Related Topics: Bowl

We’ve done this for 2015, 2016 and 2017 already. You know the drill by now.

One of college football’s favorite pastimes is reaching knee-jerk conclusions once bowl season is over.

Sorry. Rant over.

Most attempts at assessing overall conference bowl performance are little more than a comparison of overall conference record, with an ad-hoc look at specific matchups that support the chosen narrative.
