B1G Bowl Projections, Week 7: Michigan looks Rose-y
Michigan is looking stronger by the week and looked impressive in defeating Wisconsin.
Penn State squandered another fourth-quarter lead at home.
Those results combined to shake up the Big Ten bowl projections this week.
The Wolverines, whose only loss came at Notre Dame, move into the New Year’s Day 6 bowl picture — the Rose Bowl, to be exact. Ohio State remains in the College Football Playoff projections while the Nittany Lions, for now, slip out of the NYD6 and into the Citrus Bowl in the B1G bowl pecking order.
That’s the biggest news to come out of this weekend, which otherwise pretty much went to expected form.
Now, on to this week’s projections:
