the Pac-8 (later the Pac-10 with the two Arizona schools) owned the Big Ten. Look up some of those games and you will see some very high-ranked Big 10 teams (like Ohio St. who was ranked #1 after the 1975 season) getting beat by big underdogs.

From 1970 through 1989, the Pac-10 went 16-4 against the Big 10.
