The Big Ten has a rich, rich history in bowling, and the expectations are that it will continue in 2021, or so we think.
Here at Buckeyes Wire, we keep the tradition going and give you a look at where we think all the teams in the conference will end up when the dust settles on the season, one that is hopefully COVID-19 drama-free.
We re-evaluate after each week with games and projects based on what we have seen. As each week goes on, we know a little more about each team and what things look like, and we’re starting to get a little better idea of how good teams are. Week 5 offered more to look at and more evidence of what postseason plays might look like, but it’s still fairly early in the season.
Keep in mind that these scenarios are very complicated with bowl-tie-ins and contractual preferences for teams that have not been involved in certain matches, so we do our best to track it all.
Here’s a look at the bowl projections after Week 5 of the college football season.
