It may come down to the OSU vs. Texas game. I bet everyone has big points on Texas, however I have OSU with 2 points.
BTW, I'm not buying into this "Big 10 teams can't win in the Rose Bowl" myth because they ALWAYS have to play USC.
The last time a Big-10 team played a Pac-10 team not named USC was back in 2001 (Washington-Purdue).
Honestly, if it was Oregon or Oregon State playing in Pasadena, I don't know how the outcome will be.
Let's see what happens if another Pac-10 team makes it to Pasadena!

1-5 for the over rated big 10... Now eariler I said how I thought the SEC was a bit weak this year, and they were.... however they have really impressed me in the bowls. I thought for sure GA or LSU would lose... or even both.. Specially after the way GATECH handled GA.
Next up for the big10 is what OSU vs Texas? Another route for them. 1-6.

I don't think it's that Big Ten teams just can't beat USC, they can't, but they can't beat anyone good from another BCS conference. Look at their bowl record this year. Didn't Cal beat Michigan St this year? There you go. If someone other than USC played in the Rose Bowl I suspect they would manhandle whoever the Big Ten sent out there.
Sabres I bet this will surprise you, unfortunately I had 24 points on the Big Least Champion last night.
Also have big points on the Rebels today to take down Texas Tech.
That's my theory as well.
No other Pac-10 teams get a shot to test that theory out- if Oregon or Arizona State make a Rose Bowl and lose to a Big 10 team, then it proves that USC is making a mediocre conference look good.
Eventually, the Pac 10 will have to have someone else defend their honor- USC can't keep saving their butts every bowl season.
I believe Penn State CRUSHED Oregon State earlier in the year, 45-14.
MSU lost 38-31 in California.
The Big Ten is NOT over rated this year, everyone here has said that they are not very good this year, all year long, I think you would have to have higher expectations in order to be considered OVER rated.
Well if USC would QUIT losing games, they expect to win them all every year, they would NOT be hanging out at home to play a bowl game every year.
Look, all this Big-10 bashing just for the hell of it is nonsense. Every Big-10 team that has lost so far has lost to a better opponent. Conversely, the sole Big-10 winner so far, Iowa beat a weaker team. There was no upsets. Everything has gone as planned. Don't get your panties in a tizzy Big-10 haters.......

Not bashing the Big Ten...just that it is what it is. They have not faired well.
EDIT: Apparently, I am not the ONLY one talking about it:

Pretty tough crowd when you're disappointed in the only team from the Conference to Win.
How about that impressive slug fest between the high powered OREST and PITT
Good Luck Ole Miss and Alabama!
