From the conference’s pre-bowl release (Dec. 2011):
Into Opponent’s Territory: For the seventh consecutive season, at least two of the Big Ten bowl matchups will be virtual road games, with conference teams facing schools from the state in which the bowl will be played. This season, five of the Big Ten’s bowl contingent will face an opponent who will be playing in their home state this postseason. Purdue will take on Western Michigan in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl (Detroit, Mich.), Northwestern takes on Texas A&M in the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas (Houston, Texas), Illinois faces UCLA in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (San Francisco, Calif.), Penn State challenges Houston in the TicketCity Bowl (Dallas, Texas) and Ohio State will take on Florida in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl (Jacksonville, Fla.). Including these virtual road bowl contests, the Big Ten leads all conferences with 21 “road” bowl games over the last seven seasons. Over that span, the Big East is next with just nine “road” bowl games, followed by the ACC (7), Big 12 (7), SEC (4) and Pac-12 (2).

This entry in “Country Song Or College Football Recruiting Ballad?” earns its spot thanks to the chorus:
For me you’ll always be 18
And beautiful and dancin’ away with my heartBut the third verse doesn’t hurt, either, if you’re familiar with how the tide turns on many a highly rated player who doesn’t quite pan out:
You headed off to college at the end of that summer and we lost touch
I guess I didn’t realize even at that moment we lost so much -
Taken out of context (slightly), Nick Saban provides the best current description of the bowls: “I think it’s important to keep the integrity of the bowls because I think they provide a lot of positive self-gratification for the kids in college.”
