This now has all games, including the Orange Bowl.

The Mtn West WINS with 66.7 %.

A scUM Rose Bowl win would have clinched a tie for the Big-10 to have the best bowl record. Oh, well. I think Joe Tiller and Llloyd Carr could use some clock management skills. So could Kirk Ferentz, but they won.

Big-10, SEC, and ACC all end up 3-3. Big-12 is 4-3 (all the losses were blowouts), but they had 2 games against mid-majors (UTEP and Miami Univ.) The Big-10 and the SEC had all their games against major conference teams. The ACC played Fresno St. and 3 Big East teams.

UConn's easy win over Toledo surprised me. But I think the Big Least will drop their last 2 games to end up 2-3.

And Fresno St over Virginia was a nice surprise for the WAC. Also good that it stops the talking heads from raving non-stop about the ACC. I think the ACC will end up 3-3.

Go Purdue!

Sorry I didn't get it bumped for you earlier bill. Great work, too bad Purdue gave one away to a Pac 10 team.

Add this to the current seasons Bowl results:

1998-2004 (pre bowl season) conference records in neutral site games(not just bowls but I couldn't find a very managable set of data for just bowl records.)

ACC: 30-19 (a little skewed as I did it under the current ACC)
SEC: 36-33
B10: 23-22
B12: 41-43
Pac 10: 13-20

I think this shows a pretty decent sample size and gives even more credence to those who feel the Pac 10 and B12 are overrated.

It's interesting to see the Margin of Victory/Defeat from this years Bowl Games. Cursory examination: Big10 has narrower losses than other conferences playing a similar number of games.

Good point, sandgk. The Big-12 could win this thing, despite getting totally blown out in 2 games (Okie St. and Tx A&M). The Big-10 has losses of 1, 3, and 4 points. But Iowa was lucky to pull out a win, or 2-4 would have been the worst record of any conference except the Sun Belt, despite the 2-0 start. Glad we didn't have to hear about that from the Big 10 haters.

What happened to the Almighty SEC? The best they can do is 3-3 just like the Big 10. But the Big 10 is suppose to be so weak...at least that's what a certain sports network has be saying all year. The Big 10 went 2-1 against the SEC...
