I have said for years I want to see Prestone, Carhartt and Labatts team up to sponsor the "Welcome to Cleveland in January you southern fairy" Bowl.

HOW URBAN MEYER AND JIM HARBAUGH RAISED THE BAR AND SAVED THE BIG TEN
All it took was one game for the dominoes to start falling.
When Urban Meyer led Ohio State to a monumental upset of SEC titan and college football behemoth Alabama on Jan. 1, 2015—in the conference's backyard of New Orleans, no less—it put an exclamation point on a tectonic shift in the sport's landscape.
Hours earlier, Michigan State rallied late and beat Baylor in the Cotton Bowl. Earlier on that New Year's Day, Wisconsin edged Auburn in the Outback Bowl.
“There's no doubt that when we saw Wisconsin beat Auburn, that was a major, major moment for us to win this game,” Meyer said in the wee hours of the second day of 2015, minutes after he and his staff exerted everything it possibly could into tumbling the Tide.
Meyer has said since that his team also found out the Spartans beat Baylor mere minutes before going out onto the Superdome's turf to warm up. The eyes of his players lit up with that thought of, It is our turn now. We have to keep pace.
The Buckeyes faced the stiffest that night. But behind a monster in running back Ezekiel Elliott and a guy whose performance was anything but representative of a third-string quarterback, Cardale Jones, Meyer's group took the largest step at flipping the script of an entire sport.
Yes, Michigan State and Wisconsin's victories came earlier in the day, but somebody had to beat Alabama for the movement to feel real.

3-6 so far with the Pedsters left. Not good.
BUT every B1G team except M*ch*gan and Pedsters played a team of the same record or higher ranked.

This season has been eerily similar to '06. Seems the B1G doesn't handle regular season prosperity well

Finished 3-8. Bad.
So, how did God's Conference (tm) do?
6-6 so far with Alabama yet to play.
Florida played in Florida
Tennecheat played in Tennessee
Alabama played in Georgia

OK, but several of those games were very close and much closer than expected (e.g., Indiana). Actually, I am not too worried. Next year, things will be very different.

Over the years of participating in on-line debates about conference superiority, etc, I've come to learn I don't give a fuck. I think it was LJB who said "I'm not a fan of the rivalry, I'm a fan of Ohio State" in support of the argument that scUM can just quit the sport and Ohio State will be just fine. It's the same thing with conferences. I'm not a fan of the Big Ten. I'm not a fan of the Big Ten East, nor the Big Ten West. I don't yell B1G B1G B1G at games. I am a fan of Ohio State. The rest of the conference can go fuck themselves for all I care. (understanding of course, there is value in a financial partnership with those other member institutions. Reality is, that's not going away, ever, so I am free to say "fuck em" as a strict sports observation)
Even as it is, and as I had to explain to a friend of mine in the south who was attempting to give me shit about the B1G's bowl performance - bowl record is a FACTOR in conference superiority, not conclusive evidence.
