Umm.. what is this post supposed to be? You gave us a link to some stats, and give no explanation as to why you're posting it. What is it that you'd like to discuss?

Hopefully his point is to highlight the teams that have never had direct access to a bcs game and yet made one anyway? Benefit of the doubt.....

nothing new there...the B10 has sucked for a while now. Every year it's the same...a bunch of B10 schools are preseason ranked, mostly overrated. They beat up on each other on national tv and people say 'ooooh the B10 is so tough' and then reality hits and they mostly get mauled in bowl games against real teams.

The Big 10 is basically the MAC in larger stadiums at this point. There isn't a better example of "The Emperor Has No Clothes" than the Big 10.

College football is rigged to a degree and is starting to jump the shark...like the NFL and NBA already have.

Idaho is gone after next year-- Sun Belt for football, and Big Sky for Olympic sports-- and I think New Mexico St will be joining the Sun Belt next year as well. Is it for all sports or just football?

NMSU's non-FB sports stay in the WAC and Idaho's go to the Big Sky.
