Bowl season is nearly upon us.
Last year the Big Ten sent nine teams to the postseason as the conference went 5-4 in its bowl matchups. Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes won the Rose Bowl, Wisconsin beat up on Miami, and Northwestern took down a good Utah team. Things didn't go quite as well for the Wolverines, Nittany Lions, and Boilermakers.
Whether you're someone who roots for every Big Ten team to win or you have no rooting interest whatsoever, the lengthy bowl lineup does help to make the holiday season that much more enjoyable.
The 2019 season will again see nine of the league's top teams in the spotlight over the coming weeks with a few of those matchups standing out above the rest.
