The Big 10 NEEDS Penn State, Michigan and Michigan State to come through against the Irish or else OSU's games with those teams will carry little weight in the polls.

I guess my expectations don't reach higher than a BCS berth this year, which is guaranteed by winning their games.
As for conference perception,
OSU's fate will lie in their own hands against SC the next two years. That will more than compensate for a potentially disrespected conference.
4 years from now, Miami and/or Michigan should be powerful teams again... and the b10 may be deeper as well with Dantonio & Zook.
