For the most part, I think looking at the 5 year recruiting of each B10 team is a good indicator of how well they have played in their bowl game. The biggest difference is Michigan's domination of Florida thanks to Harbaugh's elite coaching.
Stanford 15th ranked 5 year recruiting , Iowa 50th ... Stanford winning 21-0
Michigan 11th, Florida 8th ... Michigan won 41-7 .... Harbaugh effect.
Tennessee 13th, NW 44th ... Tennessee won 45-6
Alabama 1st, MSU 27th ... Alabama won 38-0
Ohio State 2nd, ND 10th... OSU won 44-28
Minnesota 65th, Central Michigan 101st ... Minnesota won 21-14 (barely won).
IU 55th, Duke 56th ... Duke won 44-41 in OT.
Good stuff

Grammar... The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts.
It really is all about recruiting. The best players will win or lose. Coaching is more of an intangible thing. Over the course of the game the team with the best players win. Having said that they're are great coaches that can out prepare you if all things are equal. like a Saban or Meyer, and Harbaugh. There's a few odd ball teams that get top recruits but are still mediocre like Texas but overall gimmi the best players and I'll beat you.
It's about both.. You need to build a system, get the right guys and then make sure there is chemistry. You still have to teach and mentally prepare, but it is easier to scheme when you don't have to cover holes.

We also need to remind ourselves these are kids and sometimes they fall apart in bowl games... Iowa is better than they've shown, despite my current amusement
