The Victors: Our Bowling League


As of this writing, the Big Ten Conference (B1G) is 7-0 in the 2017-2018 college football bowl season.

Saturday, 30 December — Orange Bowl
(№ 6) Wisconsin 34-24 Miami (№ 11)

Saturday, 30 December — Fiesta Bowl
(№ 9) Penn State 35-28 Washington (№ 12)

Friday, 29 December — Cotton Bowl
(№ 5) Ohio State 24-7 U.S.C. (№ 8)

Friday, 29 December — Music City Bowl
(№ 20) Northwestern 24-23 Kentucky

Thursday, 28 December — Holiday Bowl
(№ 18) Michigan Agricultural 42-17 Washington State (№ 21)

Wednesday, 27 December — (Sponsor) Bowl
Purdue 38-35 Arizona

Wednesday, 27 December — Pinstripe Bowl
Iowa 27-20 Boston College

The B1G Champions soundly defeated the Pac-12 Champions, the B1G runners-up topped the A.C.C. runners-up, & a B1G club defeated the Pac-12 runners-up. Of the other four victories, two were against the Pac-12—the ancient enemy—& one each against the S.E.C. & the A.C.C. That's 4-0 against the Pac-12, 2-0 against the A.C.C., & 1-0 against the S.E.C.

The valiant Wolverines are the final B1G club to play, on New Year's Day against the gamey Gamecocks of South Carolina (of the S.E.C.) in the (Sponsor) Bowl. The conference is perfect so far, guys; so, you know, let's not foul it up for everyone. 8-0 sounds much better than 7-1, yeah?

Go Blue!
