Before the bowl season began, talking heads and pundits openly declared the Big Ten was the best football conference in America.
Not only did it have Ohio State in the College Football Playoff, but Michigan was going to the Orange Bowl, Wisconsin to the Cotton Bowl and Penn State to the Rose Bowl.
All were major bowls, so it seemed obvious the Big Ten had replaced the mighty SEC.
All the talking heads and pundits, including yours truly, should have worn clown suits we were so wrong.
The Big Ten's only wins came in the Holiday, the Pinstripe and the Cotton bowls.
