Message: [QUOTE="Btstimpy, post: 699790, member: 2043"] By what measure do you say that the Big Ten is clearly ahead of the ACC in football? You certainly can't be using the Big Ten's bowl record in the BCS era. The Big Ten was 41-48 through 2010. The ACC was 56-52. Here is an article from 2 years ago highlighting the Big Ten's bowl woes. The Big Ten has not improved since then. In fact for several parts of last season, there were no Big Ten schools in the Coach's poll.
