The Big Ten has a rich, rich history in bowl games, and the expectations are set for that to continue in 2021, or so we think.
Here at Buckeyes Wire, we’re keeping with tradition and giving you a peek at where we think all the teams in the conference will end up when all the dust settles on the season, one that is hopefully COVID-19 drama free.
