The Big Ten has a storied and storied history in bowling games, and that’s expected to continue into 2022, or so we think.
At Buckeyes Wire, we’re carrying on the tradition and giving you a sneak peek at where we think all conference teams will hang out during the season on a weekly basis.
But before we can do that, we need to know what the bowl’s links and queues are for the conference. Things stay more or less the same, but game dates may change, and when there are new contracts, even bowl play itself may differ from what we’ve seen in the past.
Scenarios can be very complicated with bowls preferring not to host the same team over a period of time and even having enough eligible teams to fill the slate, but at least we know where to start.
Here’s a complete rundown of the Big Ten Bowl lineup and college football playoff dates and times for the 2022 season.
