The Big Ten has a rich, rich history in bowl games, 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 has been — and hopefully will continue to be — COVID-19 drama-free for the most part.
We re-evaluate after each week with games and projects based on what we have seen. Week 10 offered another huge upset by Purdue who knocked off an undefeated Michigan State squad, as well as some more mild surprises across the league. It changed some of our projections on where teams will go, and in some cases, whether teams will even make a bowl game.
Keep in mind 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 10 of the college football season.
