Saturday Night Football: Big Ten Title Game, ACC Title Game, Kansas State vs. Texas
By Ty Duffy
Big Ten Title Game: Live from Lucas Oil, it’s the game everyone has been waiting for, in the Delany household. If Wisconsin wins it will have the worst Rose Bowl participant winning percentage since World War Two. Few would own such a feat quite as well as Bret Bielema. Wisconsin would also be the first B1G team to reach three-straight Rose Bowls since Michigan in 1979.
This was a field goal game in Lincoln. Wisconsin, despite three overtime losses, has stabilized. Nebraska must slow down Montee Ball without defensive tackle Baker Steinkuhler, who was huge in the first meeting. We picked Wisconsin, though we seem to be in the minority.
Kansas State vs. Texas: Kansas State wins the Big 12 with a win. The Baylor loss took a lot of steam out of this game. It’s too bad there is not a playoff this season, though the upcoming playoff iteration might have seen a Big 12 champion Kansas State not reach the final round of voting.
Simulation: What If Sports simulated how Notre Dame would have fared playing Alabama’s SEC schedule. The Irish would have been favored to win every game.
