<p>Bill Connelly of <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football">SB Nation College Football</a> has released his latest <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2011/11/28/2592757/bowl-projections-2011-college-football-bcs-alabama-lsu-week-14t">bowl projections</a>, and it looks like fans of midwestern football will have plenty to watch from late December through early January.</p>
<p>Connelly projects the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/northern-illinois-huskies">Northern Illinois Huskies</a> (9-3) to square off against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/arkansas-st-red-wolves">Arkansas St. Red Wolves</a> (9-2) on the January 8 <b>GoDaddy.com Bowl</b> in Mobile, Alabama. The GoDaddy yearly pits Arkansas State against a top Mid-American Conference team. The Huskies, whom Bill projects will end the year at 10-3, finish their season this Friday night against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/ohio-bobcats">Ohio Bobcats</a>.</p>
<p>For the <b>Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl</b> on New Year's eve, Connelly foresees the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/illinois-fighting-illini">Illinois Fighting Illini</a> (6-6) playing the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/wyoming-cowboys">Wyoming Cowboys</a> (7-5). The Illini, who have <a href="http://chicago.sbnation.com/illinois-fighting-illini/2011/11/27/2589989/ron-zook-on-the-hot-seat-fighting-illini-coach-leaves-press-conference">reportedly fired</a> head coach Ron Zook, finished the season with six consecutive losses after starting 6-0.</p>
<p>On December 29, Connelly predicts the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/notre-dame-fighting-irish">Notre Dame Fighting Irish</a> (8-4) will face the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/florida-st-seminoles">Florida St. Seminoles</a> (8-4) in the <b>Champs Sports Bowl</b>. The Noles, who were at one point ranked in the top five of most polls, have won six of their last seven games. The Champs Sports Bowl typically pairs ACC and Big East teams.</p>
<p>Lastly, Connelly expects the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/northwestern-wildcats">Northwestern Wildcats</a> (6-6) to challenge the Ohio Bobcats (9-4) in the <b>Little Caesars Pizza Bowl</b>. The Pizza Bowl pairs Big Ten teams -- such as Northwestern -- against MAC teams -- such as the Bobcats. The Wildcats enter the possible as winners of four of their last five, including an upset over the No. 19 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/nebraska-cornhuskers">Nebraska Cornhuskers</a>.</p>

2011 Bowl Predictions: Notre Dame Likely Off To Champs Sports Bowl
<figure>

<p>In what could be one of the marquee match ups of the 2011 bowl season, <a href="http://cfn.scout.com/2/557866.html">Scout is predicting</a> that the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/notre-dame-fighting-irish">Notre Dame Fighting Irish</a> will take on the Florida State Seminoles in this year's Champs Sports Bowl. For fans and bowl executives alike, the game would pit two traditional powers who haven't faced each other since 2003.</p>
<p>For Notre Dame it would be one final measuring stick against a quality opponent as the program continues its attempt to climb back into the upper echelon of college football. The Irish went 1-3 vs. ranked teams this season, and in only one of those losses (to Michigan) were they competitive for four quarters. A potential victory over Florida State would give the Irish a strong momentum push heading into the off season.</p>

2011 Bowl Predictions: Nortwesthern Off To The Little Caesars Pizza Bowl?

<p>Though Northwestern ended the 2011 season with a disappointing 31-17 loss to the Michigan State Spartans to finish 6-6, in many respects most fans would likely deem the season as at least a mild success. The Wildcats battled injuries, and after sitting at 2-5 after a loss to Penn State, they reeled off four wins in their final five games, including a road victory over Nebraska that is one of the best in the program's history.</p>
<p>Thanks to winning four of those final five, the Wildcats will be bowl eligible again this season, which is nothing to scoff at. Scout's <a href="http://cfn.scout.com/2/557866.html">2011 bowl predictions</a> currently have Northwestern in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/northern-illinois-huskies">Northern Illinois Huskies</a>, a team that ended the season with six straight wins of their own to finish 9-3.</p>

2011 Bowl Predictions: Illinois Could Be Headed To The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl
<figure>
<img alt="" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/cmWVZDPbF6WZGWPFgXhd1yfCHyU=/0x26:400x293/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/47828105/large_chicago.sbnation.com.minimal.0.png" />

<p>A 6-6 season is likely not how Illinois players or fans pictured the Illini's 2011 season ending after the team started off 6-0, but the Illini did indeed finish with six straight losses, resulting in the <a href="http://chicago.sbnation.com/illinois-fighting-illini/2011/11/27/2589989/ron-zook-on-the-hot-seat-fighting-illini-coach-leaves-press-conference">firing of head coach Ron Zook</a>. And while it was a disastrous end to the season in many respects, those first six wins mean that Illinois will still be going to a bowl in 2011, even if its currently without a head coach.</p>
<p>Scout's <a href="http://cfn.scout.com/2/557866.html">2011 bowl prediction</a> for the Illini has them heading out San Francisco to participate in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. There, Scout predicts, the Illini would take on the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/ucla-bruins">UCLA Bruins</a>, who would be 6-7 on the season and also <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CDsQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sbnation.com%2Fncaa-football%2F2011%2F11%2F27%2F2589637%2Frick-neuheisel-fired-ucla-football&ei=QqPTTu0n44qxAqWNsYIP&usg=AFQjCNGGI19vH3HnP95ibiht0epEWC54bg&sig2=HNMg8es2ZQ46qy4qAUd3nQ">likely minus its coach</a> as well. Two teams with a combined record of 12-13 and without head coaches doesn't exactly sound like the most appetizing match up, but such is one of the downsides of the current bowl system.</p>

