Big Ten Bowl Review: Champs Sports

Let's take a ride around the MSM's Big Four to see what they have to say about the Big Ten's bowl debut last night: (I'll try to do this for every day the Big Ten plays a bowl)

• If the win over Miami is any indicator of what the Badgers are capable of, Wisconsin could be at the top of the Big Ten when 2010 ends, writes Andy Staples at SI.com and Adam Rittenberg at ESPN.com.

• SportingNews' Matt Hayes is confused: how could a speedy southern team actually lose to a slow northern team? Something must have been seriously wrong with Miami last night, according to Hayes; because you know, there's no way Wisconsin might actually have been a better team than the 'Canes.

• Of course, anyone with half a brain could see that Wisconsin not only came into the game better prepared, but was in fact the better overall team on the field, writes Rittenberg. Even Heather Dinich had to agree.

• I don't know why I even go to CBSSports.com. All we got on this game was the wire story and a bunch of message board whack jobs. Dennis Dodd must be waiting until all the Big Ten bowls are played, then he can pick out the few losses to argue that the Big Ten should drop football and the SEC should just become the NFC Southeast.
