‘Championship Week’ Bowl Projections: Big Ten

By Brandon Sudge -

The Big Ten has performed remarkably this season. With three teams in playoff contention headed into the final week of the season, not many others can compete with that. Aside from playoff contention, other teams are headed to significant bowl games. We have a pretty solid idea as to where teams may be, but there could be a lot of drama left as we approach “Championship Saturday” and the heralded “Selection Sunday. Will your team end up where you expect?
