The Big Ten has 10 teams in bowl games. That's good! Take that, all you haters who said the league was down this year.

But, um, all 10 of the teams are underdogs. Yes, that's right. None of them are favored in the betting line to win. They're all somewhere between 3 and 13.5 point underdogs.

Mike Hlas of the Cedar Rapids Gazette breaks it down here, and notes that, "This is kind of incredible." He does, though, predict four Big Ten bowl victories. He is correct in noting that 8 of the 10 spreads are less than a touchdown, so it's not as though blowouts are predicted.

That said, not a single favorite? That hurts. The Gophers, by the way, are 6-point underdogs against Missouri of the SEC.
