Gator Bowl wins Best of the Best competition

Northwestern fans, there's no doubt that in your minds, the Cats' 34-20 win on New Year's Day 2013 was far and away the best moment of the entire year.

And after more than a six-decade drought between bowl wins, the moment was certainly deserving.

Thanks for voting, and here's to a 2014 that more than lives up to the precedent set by 2013.

"Best of the Best":

No. 1. Victory formation in Gator Bowl: It was a thirst that hadn't been quenched since 1949. For more than six long decades, the Wildcat faithful went without seeing their team win a bowl game. But on New Year's Day of 2013, the streak was finally snapped. As Northwestern took a knee on Mississippi State's 10-yard line to cement a 34-20 victory, chills went down the spines of delirious Cats fans in the EverBank Field stands.
