Pa and his Lions like in years past.

If they can't win with Chase Daniel actually trying to lose, they might not win at all! I think there had to be some point shaving going on in that game.
