I always thought it was that '02 Miami team with that Dorsey fella and all that speed.

Records of teams who have played in "BCS" bowls (Rose, Orange, Fiesta, Sugar bowls since after the 1998 season), minimum three games:

Ohio State 4-0
FSU 1-5
Miami 3-1
Florida 2-1
Oklahoma 2-2
USC 3-1
Michigan 1-2

I don't think I've miss any...

80% for the Big 10 is pretty impressive!

(Whoops, I guess that's only for teams with wins; 8-5 is still pretty good though)

That's just for the teams listed. IIRC Purdue and Illinois have BCS loses.

This didn't include winless Iowa, Purdue, or Illinois. The Big 10 is 8-5 overall in BCS games.
