Do you cheer for Big Ten schools in bowl games? All, none, or some? For me it depends who they play. I wish there was more Big 10 vs. Big 12 in bowls.
Big Ten Bowl Games
- Thread starter Husker Hambone
- Start date
I hope we go 9-1 (that includes two Buckeye victories, and I've strangely developed a love of the Men of Troy).
Go B1G or Go Home.

Yes until the Iowa game then I’m all USC Trojans. Pretty sad I’m whiling to root for all the other BIG 10 teams but the way Iowa fans obsess with us on this board I refuse to root for them.
I will be watching to see how the average B1G teams do early on, i.e. Illinois, Indiana, Michigan State. It will tell me exactly where our conference is and who to pick in the later games.
Keith Duncan says "Thanks."I root for the conference for the most part. Yes, that includes Iowa
I root for all of them. I want the Big 10 to show we are the better conference. We have some tough draws, so it will be nice to get some victories. Although I hate them when we play them I'm all for the Big 10 dominating.
that part I can back up. As much as i dislike some of the BIG 10 teams I get tired of hearing about SEC this and the SEC that. Outside the top 2-3 teams in the SEC, the SEC isn’t any better then the BIG 10. Hell OSU equals one of the best SEC teams. And the bottom half of the BIG 10 is better then the bottom half of the SEC. BIG 10 and the SEC is definitely the top 2 but I don’t see the SEC being the best.
I always pull for the Big10 in bowl games...but if Ohio State is going to lose I hope they get crushed.
Anybody but the SEC.
Go Blue!

Rooting interest aside. I am thinking the Big 10 goes 4-5 in bowl games
Mich St vs Wake Forest - Wake 27-13
USC vs Iowa - Iowa 27- 23
Memphis vs Penn State - Penn State 34-24
Ohio State vs Clemson - Ohio State 34-33
Illinois vs Cal - Illinois 20-17
Minnesota vs Auburn - Auburn 32-21
Alabama vs Michigan - Bama 36-24
Oregon vs Wisconsin - Oregon 30-23
Tennessee vs Indiana - Tennessee 27-24
Mich St vs Wake Forest - Wake 27-13
USC vs Iowa - Iowa 27- 23
Memphis vs Penn State - Penn State 34-24
Ohio State vs Clemson - Ohio State 34-33
Illinois vs Cal - Illinois 20-17
Minnesota vs Auburn - Auburn 32-21
Alabama vs Michigan - Bama 36-24
Oregon vs Wisconsin - Oregon 30-23
Tennessee vs Indiana - Tennessee 27-24
I’m cheering for both Iowa and Wisconsin to get crushed... also hope Penn St and Michigan lose. Could care less about Minnesota, Mich St, Indiana, and Ohio St matchups. I Do think Clemson beats the Bucks though.
I feel the same way as I root against all B1G teams in every sport in support of my Hawkeyes.
I always root for every B1G school in the bowls, but I live in SEC country and it gets frustrating here sometimes.
While I'll admit the SEC is the best conference I don't think the gap is nearly as large as the people here think. If you ask ANYONE here who they think will win the playoffs you will get an immediate "Oh LSU for sure". IMO there are 3 teams that could easily win the title and honestly I'm not sure OU can't upset LSU just going on what the Tiger's defense has done at times. It wouldn't matter here if the B1G went undefeated and the SEC didn't win a game, the Southern hicks would still tell you how great the SEC is. The South is not exactly known for good schools and smart people to begin with (this is NOT a stereotype), and when it comes to football they can be downright obnoxious.

I really don't care either way. I see the point and all, "it make our conf look stronger". However it really doesn't matter what other teams in our conf do or don't do. In the end it is about Nebraska winning football games. If we do our jobs and win games, how strong our conf appears doesn't matter. However I am always always always cheering for Iowa to lose.
It would be a pity if someone would accidentally take him out next season. He better have his head on a swivel.
Yep, I don't usually advocate going after players. But if you want to be an arrogant dip ship you better expect consequences. I would bet Frost dials up something "extra" special for when he is on to kick.
Is that why you hate us? Deep down you know you cant match our program?
Or could there be other reasons to hate a program?
For example, we have done quite well against penn state. But I dont like them.
I do. It’s impressive what they do with 3 star talent. No reason to be bitter at them because they both current own us.
