College football bowl season is well under way and the Big Ten is finally about to dip its toes in the postseason fun. A total of nine Big Ten teams are playing in bowl games this season, including Penn State in the Peach Bowl, and Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl as at-large options for the New Years Six bowl lineup and Michigan in the Rose Bowl for the College Football Playoff semifinal. Our staff here at Nittany Lions Wire gathered our thoughts and wanted to share our official predictions for each Big Ten bowl game. Our fabulous contributors Brad Wakai and Charlie Strella sent me their official thoughts and predictions for each game, and it does seem we have some similar thoughts on a number of these Big Ten bowl games.
Below are all of our predictions for each bowl game involving a Big Ten team starting with Northwestern’s appearance in the Las Vegas Bowl and all the way through Michigan’s College Football Playoff matchup with Alabama in the Rose Bowl.
Please note that we are not sharing our official Peach Bowl picks just yet. Instead, we offered some quick overview thoughts about Penn State’s matchup with Ole Miss and we will share our official predictions next week during our regular football week schedule.
