Big Ten Football 2020 Bowl Projections and College Football Playoff picks, week 4

Time to take another look into where we see all the Big Ten teams will head go bowling, and some College Football Playoff predictions.

The Big Ten has a rich, rich history in historical bowl games, and the expectations are set for that to continue in 2020, 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.

We reassess after each week of games and project things based on what we’ve seen. After giving this thing a run just prior to the season, we now have some separation between teams with four weeks down in conference play. We’ve seen some surprises (hello Indiana), and some non-surprises (Michigan crashes again, again).

Keep in mind some bowls aren’t planning on having a game this year, so it culls things down just a wee bit for the lower end, lesser money-making bowl games.

Also, remember these scenarios are very complicated with basically all teams eligible this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. There are also agreements with bowls to not repeat the same program over a certain time-frame if at all possible that may or may not pertain this season.

Here’s a look at the projections after week four in the Big Ten.
