How low is it for the big 10?? how such a bad conference earns 2 BCS games?

Question

Ohio st (BCS)  and illinois (rose) 2007  2 blow out losses
michigan (rose)  Ohio st  (BCS)  2006  2 blow out losses

2008-9  bowl games:

penn st: rose  blown out
wiscon: champs sports    blown out
minnesota  insight:  blown out
mich st   Capital one   blown out  not as bad but lot by 12

iowa only big 10  to step up  in the outback
ohio st vs texas...we'll see what happens

the conference as a whole could not fill their bowl slots
i know the tradition and history of the big 10 used to be great  but  how do we keep punishing the  more deserving teams  today ?  

big 10  1-5  in bowls so far !  the best  the big 10 can hope for is 2-5  in bowl games. big east 3-1 the acc is 3-6     but  they lack the football tradtion and rating appeal of the  bloated big 10 teams  so their lack of competition gets swept under the rug by espn and the media  

I put a lot of the blame  at the door of espn  they broadcast the games and they skew the poll rankings.  espn cares more about ratings than quality match-ups and deserving teams.

we also need a better way to reward the 2nd tier bowl games  the auto tie in system  gives us these klunkers of bowl games.

The Big 10 is great at working the system.  By not putting in place a conference championship, they are improving their 2 team BCS bid chances.

It's no use complaining about conferences.  It's the system that's broken.  A playoff system would solve all of this.  I'd rather hear whining about which 17th ranked team lost out than which conference got more than its fair share of BCS bids.

It would also save us this Utah-related mess.

No, not the weakest. a ways from the premiere nonetheless. The ACC and massive East are in the back of the great Ten. superb to backside interestingly like percent10, SEC, .........Big12........great Ten, great East, then the ACC Ohio State is youthful and meant to be in a rebuilding year. Wisconsin on no account runs up the score (not even in basketball) Illinois became youthful final year and lost a great sort of close video games so it stands to reason they are going to be aggressive this year. Penn State continually has problems with Michigan. Purdue seems greater advantageous this year than interior the modern previous. Iowa has lost a step or 2 yet will come back. Michigan has problems yet won't lose lower back till they play OSU. Michigan St. ultimately has a coach that has introduced self-discipline to that team. Then we've Duke, NC State, NC, Maryland wait that's the ACC. I recommend we've Pitt, Louisville, Syracuse, guy that's the great East. Is it Baylor, Colorado, Kansas or is that the great 12? i understand this is Mississippi, Auburn, Tennessee, and Vandy precise!!! See that's the SEC. right here we go this is Washington, Washington St., Stanford and Arizona does that recommend that the great Ten moved out west???

Michigan State wasn't blown out but your are right the conference needs to step up. They have good players but for some reason they just don't play will in big games. I do think USC is just better than Penn State and Northwestern played well against Missouri so the Big Ten isn't that bad.
