Most of Siri's Watson-style smarts are just Wolfram Alpha queries, no?

I'm not sure.

I asked Siri "Did Michigan win its bowl game?" and it gave me the right answer and said "Michigan lost to Kansas state in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.

Wolfram Alpha, with the same query, just gave me information about the state of Michigan.

Bing gave me search results about Michigan Football, and Google's top results were an article about the actual bowl game. I don't have an Android phone to try Google Now.
