Jerry Palm of CBSSports.com has his latest bowl projections out, with only the Big Ten title game left. Can?t imagine things will change much from here on out.

Palm, a Purdue grad who played in the marching band, has 10 Big Ten teams in the postseason, with Michigan, Northwestern, Indiana and Purdue the only schools out.
Palm has no Big Ten teams in the playoffs, but three are in ?selection committee? bowls-up from one last week.
Here is how Palm lines up the Big Ten.
Cotton: Ohio State vs. Arizona
Peach: Michigan State vs. TCU
Fiesta: Wisconsin vs. Boise State
Citrus: Minnesota vs. Missouri
Pinstripe: Penn State vs. Duke
Heart of Dallas: Illinois vs. Marshall
See all of Palm's projections.
This would be a fun bowl docket, highlighted by Ohio State vs. Arizona, which is coached by former Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez. That would be entertaining, wouldn't it?
Another big-time matchup would be Michigan State vs. TCU in a rematch of the 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, which the Spartans won in comeback fashion. That said, don't be surprised if TCU makes its way into the top four.
