Big Ten Gets Big Ass-Whipping in Bowl Season

[Kudos to the Minnesota Golden Gophers and Northwestern who both pulled off upset wins.]
The best conference in college football in the regular season just finished an embarrassing bowl season with a 3-7 record.  That record looks even worse when you consider that the Big Ten's top teams went 1-3 in the high-profile New Year's Bowls with the conference's only win being the Badgers beating a MAC team in the Cotton Bowl.
Penn State blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter to USC in the "grandaddy of them all," the Rose Bowl.
Iowa was destroyed by Florida 30-3 in the Outback Bowl.
In a National Semi-Final Playoff Ohio State was embarrassed by Clemson 31-0!!!
Another high-profile Big Ten program, Nebraska, got trucked by Tennessee by 14 points.
