God there is a lot of bad teams in the B10 the last two years lol. Also impressed with Iowa's streak there. Shows what some steady leadership can do.

Good work Some. Can you repost and list how many bowl games there were each of those years? If you say f you, look it up yourself I will understand and get that done.

I can’t.
I would say just quickly looking in around 2000-2002 there was a transition from 11 games to 12.
Basically once you get to about 2004 it is extremely rare to have a 6 win big ten team miss a bowl.

I am less certain before 2004
 



Somebody has to lose. The whole conference can't have a winning record.
I understand that. Thanks. Seems very top and bottom heavy but I guess with a larger conference you are more likely to have that.
 

It’s been almost 700 days since Wisconsin has played in a bowl game. It’s been over 1,000 days since Wisconsin has won a bowl game.

I guess what I'm also saying is some of those teams probably aren't as bad as their records indicate. But someone has to take the L.
