When it comes to college football bowl projections, Jerry Palm is one of the best in the business.

Palm recently released his preseason bowl and playoff projections for the upcoming 2015 college football season, and he's a Big Ten believer.

"You can see a scenario where Michigan State goes 11-1, beating Oregon and losing only to 13-0 Ohio State, and both the Buckeyes and Spartans make the playoffs," Palm writes. "That would mean two leagues getting left out."

Again, that is just a potential scenario. Right now, Palm has defending national champion Ohio State in the playoff (Orange Bowl vs. Clemson), and Michigan State (Peach Bowl vs. Florida State) and Wisconsin (Rose Bowl vs. Oregon) in the New Year's Six.

Palm's other projected playoff matchup features TCU (Big 12) vs. Auburn (SEC).

Here is a look where Palm projects all Big Ten teams to be playing.
