Held the ball to long. No sense on the pass rush there .

This is a good observation. His pocket awareness is awful. He could get better with the right coaching, but right now its nonexistent.

Strange game. OSU has been in control the whole way yet their offense has done jack squat in the second half and the yardage totals favor USC significantly.

Who started this mess?

His pocket awareness isn't great, but boy he can make some throws at times.

Pac 12 is 1-6 in the bowls so far. Only bowl winner is Utah, who beat WVU.

After watching Josh Allen the other day, I thought Sam Darnold looked like a freshman today. Hopefully the Browns dont take Allen and they take Darnold or Rosen.

Not hard to do lol...

Pac 12 may be worst power 5 bowl record ever.

That’s odd ....barely a mention of the B10’s 5-0 Bowl record by espn.

Hopefully two more bowl wins today and then Michigan closes it out with a blowout win on Monday. B1G is the conference of champions.

I don't think any stock can be put into bowl records by conference. It's just a mis mash of random teams, etc.

It doesn't confirm their "Big Ten sucks" narrative. If they mention it at all, they'll make excuses for why the non-B1G opponents lost.

You gotta be kidding, right?

Whenever the B1G is less than stellar during the bowl season, that's pretty much all they talk about.

When the SEC is doing well during the bowl season, they carry on like they're at a wedding.

No weddings for them so far; SEC hasn't won a single bowl so far, LOL.

0-3 so far; Mississippi State trailing in a close one right now against Louisville.

No more SEC games today after this one.

Record by conference so far

I think an argument can be made that the bowl wins reflect the quality of a conference. The teams in the bowls are supposed to be the best of their conference. So, a conference that has teams that wins many bowls is of higher quality than a conference that has teams that lose most of its bowls. Well, I think the argument has merit this year anyway.

I tend to agree. A lot of it depends on matchups and some years a conference wins a bunch of close games and other years they lose a bunch of close games. I think the Big Ten not getting anyone into the playoff has created a trickle down of favorable (or at least winnable) matchups in the other bowls.

However, I agree with tinsel in that if the Big Ten was 0-5 right now even if the factors mentioned above are at play, ESPN and others would be all over it.
