You could say comparing the Big Ten to the SEC is like comparing the Big Ten West to the Big Ten East.

The top of the SEC is better than the top of the Big Ten,  but the middle of the Big Ten is better than the middle of the SEC.

A lot of the games were very close, basically even.

G5-P5 ended 6-1. Bama was the one. Weird year.

Between the opt outs, the usual motivation/preparation issues, and all the close games it would be foolish to try to read too much into these results. 
  • PU beat TN in OT
  • MSU beat Pitt by 10 but entered the 4th down by 11 before scoring three 4th quarter TD's.
  • UW beat ASU by a TD
  • Iowa lost to KY by a FG
  • tOSU beat Utah by a FG

That Iowa loss was the most frustrating. (The OSU comeback was the most stressful.) I was really surprised how well Rutger, kept it a game vs. Wake.

It's fun to compare conference bowl records, but B1G loss all but one of the big bowls and doesn't seem very good up top.

Iowa used the same strategy that had worked for them all year,  essentially kneeling down on its 2nd last offensive possession on offense with a 1 score lead and turning it over its excellent punter and defense to win the game.  Just for the 1st time all season , the defense failed to hold a late lead.  Iowa was going to get burned sooner or later using the strategy.

As for the Big Ten's record in big bowls, technically the Peach Bowl and Rose Bowl are considered big bowls, and the Big Ten was able to beat both the ACC champ and the PAC champ in 2 big bowls.

Overall the Big Ten was 5-1 vs the ACC, Big 12 and PAC,  with the only loss being Rutgers losing to WF.  I would say the Big Ten did just fine against everybody but the SEC.

The B1G did just fine IMHO.  I think the conferences are closer than many suspect in reality, at least the B1G and SEC are pretty close most years, and the other three bounce around a good bit.  The Pac seems to be fading lately though, and the ACC simply lacks a second team of consistency.

Clemson finished 10-3 of course which is a down year for them, which says something about their program.
