- Tom_Bowl abstract "The Tom Bowl is a fan-supported college football bowl game scheduled to be played annually at Frank A. Schafer Field in Beal City, Michigan that is not sanctioned by the NCAA. It annually invites the #1 and #2 teams in the nation to play in a college football championship game. However, although the group formally invites college teams every year to play in the bowl, no school has ever accepted an invitation. However, some athletic directors and conference presidents/commissioners have sent response letters, declining while sarcastically telling the group that it was an honor to be invited. They also sometimes include tongue in cheek good luck wishes.The Tom Bowl started in 1989 by a group of fans with invitations extended to the University of Colorado and the University of Miami. Colorado declined the invitation and alternate teams of Middle Tennessee State and Eastern Michigan were invited. Since then the Tom Bowl has annually invited the top two teams unless those teams are already going to play. In those years the Tom Bowl has elected to have alternative games such as a battle between the #3 and #4 teams to determine the "true #2" or as in 2002, the Big Ten Championship when Iowa and Ohio State didn't play during the regular season.Following the 2005 season, the Tom Bowl broke with tradition and used a BCS-like formula to invite three teams: USC, Texas, and Penn State to play in Tom Bowl XVII.[1] Predictably, none of the teams showed up (though the Pac-10 replied, apparently accepting the invitation but pledging not to show up on behalf of USC) and only twelve spectators did. The game was declared a 0-0-0 tie.In 2007 the Tom Bowl devised a new format where the top three teams were invited to play in a round-robin tournament style game with each team playing each other for a half. The Tom Bowl has used this formula ever since although in 2009 invites were extended to six different teams including Emory University which boasts of being undefeated since 1836 because they do not have a football team. The Tom Bowl returned to the three team format in 2010.Tom Bowl Game-by-Game Results1989 Middle Tennessee St. 0; Eastern Michigan 0*1990 University of Colorado ?; Notre Dame ?1991 University of Washington 0; University of Miami 01992 Florida St. 0; University of Miami 01993 Florida St. 0; West Virginia 01994 University of Nebraska 0; Penn St. 01995 University of Nebraska 0; Northwestern 01996 Arizona State University 0; Florida St. 01997 University of Nebraska 0; University of Michigan 01998 Kansas State University 0; Ohio State University 0+1999 University of Nebraska 0; University of Wisconsin 0&2000 University of Oklahoma 0; University of Miami 02001 University of Miami 0; University of Colorado 02002 University of Iowa 0; Ohio State 0@2003 University of Southern California 0; Louisiana State University 02004 University of Southern California 0; University of Oklahoma 0; Auburn University 0%2005 University of Southern California 0; University of Texas 0; Penn State University 02006 University of Michigan 0; Ohio State University 02007 University of Hawaii 0; University of Kansas 0; Ohio State University 02008 University of Florida 0; University of Oklahoma 0; University of Texas 0^2009 University of Alabama 0; University of Texas 0; University of Cincinnati 0; Texas Christian University 0; Boise State University 0; Emory 02010 University of Oregon 0; Auburn University 0; Texas Christian University 02011 Louisiana State 0; Oklahoma State 0; University of Oregon 02012 Notre Dame 0; Alabama 0; Stanford 02013 Florida St. 0; Auburn 0; Michigan State 0* 1989 contest featured alternates after Colorado declined an invitation to face Miami-FL.+ 1998 contest featured #3 OSU vs. #4 K-State due to Fiesta Bowl (#1 Tenn. vs. #2 FSU)@ 2002 contest featured the Big 10 championship due to #1 Miami vs. #2 OSU.
