College Bowl Wrap-up

The college bowls are over and we are into the NFL playoffs. I thought I'd take a look at how the college conferences did in the 34 bowls.

The best showing by a conference with five or more teams playing belongs to the Mountain West with a 5-1 (.833) record. The only lose the Mountain West had was that of the TCU Horned Frogs.

Of the six BCS conferences (indicated by an asterisk), the best record was the Big East's 4-2 (.667). The problem for the Big East is that the two teams (Cincinnati and West Virginia) that played in what could be considered "major" bowls ended up losing.
