I wonder if they already included Rutgers or Maryland in their Big Ten data. If not, then these locations will boost the conference's average temp up another notch.

Quote:The Mid-American Conference (MAC) and the Big Ten Conference are neck-and-neck for the “coldest conference”. Both conferences feature teams that are tightly clustered geographically around the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest regions. In fact, their geographical footprint overlaps considerably which is why their averages are so close. By both average temperature and maximum temperature, the MAC (52.1°F, 62.0°F respectively) just barely edges out the Big Ten (52.2°F, 62.3°F).

Why not "Cool", instead of "Cold", or "Hot" instead of "Warm"? You can see the bias of the author in his choice to use the word with the more negative connotation for the lower temperatures while using a much more positive descriptor for the higher temperatures.

While a snowy game looks exciting on a news program, it stinks watching one in person.

Also, this says the maximum temperature in Mt Pleasant during the football season is 58.8 degrees? Doesn't sound so Pleasant now, right? You haven't had a 60 degree temp during September yet? I actually think he means 'average maximum daily temperature'.

And Buffalo gets on the lists for most wet days during football season.

I assume those temps are Celsius, not Fahrenheit.
