What's up with the Big Ten teams? NW looks like they gave up, Michigan and Minnesota lose close games... lame. We should've won all three of Big10 games so far. Ohwell I think PSU and tOSU well have better luck...

its been rough, but oregon alone makes our three losses look ok :biggrin:

i love when a team (or fans) whine about getting snubbed, then they lose their bowl game

Happens a lot...I should have seen the dUMb loss coming.

As for the Big Ten, Glen Mason finished off another late-season free-fall, I expected NW to lose (though they put on a good show) and LLLLLLoyd choked again...not all unexpected, but disappointing.

It's really PSU, OSU, and probably Iowa that will determine how we finish looking as a conference.

Yeah, the big ten has looked like shit. Wisky and Iowa will probably drop their games, so that leaves tOSU and PSU as the only teams that can win. tOSU and PSU had both better win big or we will lost a whole lot of respect as a conference.

As good as being in the Fiesta bowl is for tosu and financially for the Big Ten, it no doubt has hurt the Big Ten in the Bowls. The conference affiliations are meant to match the teams as closely as possible. If we wouldn't have made the Fiesta, we'd be playing Auburn with everyone else being knocked down a bowl. Instead we have lesser teams playing in bowls that they shouldn't be. The result; a bad record for the Big Ten. Let's wait and see how us and PSU do being worrying about the conference record.

Yes, but if our conference as good as we all say it is, this should not be a big issue.
the pro blem with the Big 10 this year was the defenses. Only 2 teams had great defenses, us and PSU. scUM played good D overal but was sporadic, and most of the other teams had mediocre to poor defenses. It's showing up in the bowl games.

At first I was dissapponted in the showing but on the flip-side these 3 teams have along ways to go to compete with tOSU and PSU. If we take care of ND and look good doing it ..it sets us up for another BCS year next year..even with the losses on D.
