My Bowl Projections, this week

[edman85]

Big Ten Only, again assuming SP+ favorite wins out.

Cotton Bowl: Ohio State vs. Oklahoma
Rose Bowl: Michigan vs. Oregon
Peach Bowl: Michigan State vs. Pittsburgh
Citrus Bowl: Wisconsin vs. Ole Miss
Outback Bowl: Penn State vs. Kentucky
Las Vegas Bowl: Purdue vs. UCLA
Music City Bowl: Iowa vs. Arkansas
Pinstripe Bowl: Maryland vs. Virginia
Guaranteed Rate Bowl: Minnesota vs. Air Force

Michigan State is now projected to lose to Penn State, so their hold on the NY6 bid is pretty tenuous. If Oregon makes the playoff (I have them picking up their second loss at Utah and missing), the second Pac 12 team could take MSU's spot and bump the rest of the Big Ten. Penn State being 8-4 instead of 7-5 last week tells me the Big Ten may be open to sending them to Florida, bumping Iowa to the Music City where they were supposed to play last year. Again, the Minnesota connection to the Guaranteed Rate Bowl made some sense to me, leaving Purdue in Vegas.

For those rooting for Purdue in Florida... chaos in the other regions and as many Big Ten teams as possible snapping up NY6 bids would be a help.
