I’m not sure what quantifications you are looking for. I said I am probably in the minority because I think there are a lot of posters on this board that care how well the Big Ten teams do, especially in bowl games. Myself, I really don’t care. I’m not openly rooting for many other teams other than Nebraska, unless those games have a DIRECT correlation on where NU will end up in a given season. As it currently stands, Nebraska had a super s#!tty season, so I could give 2 s#!ts about how well the conference does during bowl season. All the games are having an INDIRECT impact on Nebraska. 

You said: “Caring about how other teams in the conference do is something that fans of losing teams do.“. How so? Nebraska was a losing team this year but that hasn’t always been the case. Other folks on this board root for other teams in our conference-so are you calling us losers? 

I just like to watch football period. I will always root for a B1G team playing against a team not in our conference. I also root for old Big 8 teams. I will never root for Texas or Notre Dame. 

@ColoradoHusk, I root for ever B1G team except the Huskers to lose unless they're playing the SEC, then I root for the SEC to lose. If every single team but the Huskers lost every game, I'd be cool with that. I don't give a crap about the conference or who thinks which conference is the best or whatever.
