Week 2: Featured Matchups - Mammals vs. Storms

CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL
Miami Hurricanes vs. Wisconsin Badgers

December hurricanes are rare, but have occurred in the Atlantic as late as December 30. Florida is prime hurricane territory, and if one shows up even the ferocious badgers are in trouble.

HURRICANES, 28-14.


INSIGHT BOWL
Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. Iowa State Cyclones

Tornadoes are seriously formidable opponents, but what better shelter than a gopher hole? In a low scoring affair...

GOPHERS, 7-3.
