Trending ESPNs Bowl Predicitons

espn.com released their first bowl predictions for the 2009 season.
First, here are the Big Ten tie-ins:

Rose, Capital One, Outback, Insight, Alamo, Champs Sports, and Motor City (LCPP?)

On their first predictions the experts have placed Michigan in either the Champs Sports Bowl (Mark Sclabach's pick) vs. UNC or the PapaJohns.com Bowl vs. Cincinnati (apparently Bruce Feldman doesn't think a 10th SEC team will meet their bowl quota).

Turning their predictions into BigTen order of finish would go as follows:

2Penn StOSU
3IowaIllinois
4IllinoisMSU
5WisconsinWisconsin
6MSUIowa
7MichiganNorthwestern
8MinnesotaMichigan/Minnesota*


* Taking non-BigTen spots due to non-qualifiers

Those do not seem out of the realm of possibility. It is worth noting that in Feldman's prediction the Big Ten only gets one team in a BCS Bowl.
