On Wednesday the Foster Farm Bowl pits the Arizona Wildcats from the Pacific 12 Conference against
the Purdue Boilermakers from the Big 10 Conference. So here is
my
analysis of the Foster Farms

"league's" average SOS. For this season the Wildcats'
best victory was
over #39
ranked Washington State by a score of (58-37); their only victory over a team currently ranked in the top half of the FBS. The Wildcats' worst loss
was
to in-state rival #78
