Preseason Big Ten bowl projections, college football playoff predictions for 2022

The Big Ten has a rich, rich history in bowl games, and the expectations are that it will continue in 2022, or so we think.

Here at Buckeyes Wire, we keep the tradition going and give you a look at where we think all the teams in the conference will end up when the dust settles on the season, one that is one of the last before some cataclysmic shake-ups in conference teams and affiliations take place.

We re-evaluate after each week with games and projects based on what we have seen, but first, we must have a base to go from, so we’re peering into the crystal ball before the season starts to determine where we think each time might land.

Keep in mind these scenarios are very complicated with bowl tie-ins and contractual preferences for teams that have not been involved in certain matches, so we do our best to track it all. We also throw in the College Football Playoff picks as a cherry on top of it all.

Below is a look at the bowl projections and playoff picks before all the fun begins for the 2022 season.
