Tough bowl season, but the league was still strong this season.
One could argue that OSU was the only major blemish on the bowl season.
Wisconsin won. PSU lost a thriller to the hometown team.Michigan lost a thriller to the home state team and were missing their best player. PSU and Michigan both could have easily won those games, but they didn't.

Everyone else played up a slot.Or more. When 4 conference teams make the Rose, Orange, Cotton, and Playoffs.....this is likely to happen, especially when you are geographically on the road.

big 6 bowls- B1G 4 teams, Pac 12- 2 teams, SEC 2 teams, ACC 2 teams, MAC 1 team, B12 1 team

OSU totally stunk it up. In retrospect they were outplayed in wins against Michigan and Wisconsin and had no business in the playoffs. But their record and resume was tough to keep out.

If only I could bump that thread again from last year from the Nebraska fan bragging about the Big 10.

true. cant really hold anything against Penn State and Michigan, but it did feel like both were slightly lucky to make the games so close

i will say that parity in college football is great for the sport, i cant believe so many people get upset over it

All Nebraska fans need to be ignored. They have no business talking shite.

I bet we see coaching changes at OSU as soon as tomorrow. Urbs is probably calling the OC(s) he wants to confirm their interest, then cutting ties with Beck and Warinner. It's pretty bad when former players have openly criticized them for 2 years running.

Ohio st was the only team that got raped tho. PSU and Michigan both played very close games. Not making excuses, just pointing out that 1/2 way through the 4th both could have gone either way. (Except ohio st they played like dogshit)

Look, I think there are better pure defenders than Peppers on the team, but you're crazy if you don't think that affected Michigan.

OSU was the only surprising one.

I did think Iowa would play better, but when your offense performs that poorly, the D will give up points.

some entertaining games otherwise - including losses Michigan, Indiana, Penn State.
