They consider the conference weak and an easy stepping stone to sneak into the championship game on a weak schedule. Others hate the "Big 10 Network" and how they're more worried about turning a profit than providing competitive football. Many also think that every BCS conference, if not all conferences, should have a championship game & 12 teams. One of the last reasons is that some fans accuse the Big 10, along with the Pac 10, bigwigs as being the main culprits behind killing the idea of a playoff system in college football. Some of the other conferences are against it too though. Including the popular SEC.

#1 answer is.. because it's primarily Big 10 Presidents who vote against a playoff.. of all the conferences the Big 10 is the only one not to be snubbed by the BCS.. even this year Illinois got in ahead of a much more deserving Arizona State team.. the Big 10 also doesn't play a championship game (throw in the Pac 10 on this one too)... add to that ESPN's love for the Big 10 (I mean come on Herbstreit was an OSU QB for gods sakes.. yea that's partiality).. blam.. nationally people do not respect the Big 10

I don't. I just hate the fact that OSU is in the title game when they didn't deserve to be. Consider, they played 2 ranked teams all year, they lost at home to Illinois, were idle the last two weeks and only moved up due to other teams losing and the Big-10 was ranked the 2nd worse BCS conference this year. Does that sound like the resume of the #1 team in the land. I don't dislike OSU, but they don't deserve to be in the BCS title game, sorry.

I don't care about conferences personally. They Big Ten hasn't been as good as they usually are, and the SEC is coming on strong, well a lot of their teams are contenders anyway.

Because they do not have a conference championship game and undefeated Ohio State was embarrassed last year.

Because they are always highly ranked every season based on what they have done in the past.
