Bowl games - Big 10 and MNC

[amazinblue]

The lineup is out, and here's what's in store for the Big 10:

Wisconsin vs. Florida State, Champs Sports Bowl (Orlando, December 27th)
A chance for redemption for the Badgers. I hate the Seminoles - and hope the Badgers are pumped.

Northwestern vs. Missouri, Alamo Bowl (San Antonio, December 29th)
I don't think that Northwestern can stop Chase Daniel.

Minnesota vs. Kansas, Insight Bowl (Tempe, December 31st)
Minnesota might keep it close.

Iowa vs. South Carolina, Outback Bowl (Tampa, January 1st)
Iowa surprises people and beats the Ole Ball Coach.

MSU vs. Georgia, Capital One Bowl (Orlando, January 1st)
I'd love to seen Dantonio and Spart put another dart in the heart of the SEC.

PSU vs. USC, Rose Bowl (Pasadena, January 1st)
PSU might be able to keep it close, USC is VERY tough.

OSU vs. Texas, Fiesta Bowl (Phoenix / Glendale, January 5th)
The Buckeyes will have their hands full. Colt McCoy and Mack Brown will be out to make a statement.


And, just for fun - the MNC game...

Florida vs. Oklahoma, BCS Championship (Miami, January 8th)


What do you think is going to happen?

[michfan123]

Northwestern vs. Missouri, Alamo Bowl Mizzou big

Minnesota vs. Kansas, Insight Bowl Kansas, Minnesota is a complete fraud

Iowa vs. South Carolina, Outback Bowl Honestly no idea, the only player I can name from either team is Shonn Green. I'll say Iowa because of him and their D-Line

MSU vs. Georgia, Capital One Bowl Georgia big

PSU vs. USC, Rose Bowl USC wins handily, Penn State doesn't have the firepower to match up with that defense

OSU vs. Texas, Fiesta Bowl Texas big. What a joke.

======

The Big Ten is going to get killed.

Northwestern vs. Missouri, Alamo Bowl (San Antonio, December 29th)
Missouri wins this one pretty easily, I think

Minnesota vs. Kansas, Insight Bowl (Tempe, December 31st)
A match of two bad teams.....I'm going with Minnessota

Iowa vs. South Carolina, Outback Bowl (Tampa, January 1st)
Iowa a pretty good team, better than South Carolina IMO. Iowa win this game by less than a touchdown.

MSU vs. Georgia, Capital One Bowl (Orlando, January 1st)
MSU has a good coach, good running back. They haven't played enough good teams, and doesn't have big game experience. I think this game will be close till around the last quarter. Georgia wins going away.

PSU vs. USC, Rose Bowl (Pasadena, January 1st)
PSU drew the toughest ticket of the entire bowl season. PSU's loaded and had a very good year.

USC is the best program in the business, this will get ugly pretty quick, USC wins big.

OSU vs. Texas, Fiesta Bowl (Phoenix / Glendale, January 5th)
If OSU has any heart what so ever.....they'll prepare well, and bring it for this game.

I think this game could rival the Florida game as the most competitive BCS game of the season......I never root for Ohio State, so we'll just see.

Florida vs. Oklahoma, BCS Championship (Miami, January 8th)
Oklahoma's real sharp, Stoops is doing a hellava job. Tebow reminds me of Vince Young.....with a better arm, but can't run as good.....he's a beast.

This is probably the best game of all for this season, but I think Florida has already played their toughest opponent in Alabama. I just wish USC was playing Florida instead of the Sooners.

This game will come down to opportunity costs, and pressure situations. Florida outlasts Oklahoma in this one.

[RealSchool]

Iowa is the only win.

USC IMO is the best team in the country and will murder Penn State.

OSU loses by 28

Oklahoma beats Florida and wins another fraud BCS title.

[TNTWolverine]

Furthermore, which game will be closer: OSU - Texas or PSU - USC?

[Buzz]

Oklahoma beats Florida and wins another fraud BCS title.

Yeah, a complete fraud. A computer picks the teams that plays in the BCS title. It really is an abomination.

[michfan123]

I don't think USC is going to murder Penn State. But there's no way PSU can match up with them. I think it'll go down the same way it did Mich v. USC two years ago; it'll be close at half and then USC will roll away with it. I'll say 28-14 SC.

Texas should be playing Alabama. I will enjoy watching McCoy, Shipley, Ogbonnaya and co. destroy OSU though.

I think Georgia will expose MSU for the fraud that they were this year. I don't see Ringer doing anything.

Wisconsin is playing Florida State also. Them and Iowa are the Big Ten's only hope.

[MgoMatt]

Last year looked grim too, but the Big Ten did all right.

I say we win slightly more than half (but OSU has no chance).

[Vested_Interest]

...at least we needn't wonder as to the Wolverines’ fate in their bowl (http://www.tempe.gov/conservation/images/toilet1.jpg). Rodriguez already flushed it this season, and word has it that he's jiggling the handle in preparation for next year!

[Medic]

Why is anyone picking Oklahoma given their history of epic choke jobs in bowl games? They do this every year, play a godlike regular season and then lose the bowl game. They've lost 4 of their last 5 bowl games and were 3 points from 0-5. I think Florida wins that game because they can grind out long ass drives on the ground and keeps the Sooners offense off the field.

Man I hope I am wrong but this could be the worst B10 bowl year ever.

Texas over OSU 52-10. As a B10 fan this will be hard to watch, as a Michigan fan it will be hilarious.

Iowa over SC 21-17 Greene carries his team.

