Maryland is one of 10 Big Ten teams that will be playing in a bowl game over the next few weeks.

The Terrapins will play in the first bowl game involving Big Ten teams on Dec. 26. While it’s not the most prestigious bowl, it’s definitely the cap to a successful first season under the direction of D.J. Durkin.

Maryland finished with a 6-6 mark, which may not seem like a lot. However, this was a program that was an utter trainwreck a season ago and only won three games.

There’s a new regime in College Park and they’ve brought a renowned brand of excitement to the program.

The Terps finished the regular season on a high note with a 31-13 win over Rutgers. Now, Maryland will get to play in the postseason and could see a big boost in recruiting because of it.

Without further ado, here are our predictions for Maryland’s bowl games and all the others that involved Big Ten schools.
