CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm is still a believer in the B1G.

At the midway point of the season, he still has 11 B1G teams making the postseason and three of them going to New Year’s Six bowls in his latest projections.

The SEC is the only other conference with three New Year’s Six teams and no other conference is projected to have 11 bowl teams. Needless to say, that’d be a B1G record.

But Palm didn’t take Wisconsin out of his New Year’s Six field after the Badgers lost their second game of the year. Perhaps more people are believing in Wisconsin long-term.

Here are his projections for each B1G team:

BOWLS B1G TEAM OPPONENT
Fiesta Bowl (CFP) Ohio State Clemson
Rose Bowl (NY6) Michigan Stanford
Orange Bowl (NY6) Wisconsin Louisville
Outback Bowl Nebraska Georgia
Music City Bowl Minnesota Florida
Foster Farms Bowl Indiana Washington State
Pinstripe Bowl Iowa Pittsburgh
Holiday Bowl Penn State Colorado
Heart of Dallas Bowl Michigan State W. Kentucky
Quick Lane Bowl Northwestern Boston College
Armed Forces Bowl Maryland Navy