Florida State over Wisconsin 10-7. Let's face it, this year Wisconsin found some pretty incredible ways to lose and needed a miracle against Cal Poly

Missouri over Northwestern 35-7 Northwestern is a total fraud.

Kansas over Minnesota 42-24 So is Minnesota.

Georgia over MSU 48-14 So is Michigan State.

USC over PSU 31-13. Pete owns the B10 and this wont be any different.

[GoGreen23]

This is shaping up to be another crappy year where the Big Ten will get steamrolled as a conference. Get ready for another year of Big Ten bashing. Seriously I think we are the underdog in every one of our matchups. Who picks these teams, OSU getting another BCS berth is the worst thing that could have happened. Slide everyone down a bowl and I think the results would be better than the 1-5 I'm predicting.


Wisconsin vs. Florida State, Champs Sports Bowl (Orlando, December 27th)
Normally I'd pick Wisconsin but they're having a down year. But I doubt that the ACC has any O-line or Rushing Attack that Wisconsin has. Furthermore, Florida State hasn't really impressed me too much this year. I still think they'll probably win though.

Northwestern vs. Missouri, Alamo Bowl (San Antonio, December 29th)
Is this game for real? Missouri wins big.

Minnesota vs. Kansas, Insight Bowl (Tempe, December 31st)
Minnesota isn't that good, but neither is Kansas. They did play a tougher schedule, so I'll go with the Jayhawks.

Iowa vs. South Carolina, Outback Bowl (Tampa, January 1st)
This is probably the only Bowl Game a Big Ten team wins, Shonn Greene is a beast.

MSU vs. Georgia, Capital One Bowl (Orlando, January 1st)
As much as I'd like to see my Spartans get a win here, I think they are outmatched. Georgia will probably win.

PSU vs. USC, Rose Bowl (Pasadena, January 1st)
PSU is a good team, but USC is a better team. I think this game will be competitive because when has Pete Carol or JoePa come out flat in their bowl game?

OSU vs. Texas, Fiesta Bowl (Phoenix / Glendale, January 5th)
Another game that I think will be a loss for the Big Ten. Yes OSU beat them the last time they played but that was 4 years ago. If the USC game is any indication, look for OSU to get flattened.


And, just for fun - the MNC game...

Florida vs. Oklahoma, BCS Championship (Miami, January 8th)

I think this will be an exciting game with a lot of points scored. I just want Oklahoma to win, even though I think Texas should be playing instead. Just so another conference can win for a change!

MSU vs. Georgia, Capital One Bowl Georgia big

OSU vs. Texas, Fiesta Bowl Texas big. What a joke.

The Big Ten is going to get killed.

You can mirror these pics for me. Except I think Iowa will win, and FSU will probably outlast Wiscy. I'm hoping the FLA D will make all the difference in the MNC.

[Bossgobbler23]

Wisconsin vs. Florida State - FSU by 6

Northwestern vs. Missouri, Alamo Bowl - Chase Daniel is too much. Mizzo in a high scoring shootout by 7.

Minnesota vs. Kansas - Jayhawks easily. Minnesota is cold in more than one way.

Iowa vs. South Carolina, Outback Bowl - Iowa is hot and pulls one out for the Big Ten.

MSU vs. Georgia, Capital One Bowl - Sparty wins the power game by 1.

PSU vs. USC, Rose Bowl - SC NEVER loses to the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl. Penn State's slow starts cost them in this one. SC by 10.

OSU vs. Texas, Fiesta Bowl - Texas should be in the NC game and takes it out on an outmanned and over-rated OSU team by 17

Florida vs. Oklahoma, BCS Championship (Miami, January 8th) This is a BIG toss up. However, given Urban's bowl record vs Oklahoma's I have to give it to the Gators. These games should be close but usually end up in a land slide. This one is no different.

[blueisbetterthanred]

I think we might see a split national championship again this year. If florida beats OK by less than a touchdown and Texas destroys osu by 20 or more points, I think they have a good case.

[rickyleach]

i can see texas beating ohio state 38 -21 ,usc 41 penn state 13, georgia 35 msu 17, mizzu 45 northwestern 14, minny will win wisky will win and iowa will win.. and the big10 will be the horses asss for another year, especially after osu and penn state get shmoked, the image of the big10 will sink to a alltime low , then next season the pressure will be back on when usc comes to ohio state and shmoke them in the shhoe

[rickyleach]

oh i almost forgot being that i live in c/bus, you would not believe how worried most of the buckeye fans are , they were hopeing not to play texas bama fla or okla, guess what they already understand whats in store for their prigram, yes sir folks , IT IS THE ANNUAL BUCKEYE ASSS BEATING, AND IM GONNA LAUGH MY ASSS OFF , TRESSEL ON THE SIDELINES WITH HIS HEAD NECK AND SHOULDERS UP HIS REAREND , CAUSE BIG GAME JIMMY WONT HAVE A CLUE..

You are right my friend, they are in for one giant a$$ kicking.

[GoGreen23]

I'm going to laugh my *** off when the Big Ten wins all their bowl games and stuns the nation.

Too bad it's not going to happen, I can dream though.

[BBA1994]

That's what is great about you state fans, you're so optimistic. It's cute. It's like you try to convince yourselves that your team is going to stay consistent at 9-3 every year or that your school is somewhat on par with UM academically. It's awfully cute. I will say though that compared to UM, state has way hotter girls. Plus they are stupid and like to party. Best kind of girl is one that is drunk and stupid. Go State!
