How good is the Big Ten?

Holly- When was the last time a team that is CURRENTLY in the Big East won a national championship. You say Big Ten don't win championships look at this it is amazing how many times Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State shows up. http://www.ncaa.org/champadmin/ia_footb ... hamps.html

In 1981 Pitt was national champs in the National Championship foundation along with 3 other teams.

The WVU last national championship was NEVER.

Well the Big Ten bowl record can't be any worse than WVU's last 3. Smacked by MD, smacked by VA and smacked by FL.

and this year? smacked once again...it's gonna happen...

[HOLLYWOOD]

it is kinda like when Penn St. won a bowl game, what about 10 or 11 years ago for such a great program, what a joke!

Wow. Something I thought I never would see happen: A WVU fan using "win" and "bowl game" in the same sentence!

[Weapon X]

abpk2903, I think your list is alittle flawed there. Since the BCS started in 1998 the Big Ten only has one appearance in the championship game and only one championship. The Big East has three appearances and one championship. Yeah Miami and Va. Tech are gone but they were in the Big East when they made those appearances. I mean does the ACC get credit for Miami's championship in 2001? Also, yeah Ohio States name is there in 1998, but Tenn. went undefeated and won both the AP and BCS. Don't act like Ohio State split the title with them. The "unbiased" Sargarin rating is the only one who gave them the nod that year. Sargarin is from Bloomington, Indiana by the way. In the last ten years Big Ten 2 titles and Big East 1. I wouldnt say either league is chalking up the National titles.

Ohio State, Penn State and Mich would be playing for the national title if they played in the Big East, so what is your point?

Hey hollywood check you math its a little off.
