It says something that the game being played in Birmingham, Alabama (South Carolina vs UConn) is being played under colder conditions than that in Toronto, Canada (South Florida vs Northern Illinois). True it was close to one (1) degree F on the streets of Toronto and they played indoors at the Rogers Centre, but still....

Speaking of the Independence Bowl, South Florida pulled away in the second half to beat the Northern Illinois Huskies 27-3. Way to go Bulls!

Meanwhile, in the PapaJohn's Bowl in Alabama, the UConn Huskies out muscled South Carolina 20-7.

So the Big East ends the bowl season with a record of 4-2.
Rutgers beat Central Florida 45-24 in the St. Petersburg Bowl played in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Pitt beat North Carolina 19-17 in the Meineke Car Care Bowl played in Charlotte, NC.
West Virginia lost to Florida State 33-21 in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. This in Coach Bobby Bowden's last game after a historic career.
Cincinnati lost to Florida 51-24 in the Sugar Bowl played in New Orleans, La. The final game for larger than life QB Tim Tebow who set all kinds of BCS records. And, possibly, the final game for coach Urban Meyer.
