I prefer to look at things since the advent of the B12. Baylor hasn't been to a bowl since the start of the Big 12, while
ISU has been to five. Yeah, they were good back in the day, but that is distant history.
KU and Mizzou have been bad, but this last year changed things. Basically,
ISU had their shot a few years ago and blew it.
Just watch, this is a total Jon Miller subject (especially coming off of a hokeye loss). I can just hear it... "Sorry Clone fans, but you're the worst team ever in the history of the Big XII, just a fact. I hate to be the one to tell it to you". Yeah, I'm sure he really hates it. BTW, with Minnesota's past success, you could probably argue that iowa is at the very bottom of their conference as well.
