Even after the bowls, they had 3 of the top 9 (1st, 8th, and 9th). Only the Big12 could match that (5th, 6th, and 7th). The others only had one each, with the PAC-10 taking the final spot.
The pundits like basektball on grass, not real football. Therefor the size and strength of the Big 10 and Big 12 are under-respected. As we see every year, Real football wins. Substance over style.
