2024-2025 College Football Bowl Game Results

Bowl season seemed to last forever, but it is finally over. A non Conference Champion, in fact a team that did not even win their "division" within the "Big Ten" won it all. It is hard to argue that Ohio State was not the best team when it mattered, but they did happen to lose their final regular season game at home Michigan. Fans of the former champion Wolverines can always at least claim that. Just like I can claim that the team that almost won it all, lost at home to Northern Illinois this season. Speaking of the Huskies, it was very exciting when they won their Bowl game in Double Overtime, after having trailed early on. It seemed fitting that the final play of the Potato Bowl was a Sack.

Here is a run-down of all the games. I will have to look online to see who won them, because I certainly do not remember most of the endings off-hand.