2011 College Football Rankings, Week 14: Michigan State Lands At No. 9 In USA Today Poll
<figure>
<img alt="" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/cmWVZDPbF6WZGWPFgXhd1yfCHyU=/0x26:400x293/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/47828105/large_chicago.sbnation.com.minimal.0.png" />

<p>The Big Ten didn't manage to put a team in the top 10 in this week's AP poll, but Michigan State slots in at No. 9 on the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AktsjP11_6jqdGtDVjZuYkxiTUJPbU9XRkw2UzNlc3c&hl=en_US#gid=0">most recent USA Today poll</a>. The Spartans only come in at No. 11 in the AP rankings, but a couple of factors have them pushed two spots ahead in the USA Today rankings.</p>
<p>In the AP poll, Michigan State is ranked behind both Arkansas and USC, both of whom are in the top-10. But in the USA Today poll, USC isn't eligible to receive votes due to recent NCAA infractions, and Arkansas is ranked behind the Spartans after getting crushed by No. 1 LSU on Saturday. the AP voters weren't nearly as harsh to the Razorbacks, putting them at No. 6 in the nation.</p>
<p>Michigan State plays No. 12 Wisconsin next week in the inaugural Big Ten championship game, with the winner getting an automatic invitation to a BCS bowl, presumably the Rose Bowl.</p>

College Football Rankings, Week 14: No Big Ten In AP Top 10, LSU-Alabama Unanimous 1-2

<p>Before Saturday, it seemed like there was at least the possibility that the BCS Championship Game wouldn't end up being a rematch of LSU and Alabama, but now that appears to be awfully unlikely. Unless the Tigers get upset by the No. 12 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/georgia-bulldogs">Georgia Bulldogs</a> in the SEC Championship Game next week, it appears that everyone will treated to another game between two of the nation's elite programs.</p>
<p>Both LSU and Alabama firmly established themselves as the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the nation with dominant victories over quality SEC opponents on Saturday, with the Tigers crushing then-No. 3 Arkansas while the Tide had little trouble with then-No. 24 Auburn. LSU defeated Alabama in a low-scoring, tight-knit game 9-6 that included zero touchdowns despite going to overtime.</p>
<p>As for the Big Ten, they were once again locked out of the top 10 this week. Michigan State comes in at No. 11 after beating Northwestern, but that's as close as they get.</p>
<p>Here's <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/#%21/AP_Top25/">the full AP Poll top 25</a> for Week 14:</p>

2011 Bowl Projections: Northwestern Could Be Headed To Meineke Car Care Bowl

<p>Another weekend of college football is in the books and ESPN's Mark Schlabach and Brad Edwards have released their <a href="http://espn.go.com/college-football/bowls">latest bowl projections</a>. Both Schlabach and Edwards project Northwestern, Illinois, Northern Illinois and Notre Dame to land somewhere in the postseason.</p>
<p>Illinois could be left out of the Big Ten bowl selection process because there are more teams eligible for bowls than there are bowl tie-ins. ESPN's experts expect Illinois to find an at-large spot somewhere else; Schlabach thinks it will be the New Mexico Bowl, while Edwards has the Illini in the New Orleans Bowl.</p>
<p>Northwestern is playing well down the stretch and could end up in the Meineke Car Care of Texas Bowl, according to Schlabach. That would pit them against an opponent from the Big 12. Edwards placed the Wildcats in the Little Caesars Bowl for a potential matchup with Toledo.</p>
<p>Schlabach and Edwards are in agreement on Notre Dame's landing spot: the Champs Sports Bowl. They project that the Irish will face Florida State, which would be an exciting matchup of traditional powers.</p>
<p>Northern Illinois is projected to land in the GoDaddy.com Bowl.</p>

<p>New bowl projections for week 13 were recently compiled <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2011/11/20/2575119/college-bowl-game-projections-week-13-2011">by SB Nation</a>, so let's take a look at how a crazy weekend of games ended up shaking things up. We'll start with the national title game, which is unsurprisingly a projected rematch of LSU and Alabama. Unless No. 6 Arkansas can upset the Tigers next week, this is likely the title game that we're going to be treated to.</p>
<p>The projections have Notre Dame playing Florida State in the Champs Sports Bowl, Illinois playing Iowa State in the TicketCity Bowl, Northwestern playing Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl and Northern Illinois playing Arkansas State in the GoDaddy.com Bowl.</p>
<p>Here are all of the projections for the remaining Big 10 teams:</p>
<ul>
<li>Michigan State in the <b>Rose Bowl</b> against Oregon</li>
<li>Michigan in the <b>Sugar Bowl </b>against Houston</li>
<li>Penn State in the <b>Outback Bowl</b> against Georgia</li>
<li>Ohio State in the <b>Gator Bowl</b> against Florida</li>
<li>Wisconsin in the <b>Capital One Bowl</b> against Arkansas</li>
<li>Nebraska in the <b>Meineke Car Care Bowl</b> against Texas A&M</li>
<li>Iowa in the<b> Insight Bowl </b>against Baylor</li>
<li>Purdue in the <b>Little Caesar's Bowl</b> against Ohio</li>
