Back with the last installment of Sagarin point spreads for the season; the B1G bowl picks (along with national title predictions). Things generally aren't good for the conference by these numbers - but that's why we'll play the games. Though non-B1G teams are favored, the majority of matchups are within my completely arbitrary "toss-up" window, more than some in the national media would have you believe at this point. Looking forward to a great bowl season.
Using GOLDEN_MEAN:
Illinois +11.5 vs La Tech

Nebraska +2 vs USC
Maryland +8.5 vs Stanford
Wisconsin +11 vs Auburn
Michigan State PICK vs Baylor
Minnesota +10 vs Missouri
Ohio State +4 vs Alabama
Iowa +5.5 vs Tennessee
Likely losses (games >6 points in non-B1G favor): Illinois, Maryland, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Toss-ups (games within 6 points): Rutgers, Penn State, Nebraska, Michigan State, Ohio State, Iowa
Using PREDICTOR:
