5 Powerhouse Programs Win Big Bowl Games - TCU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Florida And Stanford by Ed Bagley
When you are a major college team and you hang a perfect 12-0 season on your opponents, and you are not even considered to play in the NCAA national championship game, you could get just a little testy.
If your manners are as good as your record, you smile and take it out on your next rival. That is exactly what TCU did in beating an excellent Wisconsin team, 21-19, thanks to Tank Carder's blocked pass of 2-point conversion attempt with 2 minutes left to play that would have tied the game at the Rose Bowl. Had Carter's timing been off, Wisconsin would have converted and might well have gone on to win the game.
TCU was just one of 5 powerhouse football programs to win big bowl games. Ohio State topped Arkansas 31-26 in the Sugar Bowl, Oklahoma easily outplayed Connecticut 48-20 in the Fiesta Bowl, Florida took care of Penn State 37-24 in the Outback Bowl, and Stanford thumped Virginia Tech 40-12 in the Orange Bowl.
Third-ranked TCU (13-0) benefited from QB Andy Dalton's 23-yard touchdown pass to Bart Johnson, and also his 4-yard run for another score. Dalton went 15-for-23 (65%) for 219 yards. Johnson also recovered a late onside kick for the mid-major Mountain West champions, who followed up their 2nd straight unbeaten regular season with their first BCS victory.
The Horned Frogs also became the first school from a non-automatic qualifying conference to play in the Rose Bowl.
Montee Ball rushed for 132 yards and a late score, but it was not enough for the Big Ten co-champion Badgers (11-2).
Buckeye Terrelle Pryor threw 2 touchdown passes as 6th-ranked Ohio State (12-1) topped 8th-ranked Arkansas (10-3) to record their first ever win over a Southeastern Conference (SEC) team.
The Razorbacks had a chance to win the game when they blocked a punt with the clock winding down, but QB Ryan Mallett was picked off by defensive end Solomon Thomas with 58 seconds left.
After the game, Pryor limped off the field with a sprained right ankle. He was named the Most Valuable Player after going 14-for-25 (56%) for 221 yards, and rushing for another 115 yards on 15 carries (7.67 yards per carry).
The 9th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners (12-2) put a beat down on 25th-ranked Connecticut, 48-20, in the Fiesta Bowl.
Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles set records in the Oklahoma win, the Sooner defense scored 2 touchdowns and held Connecticut to none. The Huskies did hit pay dirt twice, but they came on a 46-yard pick-six interception and a 95-yard kick return.
Jones threw for a school bowl-record 429 yards and 3 TDs. Broyles, an All-American receiver, caught 13 passes for a team record 170 yards and a TD. The BCS win was the Sooners first after losing 3 straight national championship games and 2 Fiesta Bowls.
Connecticut finished the year at 8-5 after winning its final 5 games and earning the tiebreaker as co-Big East champions.
After a really disappointing 8-5 season, Urban Meyer's Florida Gators showed up big in the Outback Bowl by handling Joe Patero and his Penn State Nittany Lions, 37-24.
Florida's Omarius Hines and Mike Gillislee ran for touchdowns, Chas Henry kicked 3 second-half field goals, and Ahmad Black sealed the win with an 80-yard interception return TD.
After a 6-year stint at Florida, Urban Meyer temporarily ended his college coaching career with a 65-15 (81%) record for the Gators, and national championships in 2006 and 2008. His lifetime coaching mark is 104-23 (84%).
Penn State (7-6) did not help itself by committing 5 interceptions.
The 5th-ranked Stanford Cardinal (12-1) waited 14 years to win another bowl game, but made it look easy by crushing the 12th-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies, 40-12, in the Orange Bowl.
Stanford's Andrew Luck threw 4 touchdown passes while going 18-for-23 (78%) for 287 yards. Coby Fleener caught scoring passes for 41,58 and 38 yards. That was more than enough to keep Virginia Tech (11-3) in check.
Four years ago, head coach Jim Harbaugh inherited a 1-11 team, and now Stanford is 12-1 and the Orange Bowl champions. Harbaugh has since taken the head coaching job with the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL. Luck, a sophomore, has said he will return to Stanford rather than going into the NFL draft. Luck was named the Orange Bowl's Most Valuable Player.

Frequently Asked Questions...
If Ohio State gets to and loses badly in the national championship, would that affect Big 10's future chances?
I'm pretty unfamiliar with the politics of polls (and in turn, the BCS.)
If Ohio State manages to go undefeated and make the national championship game, but gets mangled again, would that affect the Big 10's chances of getting to the championship in the minds of voters and computers in future seasons? Would voters say, "Well, I guess the Big 10 is just a joke, so maybe an undefeated team from their league shouldn't make it to the national championship?" Or are voters pretty good about only considering the present situation?
Answer:
No, it wouldnt. The Big 10 is an established big time conference, last year was a fluke for them to play that poorly, other conferences have had their team get blown out in a "championship game" even the "almighty" SEC had florida blown out in a 1 vs 2 matchup where florida came in #1. Big 12 had it happen to Nebraska in the orange bowl, but I believe they were the #2.
Big 10 is as tough a conference as any other BCS. There record (though OSU is 0for) vs SEC
Last year 2-1
Last 5 year 8-6
Last decade 13-13
So they will deserve the spot win or (unlikely) lose.
