per Chip:
Recent bowl seasons brought more misery and snickers. The Big Ten went 49-64 in bowl games in the BCS era (1998-2013), the worst of any Power Five conference.
The conference posted a 6-16 record in January bowl games the past three seasons.
All 10 of the Big Ten’s bowl teams this season were underdogs in Vegas betting lines, prompting jokes about whether the conference would go 0-for-10.
Instead, the Big Ten went 5-5, including 3-1 in New Year’s Day games. The Buckeyes can put a big cherry on top by winning the national championship next week.
“It was a great day for Big Ten football,” Delany told reporters late New Year’s Day. “We’ve been on a lot of the other side of these things. We’ve had to tip our hat to those that have beaten us. I tip our hat [to us] when we win the games.”
