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 8 offered another big upset of a team in the top ten along with some surprising struggles from other big-name teams, so it’s had us once again shuffle our bowl projections and predictions.
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.
