You're thinking of the record of Ohio State against SEC teams in postseason play. The overall record of the Big 10 conference is poor but not a shutout. The 0-9 record of Ohio State goes back to the Woody-Bear matchup in the '78 Sugar Bowl (another blowout). Most of those losses came during the long, dreary John Cooper era. They'd lose to Michigan and wind up in a second-tier bowl like the Citrus against an SEC also-ran, and lose.
That said, because of these two consecutive championship losses, IMO the BCS is going to be disinclined to invite Ohio State to any BCS Bowl no matter what their record is next year.
- Prior to this year, it was 18-19, including OSU's 0-8...so excluding OSU, it was 18-11, mostly playing home games for the SEC.
What was it this year, 5(?) Big Ten teams playing Bowl games where they travelled over a thousand miles and two temperature zones, and the opposition was playing in-state, or even in-city? In many cases, the Big Ten was a significantly lower ranked team playing a higher ranked team - which one wouldn't reasonably expect a high chance of victory.
Where you had a truly neutral field, Michigan State shouldn't have been in the game against Boston College, but completely kicked their butts except for one self-destructing player, who threw two stupid interceptions, and two tosses simply to the other team.
There's no way an unranked Michigan team should have been a challenge for Florida, who they dominated far more than the score.
What's LSU's general record on night games in Louisiana? As I recall, it's something absurd - like 1-2 losses per decade. That's not an insubstantial advantage against ANY team.
