The 2013-14 bowl schedule has been released, and that means it's time for the national pundits to rank the games, from 1 to 35. Regardless of the ranking, the Big Ten's best bowls are all over the top of the lists. No surprise there. See where several sites ranked the Big Ten bowls in this post.

No real shockers here. That said, I am mildly surprised people are putting the Orange Bowl one spot ahead of the Rose Bowl Game. Not a big deal, but what's not to like about two old-school teams like Michigan State and Stanford battling in The Granddaddy of Them All? It's going to be great.
