For someone of your age and football knowledge I find this amusing
Both the BIG and PAC 12 have been far from one university conferences
Calling either one of them one pretty much means you can say the same thing about the SEC
PAC 12
2000's Oregon and Stanford
1990's 1980's Washington
1970's 1960's UCLA
Point being all PAC 12 universities have played in either a BCS bowl game or a Group of 6 besides Cal
Cal was screwed out of the 2005 Rose Bowl by Mack Brown or it would have been all 12 universities
Not to mention USC's annual game versus ND
BIG
All following universities have been Top 10 for multiple seasons
Michigan St
Minnesota
Iowa
Wisconsin
Penn State

Not true at all.
quote:
PAC 12
Since the Poll Era began in 1936, only two teams other than USC have been awarded a national championship by a major selector while playing in that conference:
UCLA (1954)
Washington (1991)
USC has been awarded seven national championships by major selectors in that same time frame.
quote:
BIG
The last time a team other than Ohio State and Michigan won a national championship while playing in this conference was in 1965 when Michigan State won the Coaches Poll. On top of that, Michigan has won 42 BIG conference titles while Ohio State has won 35. The next closest team to them in conference championships is Minnesota with 18 and they haven't won a conference title since 1967.
To prove to you just how little parity there is in the Big Ten, I'm going to throw you a stat that might surprise you. Alabama hasn't been to the Rose Bowl since the 1945-46 season. And yet their six Rose Bowl appearances would have Alabama tied with Iowa for the fourth most appearances in the game all-time (behind Michigan, Ohio State, and Wisconsin).
