Only the second time in the BCS-era that teams from a single conference have defeated 4 other Top-15 teams.

#7 Oregon
#9 Georgia Tech
#13 LSU
#14 Miami, Fla.

Suck it, haters.

• Beat Penn State on the road, a possible top-10 finisher
• Beat Iowa another possible top-10 finisher
• Beat their (shitty) arch-rival on the road
• Won the Big Ten outright
• Won the Rose Bowl as an underdog
• Did all of that with a QB who was playing injured

I'm from the pre-tats-are-cool-era, but that list is worth considering. Maybe I'll settle for a t-shirt.

The domination shows up in total yards:

Iowa: 403

GTech: 155

 

[Dryden]

Oh, and the Big Ten won TWO Big Ten/ACC challenges this year!

Beat 'em in basketball, swept 'em in football.

Otzi looks askance at the ardipithecus from Cincinnati.

*Virginia Tech played for both the ACC and Big East, and played in BCS bowl games for both conferences. Note that while Miami has been a member of both the Big East and ACC, it has only been to a BCS Bowl as a member of the Big East.

The ACC sucks. Not as much as Notre Dame, but sucky never the less.

Congrats to Iowa anyway.

20 mil says Iowa's defense plays GT as tough as they played us, and that should be enough for them to win.

*ahem*



We really need a patting-yourself-on-the-back emoticon...

WTG! Iowa! Great win for the Big Ten!

(Plus, thanks to you, I now have over three hundred points...three hundred!)
