The matchups:
Iowa vs. USC (frick)
Michigan State vs. Wake Forest (frick)
Penn State vs. Memphis (frick)
OSU vs. Clemson (nailed it)
Cal vs. Illinois (Money)
Bama vs. Michigan (knew it)
Auburn vs. Minnesota (cmon Auburn)
Oregon vs. Wisconsin
VOLS vs. Indiana

The only one I’m shaky on is MSU Wake Forest. Big 10 has been leaning on itself all year, is generally unproven in major OOC games (if I hear one more Fox Sports guy act like OSU slayed a dragon when they beat Cincinnati it’s going to give me a stroke), and there’s good reason to think they get totally smoked on the top-end bowls (OSU, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan). Hell im even all in on Memphis over Penn State.

It’s going to be a blood bath.

Ain't gonna happen.

Not sure which B1G you've been watching all season but they'll win a few.

Bama vs Michigan will be closer than expected because Bama will have trouble getting up for that game.

Wisconsin is very capable of beating Oregon.

I like Memphis State over Penn State too.

Auburn should mudhole Minnesota but this is gonna be Minneso superbowl and I just hope Auburn gets up for this game.

Iowa will probably beat SoCal.

Wake seems overrated to me. Michigan State .... I just don't know.

Even a passive bama will still spit all over Michigan. I have no clue where the faith in Michigan comes from. Who have they beaten? Penn State? They blow too.

Wisconsin will make it look like a game against Oregon for 10 minutes but they can’t compete with Oregon’s speed. Unless Herbert shits the bed then Oregon runs away with that too.

I’ll admit I’m also shaky on Iowa USC but I’m taking them with about as much confidence as I’m taking Wake over MSU.

I think the big 10 will get a couple wins or have a good shot. I'm taking Ohio State over Clemson and wisconson winning theirs. Don't see the big 10 winning any others

That’s what they were known as until like the 1990s or so. We still call them that both out of habit and to make them butthurt.

Little bit of both for me.

Had an immediate family member attend there '58-'62, played for Spook Murphy so it was sorta entrenched in our family ..... but I do kinda like the butt chaffing it causes when it's evoked and a Memphis State fan sees it. lol

I've been wondering if alabama can get up to play Michigan. conversely, can Michigan get up? I've taken it for granted but when I watch Michigan they generally look pretty flat.

We prefer to be called Tiger High.

You know, like... "can you believe that Ole Miss got beat by Tiger High this year?"

Texas would be 3-6 in the B1G.

Except for OSU/Clemson, this is going to be dependent on who cares for these games. Hard to get a read on that. For some teams it is a big game (Memphis, Minnesota) while others are disappointed they are there (Bama, UGA). Who knows what will happen.

Has a major conference ever gotten swept in bowl season?

Memphis is down two starters. Tight end has an infection in his knee.

Offensive tackle is off the team to focus on future endeavors that don't include the Tigers in a joint decision between he and the coach.

Not sure how that'll factor into things.

Iowa is going to beat USC and it may not be close.

No PSU won that game.

I agree that the B1G will lose a few this year, but not all of them.

I think OSU is standing on a house of cards. I think ClemPson takes em to the woodshed.

Hey Milk, thanks for having a shitty coach who let us take Fleming from your back yard. It’s nice to be surrounded by trash arse B1G recruiters, in fact throw Texas Tom in there too, the Texas to Ohio pipeline has been outstanding.
