I'd say the B1G has a decent shot to have a winning record looking at the matchups, probably looking at a 4-3 record or thereabouts.

Rose Bowl: MSU vs Stanford (-3.5): MSU
Orange Bowl: OSU (-4) vs Clemson: Toss up
Capital One Bowl: Wisconsin (-2) vs South Carolina: Toss up
Outback Bowl: Iowa vs LSU (-8): LSU
BWW Bowl: Michigan (-2.5) vs Kansas State: Michigan
Gator Bowl: Nebraska vs Georgia (-7): Toss up
Texas Bowl: Minnesota (-3.5) vs Syracuse: Minnesota

Odds from: http://www.covers.com/articles/articles.aspx?theArt=348719

The only team I think doesn't have a shot to win is Iowa against LSU; none of the other matchups would surprise me if the B1G team wins.

OSU Clemson is not a toss up. OSU will hammer them by 40.

And seriously, Nebraska Georgia is a toss up? Georgia is terrible, that will be a 3 TD blowout.

I dunno, I am leaning Nebraska, but they aren't all that good either. Maybe their defense will figure things out and whoever their QB is will play well enough that it will be a blowout.

Unfortunately I can see the B1G going 2-5 in that mess, with 4-3 being a stretch for absolute best.

The bet is simple; Ohio State beat Michigan again. That's the bet.

So in other words you aren't serious.

Iowa and Nebraska should lose, everyone else should win, but I see Wisconsin failing to win.
Sparty and Stanford will be an enjoyable game for 5pm on New Years Day.

Possibly. But OSU still won't beat Clemson by 40.

They certainly should but we already saw that OSU can't play defense.

It's just hyperbole for him. Look at his B1G championship prediction, and the tOSU/Clemson and Nebraska/UGA predictions above

Oh I know. That's why I wanted to see if he'd bet anything.

This is about bowl games, not next year's regular season, dipshits.

Rose Bowl MSU vs Stanford is a toss up.
Orange Bowl Ohio St should win but if that defense does not improve Clemson will drop 50 on them.
Capital One bowl Toss up but leaning towards South Carolina Wisconsin needs to be more consistent.
Outback Bowl LSU in a big way over Iowa
BWW Bowl Michigan should win this game and if they play like they did against Ohio St it will not be that close
Gator Bowl Georgia all over Nebraska.
Texas Bowl Minnesota vs Syracuse is a toss up.

Actually it's about proving a point. WebFire wants to make bets; I'll make bets.

Really, you were curious as to whether the guy who guaranteed iPads to everyone would live up to any kind of bet?
