Last week, I laid out scenarios in which Michigan could be invited to a New Year's Six bowl, whether it be the Rose, Fiesta, or Peach Bowl. However, all of those scenarios required one thing: beat Ohio State. Unfortunately, one week after the Buckeyes blew their Big Ten shot against a Connor Cook-less Michigan State, they looked like the team that, in the preseason, most of the nation feared that we'd see week in and week out.
With Ohio State, Michigan State, and Iowa each winning this weekend, the Big Ten's bowl pecking order is fairly set at the top.
