Big ten was I think 4-3 last year in the bowls,,they were 1-5 in the 08 season,,2-5 in 07,,living in big ten country for years,they just dont have the speed to compete well with other schools. A few years ago when it was more a smash-mouth game ,they did much better
3 of B10's wins though were against top 20 teams.. Northwestern almost beat Auburn, MSU was without 7 starters, Minny just blows..
Outside of the blood bath that was USC, B10 teams competed pretty well in bowls (outside of OSU in NT games).. think this is the most complete B10 standings from top to bottom..
