Big Ten announces bowl lineup

The Big Ten recently announced its bowl lineup in a season with more parody than ever within conference.

Sure bowl teams in Iowa, Ohio State and Penn State are all ranked within the nation’s top-25 teams, with Michigan also receiving votes.

The conference’s success thus far sets the stage for a bowl season with far more conference representation than years past.

Although they faced inferior talent, Wisconsin only stands at 5-1, and both Northwestern and Minnesota only have two losses for the season.

Here is a full list of bowls available to Big Ten teams from late December of 2010 to Jan. 1 of 2011 and during the next three seasons.
