Big Ten teams are 6-0 in bowl games. Nothin' like Midwest football.

A win is a win but I thought Ohio State's win wasn't kind of ugly (not enough offense).

I didn't see the game since I don't have cable. That's why I hate ESPN.

I watched Purdue win but that the only game I caught. I did come in to warm up this afternoon to see Butler beat #1 vandy in basketball.

Was thinking the Orange bowl would break that streak early on, didn't look good for Wisconsin, but they have turned it around near halftime it's a game.

What kills me is the SEC got two teams in the 4 team playoffs.

As of yesterday their conference had not won a bowl game yet. They were like 0 and 7.

So the two teams that got in the playoffs played some so so teams to get a good record to make the playoffs.

Yes but they still have the Porridge Bowl to play as well as the Pipe Tobacco Bowl. Good grief, some of the new bowl game names blow me away ...... I guess it's all about the almighty dollar and finding a corporation to put up sponsorship money. A lot of the teams in a lot of those games don't exactly have stellar W-L records.

I never got excited about watching over payed jocks playing with balls of any size!!
I would rather be out in my shop building things and listening to my favorite country music station.

All matched up against lesser teams,bowls don't mean anything unless its one of the playoff bowls.How many Big 10 teams in that? To bad Ohio State couldn't play a team like Clemson and tank like they did last year.I will say I'd like to see the playoffs with 8 teams.Give all the Power 5 Champions a spot plus 3 at large.

Always wondered how people considered states like Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, etc, as "Midwest"?

The Big 10 must not play into the politic that the SUC ( I mean the SEC) that's why they aren't in the playoffs. Look at the teams Ohio State played and then look who Bama played, no comparison and no doubt who should be in the playoffs. Just watch how the refs are payed by the # of penalties that are called on whoever Bama plays. Wisconsin only had 1 loss too so they should have been considered for the playoffs too. Just another Bucks fan here.

It hurt Ohio St this year that they were beaten so bad by Clemson last year,plus they'd of had to play Clemson again this year and that would have been the end of the road for them anyway.

Or maybe too much USC defense? A win is a win, 17 point win is not bad.
Ohh-H! I-Ohh!
