Saw this earlier today on ESPN.com. What a tremendous stat to expose the conference as a fraud.
"
The Dash stirred up Ohio State (23) fans over the weekend with the column on Jim Tressel (24), America's most conservative winner. Part of the premise of the column was that Tressel has dominated an underachieving Big Ten, and a Columbus correspondent passed along the following numbers to back that up. If anything, the numbers suggest that John Cooper (25) was cursed with bad timing while his successor has been blessed with exactly the opposite:
Big Ten schools other than Ohio State in BCS bowls (Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta) during the John Cooper era in Columbus (1988-2000) -- 9-5.
Big Ten schools other than Ohio State in BCS bowls during Tressel era -- 1-7.
Big Ten schools other than Ohio State in all bowl games during Cooper era -- 33-26.
Big Ten schools other than Ohio State in all bowl games during Tressel era -- 18-30."
Obviously the success of other Big Ten teams in their bowl games has nothing to do with who coaches Ohio State, so it simply looks to me like the conference is going down like a turd in a rest stop bathroom, which is to say very quickly.
