Big Ten bowl projections and College Football Playoff predictions after Week 4

Our latest Big Ten bowl projections and College Football Playoff picks. How did Ohio State’s huge win over Notre Dame change things? #GoBucks

The Big Ten has a rich history in bowl games, and the expectations are it will continue in 2023 — we think.

Here at Buckeyes Wire, we keep the tradition going and look at where we think all of the teams in the conference will end up when the dust settles on the season. We re-evaluate after each week’s games and predict where teams will be traveling for the holidays based on what our little eyeballs tell us.

As it stands, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State should be shoo-ins for the postseason. Others such as Iowa (if it can find even a trickle of offense) and Wisconsin should be no-brainers as well. Additional teams could be on the fence with a game here or there making a huge difference on whether they make travel plans for the postseason.

Keep in mind the scenarios are very complicated with bowl tie-ins and contractual preferences for teams that have not been involved in certain locations, so we do our best to track it all. We also throw in the College Football Playoff picks as a cherry on top of it all.

Below is a look at the bowl predictions for Big Ten teams and complete playoff picks after Week 4.

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 now that the dust has settled on the regular season. We reevaluate after each week with games and projects based on what our little eyeballs tell us.

Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Maryland are bowl eligible from the East. Purdue, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin a eligible from the West. That makes nine teams traveling during the holiday season from the conference, and we’re here to project and predict what plane tickets they’ll be purchasing for travel to mostly warmer locations.

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 12 saw teams that had been winning, more or less keep winning aside from Michigan State that had a game to forget. It all plays into where we believe teams will be making travel plans for in the postseason.

We re-evaluate after each week with games and projects based on what we have seen.

It all goes into where we believe Big Ten teams will go for the postseason and who will get into the College Football Playoff.

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.

Keep in mind some bowls aren’t planning on having a game this year, so it culls the field 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.
