They don't have to put a Big 10 team in the Rose Bowl. I know that's traditionally what it is, but since it moved to a BCS bowl all conferences should get a shot at it. I think Missouri would have been a better choice.

I can say that about any conference in the country though. Pick two teams and say the rest are wannabes. The ONLY exception would be the SEC and then I have to inlcude 3 teams, but they have more teams to begin with compared to the PAC 10 or the Big 10 or the Big East. Its a circular argument.
I would say both the SEC and Big 12 have great depth and it hurts them because so many teams are competitive that its hard to go through the conference undefeated.
