I’ll be the first to admit it. We provide B1G football news to B1G fans with a B1G slant. We do our best to maintain an unbiased approach, but we could be called B1G apologists.

Big Ten Network Stanley Jackson took that to a whole new level.

He picked not one, not two but THREE B1G teams for his College Football Playoff ballot on Wednesday.

In Jackson’s defense, he provided his current poll. That doesn’t mean he necessarily thinks that three B1G teams will make the College Football Playoff. He just thinks that based on the results right now, Iowa can make a claim that it belongs in the top four.

In actuality, the chance of even two B1G teams making the College Football Playoff is slim.

The real question is, what’s Clemson doing there? Why doesn’t he have Michigan filling the last spot?
