The inaugural year of football in the new Pony Conference took place this past fall, and the Twilight Sparkle Alicorns were head and shoulders and flanks above everypony else. The ALis, as they are know for short, floated like buttlerflies and stung like bees, finishing the second 13-0 with a Pony record of 5-0, the most points scored at 1051, and the least points conceded at 182. They wrapped up the year with a sweet BCS National Championship victory over Louisville.

The Spirit of Fluttershy College had a record of 11-2 and a 3-2 record in Pony play. Their aerial attack led them to a Las Vegas Bowl victory over USC: a 66-0 shutout. Applejack State's Appleknockers were rocking the pistol en route to the first of three 10-3 (2-3 Pony) records. As the Poinsettia Bowl representative from the Pony, they blew past an overmatched Western Kentucky side and gorged on some seafood before taking a long bus ride back to the Acres.

The Pinkie Pie Major Trouble were too hot for many teams to handle as they finished 10-3 (2-3 Pony), to go with an Independence Bowl victory over Virginia. It is not known whether or not Cheeri Lee will be returning as coach of the Major Trouble next season, as her contract with the team expires at the end of this year.

The Royals of the Rarity College of the Arts hit their stride and finished 10-3 (2-3 Pony). They were the other team in the conference besides Twilie to record over 1000 points (1015). The Royals wrapped up their season demolishing Southern Miss in the Armed Forces Bowl. Finally, the Rainbow Dash Rainbows finished at the bottom of the conference with a 9-4 record (1-4 Pony). However, despite a very disappointing year, the Rainbows ended their season with a New Mexico Bowl victory over Tulsa.

The second year of Pony Conference football is sure to be exciting. With the X on Twilight Sparkle's back getting bigger in 2015, will the competition be able to catch up?
