Yes, other teams have won titles more recently as members of other conferences, but no team representing the B1G has won a title other than Michigan and Ohio State since the 1960s when Michigan State, Minnesota, and Iowa all claimed titles. Other than the past couple of years, very few B1G teams have even been in position to threaten for a national title in decades besides the big 2.
If people are wondering why there’s suddenly so much B1G smack talk, this is the first time in anyone who’s under 70’s life that they can legitimately claim that the B1G is the best conference in football. Conference pride is absolutely cringe as hell, but it’s a little understandable why B1G fans have become a little more unbearable (admittedly mostly fans of my first flair, who are always a little unbearable) this post season. For the first time since the 1960’s the B1G is truly a power conference, not just a power 2 and friends. I for one think that’s something to celebrate. I’ll go back to rooting against Indiana and Oregon next season.
