Without googling, can you name the runner up in the Big Ten West? This team finished just two games behind your Wisconsin Badgers and went 5-0 against everyone else in the Big Ten West.
I suppose the featured image and post title gave it away. But the answer of course is the Northwestern Wildcats (9-3, 7-2). The Wildcats had another successful season and are rewarded with a bowl trip.
in fact, Northwestern has now gone bowling eight times in the last 10 seasons. Last season, the Wildcats concluded the season by winning the Pinstripe Bowl.
