The Big X doesn't deserve 2 teams in the BCS and hasn't for the last like 3 years; the auto bid into the Rose with OSU in the title game has put them behind the 8ball come bowl season.

I think PSU actually matches up pretty well with most teams; just depends on the day of the week on if they show up

This is actually a good point, and makes sense. You've basically got Big10 teams "playing up" in their bowl game in terms of the competition.

Similar situation to Notre Dame that my friends and I have discussed before relative to their horrendous bowl record of late ... because of their "name" they always get a better bowl game than they deserve and hence play a better team ... and, as should be no surprise, they quite often lose to that better team. In a way, they are a victim of their own success.
