The 2024-2025 Bowl Challenge Cup results are in and The American Athletic Conference has edged the Mid-American Conference and the Big Ten to take 1st place. While the Big Ten has gotten the majority of the headlines, the AAC’s strong showing included wins by Army, East Carolina, Memphis, Navy, South Florida and UTSA with losses only coming from North Texas and Tulane. Their 6-2 record just edged the MAC which scored a conference-record 5 wins with a 5-2 record overall thanks to the efforts of Buffalo, Miami (OH), Northern Illinois, Ohio and Toledo. The Big Ten, which has a 7-4 record and two teams yet to play, cannot edge The American even if Ohio State and Penn State win their semifinal games. Note that opening round College Football Playoff games do not count as bowl games and therefore do not count in these standings.
