We likely won't know the Big Ten's bowl lineup until Dec. 7, when the final BCS standings are announced. But here's a projected look at how the Big Ten will fill its bowls:
PENN STATE
Projected bowl: Rose, Jan. 1, vs. Southern California.
Comment: The Nittany Lions will go to Pasadena, unless they miraculously sneak into the BCS title game.
OHIO STATE
Projected bowl: Fiesta, Jan. 1, vs. Texas Tech
Comment: If Oregon State beats Oregon to earn the Pac-10 title, USC likely would bump the Buckeyes out of the BCS.
MICHIGAN STATE
Projected bowl: Capital One, Jan. 1, vs. Georgia.
Comment: Ohio State would bump Spartans to Outback if only one Big Ten team makes the BCS.
IOWA
Projected bowl: Outback, Jan. 1, vs. South Carolina.
Comment: Look for the Hawkeyes to leap over Northwestern.
NORTHWESTERN
Projected bowl: Alamo, Dec. 28, vs. Oklahoma State
Comment: Wildcats probably deserve the Outback.
WISCONSIN
Projected bowl: Champs Sports, Dec. 27, vs. Miami (Fla.)
Comment: Badgers have been to Florida frequently, so might land in the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Ariz.
GOPHERS
Projected bowl: Insight, Dec. 31, vs. Nebraska
Comment: Might end up in Orlando for Champs Sports.
