It is time for the Big Ten football bowl games predictions. I will put up also the level of confidence I have of each of the predictions.
Michigan State over Wake Forest 75% confident
USC over Iowa 53%
Penn State over Memphis 90%
Ohio State over Clemson 51%
Cal over Illinois 53%
Alabama over Michigan 95%
Auburn over Minnesota 95%
Wisconsin over Oregon 55%
Tennessee over Indiana 60%
So that makes 4-5 for Big Ten. I think it maybe the first time I predict that they will end up with a losing record. As you can see there are 4 games that I have practical no confidence about my prediction, they are basically tossups to me. Unfortunately, I am quite confident that Michigan has no chance against Alabama. OSU dropped to second really is bad for them since Clemson is a much more difficult draw than Oklahoma would have been. I think Clemson will probably be the favorite in Las Vegas although I was very impressed with OSU the two games I saw them play, against Michigan and Penn State.
Wow, we actually agree on all except for the Indiana game! This has to be a first. I will not do the confidence index though!
