Interesting.

Wonder if Harbaugh knows the table is set.

Edited my last post to show the 10-Year War as well. I've also put an asterisk next to every team that won/split a Big10 title during that span.

And those figures demonstrate how IMO the 10-Year-War, while essential to the mythology of both our schools, is overrated. The brutal honest truth is that the Big10 was pathetic for those ten years. Michigan & Ohio State essentially had no competition and beat up on a bad league. Maybe if their bowl record had been better in that ten year period you might convince me otherwise, but the two schools went a combined 2-12 during that stretch. Bo didn't win his first bowl game until Woody was already gone.
