Big Ten Suffers More Bowl Setbacks:

The Big Ten took a lot of flack in recent years because
their teams haven’t been up to pair with the Southeastern Conference and the
Pacific 10. It continued during this season’s bowl games. The Big Ten is
only 2-5 after suffering five losses on New Year’s Day. The most glaring
defeat was the TCU Horned Frogs downing the Wisconsin Badgers, 21-19 in the
Rose Bowl. TCU completed an undefeated season at 13-0. They won’t be
considered for a share of the BCS National Championship. That distinction
will go to the winner of Oregon versus Auburn.
Ohio State has represented the Big Ten in BCS games for a couple of seasons.
They’ll be the last to represent this year too. They play the Arkansas
Razorbacks on Tuesday night in the Sugar Bowl. The Razorbacks are 10-2, with
losses to Auburn and Alabama in SEC play. The Rose Bowl was at least
competitive and entertaining. Penn State bowed to Florida, 37-24 in Urban
Meyer’s farewell as the Gator’s head coach. Alabama embarrassed Michigan
State, 49-7. Northwestern put up the points, but couldn’t stop Texas Tech,
losing 45-38. The worst showing by a Big Ten team has to be Michigan.
Mississippi State thrashed the Wolverines, 52-14.
Rich Rodriguez hasn’t had the most success as Michigan’s head coach. It
doesn’t help that Jim Harbough is doing such a great job running Stanford.
Harbaugh played under famed head coach Bo Schembeckler. He took
Schembeckler’s hard-nosed style to Stanford and they’re in the Orange Bowl
against Virginia Tech. If Michigan calls, Harbaugh will listen. The San
Francisco 49ers are believed to be interested in Harbaugh for their vacant
head coaching job. Harbaugh is going to be the hottest head coach for
positions in both the NFL and college. He only wants to go to Michigan or
possibly a head coaching position. His phone is going to be very busy over
the next few weeks. The Big Ten is expanding to twelve teams next season.
They need Michigan to be a great football program again. Harbaugh would
begin the process for the Wolverines. The conference is falling behind the
Pac 10 and SEC. It's the same song for a couple years now. It's probably not
going to change any time soon.
