The guy has a degree in computer science from Purdue. He was in the marching band, but I won’t hold that against him. Me? I barely got into Purdue! And I wasn’t in the band&#8211;but I did listen to a lot of music in my frat house on David Ross Road.

		<description><![CDATA[The regular season is over. All that’s left is the Big Ten title game, which could alter the Big Ten bowl projections at the top of the pecking order. We know this for sure: seven teams will go bowling, as Purdue and Michigan State punched their tickets with wins on Saturday to join Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan, Northwestern and Minnesota. That means the Big Ten won’t be able to fill its eighth and final bowl spot in the Little Caesar’s Bowl. If Ohio State and Penn State weren’t on probation, the Big Ten bowl ranks would swell to nine.

But with Notre Dame—my projection last week to play the Huskers in Pasadena&#8211;now projected to play in the BCS title game, the Cornhuskers have a new foe: Oregon. Michigan (Capital One) and Wisconsin (Outback) remain poised to play in Florida on New Year’s Day.

All three are coming off wins and figure to land nice bowl slots, regardless of what the matchup ends up being in Indianapolis. A big winner on Saturday was Minnesota, which became bowl eligible for the first time since 2009 with a win at Illinois. The other big winner over the weekend was Purdue. The Boilermakers’ 27-24 win at Iowa was victory No. 4 and it broke a five-game losing skid. It also fuels the chances for Purdue to get to a bowl [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=82680&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No changes at the top of my bowl projections this week with Nebraska and Michigan taking care of business, and Wisconsin and Northwestern being off. But the “lower-tier” bowls are in flux. I don’t have Purdue, Iowa or Indiana in my projections, meaning the Big Ten will fill just six of its eight bowl slots. The 3-6 Boilermakers—losers of five in a row&#8211;must win out to get bowl eligible, finishing at Iowa, at Illinois, vs. Indiana. Not likely to happen.

		<description><![CDATA[With just over a month to play, the bowl picture is starting to come into focus. You can’t talk bowls without talking bowl payouts. And, in 2012, the Big Ten’s postseason bottom line may take a hit. The Big Ten has eight guaranteed bowl slots, but it may not be able to fill all of those. That&#8217;s not the real concern, though. This is: The Big Ten figures to have just one BCS team. The Big Ten has sent two teams to money-making BCS bowls each season since 2005 and 11 times in the 14-year history of the system.

		<description><![CDATA[The bowl picture got a bit jumbled after a topsy-turvy weekend. The big winner was Nebraska, which moved into the Rose Bowl slot with its triumph over Michigan. The Legends Division is the Cornhuskers if they win out, which could set up a likely clash with Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. The Huskers beat the Badgers, 30-27, earlier this season. Michigan still is primed for a nice bowl and still could go to the Rose if it wins out and sees Nebraska lose.
