This year's Big Ten championship game will be between
the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Wisconsin Badgers and
will be held tonight in Indianapolis with the winner headed to the Rose Bowl.
Nebraska is currently the #18 ranked team overall using my FBS college production model, with the currently #15 ranked offense and the
currently #29 ranked defense. Wisconsin is currently
the #31 ranked team overall with the currently #50 ranked offense and the
currently #22 ranked defense. Nebraska has played a tougher than average
schedule as compared to the average FBS strength of
schedule, while Wisconsin has played an average schedule as compared to the "league" overall. Given the model has Nebraska ranked higher than Wisconsin, the model would
predict that the Nebraska will be victorious tonight.
