Remove ads
The Bowl Challenge Cup is a competition among NCAA college football conferences in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), formerly called Division I-A, based on win–loss records in the bowl games that take place annually during December and January. The winner is the conference that has the highest winning percentage, among conferences with a minimum of three teams appearing in bowl games.
The Challenge was created in 2002 by ESPN,[1] who also occasionally refers to it as the "Bowl Cup Challenge" when promoting it.[2] Originally sponsored by Cooper Tire,[3] ESPN went several years without a sponsor; since the 2015–16 bowl season, Progressive has been the sponsor.
