That still would not be good enough for MarkMay, but when BG rolls Pitt, he can GFHS.

Dipshit, not dipshits. I'm talking about a bowl game this year. Sleeper is avoiding it.

Dipshit.

It's more about getting him to say he doesn't really believe what he says. Because we all know that has to be true.

I hope the BIG goes undefeated and PITT loses by 100 just so mark may finally kills himself.

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.
Rose Bowl: I think Stanford is one dimensional, and MSU has arguably the best defense in the country, so I tend to lean towards MSU; but I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see Stanford win.
Orange Bowl: I know many will call this a "homer" pick, but I gotta believe the Buckeyes will come out firing on all cylinders and handle Clemson. Urban > Dabo. Clemson has kind of a gimmicky offense like Oregon (where all they do is throw these quick hits / screens). Yes OSU's secondary is suspect, but I think the offense will put up points, and I think the defense will come prepared (especially after being exposed in it's last two outings).
Capital One: I like S. Carolina; but this is another close one.
Outback Bowl: LSU... and LSU BIG.
BWW: Michigan?
Gator Bowl: Aaron Murray is out, right? What about the rest of Georgia's injuries? Georgia might be THE most depleted team in the country. I might take Nebraska in this one; it will at least be a lot closer than 7 pts, I would think.
Texas Bowl: No clue. I'll say Minnesota.

With all that being said, I would be HIGHLY shocked to see the Big Ten come out of their bowl games with a winning record.

My predictions:
MSU
OSU
Wisconsin
LSU
Michigan
Georgia
Minny


5-2

Well, at least the B1G won't go winless on New Year's Day.
Soooo, that's an improvement from last year.

Almost as lame as predicting a 5-2 bowl record.

B1G has actually played pretty well today. Having the starting QB's get hurt for Iowa and Wisconsin hurt them, but they still played well. Nebraska beating Georgia was nice.

Ya know Se, I hate to agree with you on anything but I had actually thought the Iowa vs LSU game would be the ultimate blow out embarrassment. There are no trophies for moral victories but both Hawkeyes and Badgers represented themselves well today and Sparty may pull this thing out yet. I'm starting to worry the Bucks might be the worst loss of all.

Wait I forgot about the complete egg scUM laid the other night. They definitely will go down as the worst loss.

The ND loss was a bad one for ND... but man did their offense improve throughout the season.

This is a fun game to watch so far.

So maybe Cook didn't look so good just because OSU's secondary sucks
