Week 10 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown
Not surprisingly, things are starting to get shaken up at the top. Losses by TCU, Michigan State and LSU have made things very interesting. Certainly any one-loss Big Ten or SEC champion can still make the field of four. For the Spartans, if they can beat Ohio State, they should finish conference play at 7-1 and own the tie-breaker over the Buckeyes. Then they’d have to beat, presumably, Iowa in the Big Ten title game. It is a bit tougher for LSU. They need Alabama to lose again to even have a chance of winning the SEC West. In the Big 12, Oklahoma State and Baylor step into the spotlight. The Cowboys are riding high after beating TCU and they get both Baylor and Oklahoma at home to end the year. Baylor, along with their trip to Stillwater, also must travel to TCU.
