Pond Hopper Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Well all year everyone talked about how it was such a weak conference but apparently after a few bowl games the big 10 is looking pretty strong. Would be looking even better had NW kicker not been hurt but LSU and Oregon have had better days. Quote
BUCKEYEone Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Despite the Northwestern game outcome, I thought the Big-10 looked pretty good, for the first time in a few years! Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Keri Posted January 6, 2010 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 6, 2010 I believe they GT got out played. Fun game to watch. Iowa definitely did their homework. K Quote
Super User 5bass Posted January 6, 2010 Super User Posted January 6, 2010 Iowa played a great game. I thought that busted fake field goal was going to haunt them but they came right back with a TD on their next drive to seal the deal. GT wasn't GT tonight but Iowa had a lot to do with that too. Good job Iowa. Good win. Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 6, 2010 Super User Posted January 6, 2010 Conference Bowl Records SEC: 10 teams 5-4 record Big 12: 8 teams 4-3 record Big Ten: 7 teams 4-3 record ACC: 7 teams 3-4 record PAC 10: 7 teams 2-5 record Big East: 6 teams 4-2 record Conference USA: 6 teams 2-4 record MAC: 5 teams 0-5 record MWC: 4 teams 2-2 record Sun Belt: 2 teams 1-0 record Independent: 1 team 1-0 record Well the Big Ten did nail down the number three spot Quote
Daniel My Brother Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Catt, Here's another way to look at it: The top 4 teams in the Big 10 all won thier bowl games, and all beat higher ranked opponents. This includes two BCS bowl wins. For Big 10 fans this is big step forward. Quote
LHC - Bank Robber Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Only two teams that made bowl games finished the season with a losing record, both hail from the big ten Quote
nick76 Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 And all three teams from the Big Ten that lost had an opportunity to win those games. MSU was the worst loss and they played without 14 of their players. Not too bad for league that went 1-6 the previous year. If Northwestern had won instead of that stupid fake punt thing and Minnesota would have won that is now a 6-1 record. I know speculation is worth nothing, but a great improvement from a conference nobody had any repsect for. I would say the SEC took a step back this year looking at their record and the Big 12 held about the same. Quote

Super User Dan: Posted January 8, 2010 Super User Posted January 8, 2010 4-1 is more impressive to me than 6-4....but I don't put too much stock into conference bowl comparisons by overall wins/losses because it's not like every conference plays a bowl schedule that is comparable to other conferences...
