Bowl season is upon us, and the first Big Ten team to participate in the bowl season is the Maryland Terrapins. Maryland, who finished the season 6-6, will take on the Boston College Eagles, who also finished 6-6, in the Quick Lane Bowl.
Neither team had a season-defining win but both had at least one win against a bowl eligible team. Maryland’s best win of the season came early in the year against Central Florida, who beat Arkansas State in the Cure Bowl. The win was part of Maryland’s improbable 4-0 start to the season.
Boston College took down North Carolina State earlier in the year and Wake Forest on the road in the final week of the season to become bowl eligible.
