Don’t wish for a bowl-game patsy

Short of No. 1 USC or No. 2 Texas getting upset in the final two weekends of college football or Oregon and the Pacific-10 Conference twisting the arms of Fiesta Bowl officials right off, the Big Ten Conference will get two teams – Penn State and Ohio State – into the Bowl Championship Series.

That, of course, would free the Capital One Bowl to snap up the University of Wisconsin and its caravan of fans, something the people who wear Capital One blazers have always wanted.
