The B1G is beating up on each other, and except for the loss of QB Stave and the delicacy of Robinson’s elbow/nerve damage, many of the teams projected to bowls have improved. Beating up on each other in conference play doesn’t say anything about how these teams will match up in the bowls. What it does say is how important specific matchups will be in the bowls. Purdue loses to Ohio St. in overtime, but get blown out by Michigan and Minnesota. Who called that in September?

Basically what I’m saying is, the matchups are potentially daunting, but there is reason to hope.

The moral of the story is: don’t break rules. Without the BCS bid, that moved the strength of the B1G bowl lineup in the B1G’s favor one spot, but then the loss of Ohio St. and Penn St. in the bowl lineup moved the strength up two spots. The net result are the projected matchups.

Ohio St. would be projected for the Rose Bowl. Penn St. would be projected for the Outback, probably, maybe even the Capital One. Fill in the rest of the projected eligible teams from there…see what I mean?

Nebraska and Michigan who if Robinson is lost will more than likely lose two or three games would finish up tied for the dividion. MSU could end up 8-3 with a better bowl slotted for them. Don’t give the division to nebraska so easily.
