Congrats to Rutgers on winning their third Big 10 title!! Well deserved and proves the point that no matter how bad you start if you stick with it you still have a shot. In the past Rutgers has went into the postseason with lots of expectations and pressure. This season they are playing with house money and it might just be their best shot to advance and fly under the radar.
Congrats to Kentucky for snatching an at Large bid into the bowl playoffs. With a new AD taking over midseason times weren't looking good for the Wildcats. They righted the ship and the newfound stability has been a welcome sight in Lexington. A team with enough talent to do some damage, this is a team that has packed their bags and are ready to be road warriors.
Congrats to Oklahoma St. on grabbing an at Large bid into the bowl playoffs. Coming a National Championship the Cowboys took a long time to get it rolling. Call it a hangover or just a reflection of their tough road schedule start, but this team is far too talented to not be back. Led by a lethal QB and one of the best defensive backs in the nation, this team is scary and will be poised to get back to the title game.
Congrats to Michigan on grabbing an at Large bid into the bowl playoffs. A team that has taken fire for the lack of results in the past the Wolverines have put together one of the best second halves winning 9 of their last 10 games. With a young QB and loads of talent on both sides of the ball the Wolverines are looking to ride this newfound confidence as far as it will take them.
