Every Big 10 team has, outside of Maryland and RutgersIndiana has been to a Rose Bowl more recently
on the bright side, he'll finally get to see them play in the Rose Bowl soon.
You do realize that Indiana TIED for the Big Ten Title that year, WITH MINNESOTA, and IU got to go to the Rose Bowl because Minnesota had recently gone to the Rose Bowl? That rule remained one of the main tie-breaking rules until at least Glen Mason was coach, because Gopher fans all knew they would have gone in 1999 or 2003 if only they had won one more game to finish in a tie for the Conf Title.Indiana has been to a Rose Bowl more recently

Partial data once again. In 1967 IU, Minnesota and Purdue finished at 6-1 in the B1G. IU beat Purdue, Purdue beat Minnesota, and Minnesota beat IU. Yes IU got the nod because they hadn't been to the Rose Bowl for a longer time than the other two. But, OMG what a list of mediocre scheduling.
Yeah, and their closest loss both years was to the Conf Champs.
Partial data? Dude, sometimes you only need the basic facts, dumbass. I was NOT trying to boost up 1967 Gophers or anything. Just stated a simple fact.
Bull Shit!!! Now you're too stupid to read your own posts. My God are you insane?
You were pushing the fact that Minnesota TIED for the B!G title that year. Stop BS-ing and people will leave you alone. Unfortunately everyone is beginning to realizes that it is impossible for you to NOT BS. You simply are a pathological liar.
A pathological liar? LOL, you are a retard, truly.
Yeah, it WAS a trash program. That's what happens when an Admin gives up on a sport for 40 years. From the late 1950s until the late 1990s, the UMn Admin only gave the football program the bare minimum to stay alive. If not for those Rose Bowl trips in 1961 & 1962 the program would have been totally shut down. They wanted to follow the Univ of Chicago's example. The Natty in 1960 saved the program, then a changed attitude 40 years later began the 20-25 year process of rebuilding with the final pieces of the puzzle hopefully coming into place with the hiring of Fleck, DC Rossi and then the rehiring of OC KC. The trio is something like 16-3 here at UMn and has been a Top 5 nationally ranked defense with and without KC, now with him their offense is helping the defense out by keeping them fresh and off the field for the majority of games.
Minnesota may forgo the Rose Bowl this year. They may accept the invitation to the cfp?
They beat Purdue, then PSU, then everyone else going into the CCG, where will they be ranked? If OSU is #1, couldn't UMn lose in a close game and get in? More than one prediction model out there already has 2 B1G teams in the cfp, why does it have to be OSU & Mich?
I honestly think they will. The Pac has enough decent to good teams that they could easily beat up on each other, same with the ACC and definitely the Big 12 will beat each other up.
