Hooray for Ohio State!!!

One win this decade!

I don’t know what was going on with Oregon last year - they played weird - could have been coaching, or lack of prep/recent history for a big time bowl.

Rose Bowl - since 2001 - 5:1 PAC-10 including Oregon game. Previous - Penn State ranked #6 vs USC #5 - USC played their second string defense for the 4th quarter - the game was OVER.

Recent Ohio State vs USC - 0-2 regular season.

Big-10 schedules are too soft. They actually count ND as an important game. Recent game ND vs USC - ND got their first first down on the last play of the third qtr. Ohio State likes to make fun of Boise State “ease of schedule” - then play Marshall, Ohio, and Eastern Michigan in 3 out of first 4 games (other was Miami). - Boise played VTech, Wyoming, OR State, and NM State. 2 ranked teams.

This year - Wisconsin vs AZ State - decided by a point. Wisconsin - possibly best team in Big-10. AZ State - not ranked. Average Pac-10 team.

Hey, Ohio State has had a miserable time being good in bowl games for quite some time now, that doesn't diminish the fact they beat Oregon convincingly last year. They won, get over it.

You're also a day late (well, a year) on your info, last year's top Big Ten teams ALL won their bowl games. Wisconsin beat Miami; Penn State beat LSU; Iowa beat up Georgia Tech. Heck, even the lesser teams bowl scores were very close.

So much for your soft schedule theory.

And for the record, USC finally got what it deserved..............probation and sanctions for cheating. Congrats to them.

Hear, hear. And after Boise State wins against those two ranked opponents, I don't think the big conferences will be rushing to accept any games with the Broncos.
