This doesn’t really tell the story because the conferences are bit mis-aligned with other teams from other conferences. Typically the big ten and sec are overmatched. I think a takeaway that the big ten looked very strong is fine but to say the sec is not mighty is not a good analysis, who I believe were 5-1 against non-big ten teams with their only loss against a good Notre dame team by arguably their second best team. I do agree the acc laid an egg. But when you compare records from the MAC and American to others, tell me who they beat. I mean the best team from the MAC got to play Jacksonville state! Also bowl games don’t account for the opt outs.

When two teams play each other from the same conference of course you will get one win and one loss. That dilutes your winning percentage if your above 0.500 and increases it if you're below 0.500 in other games. So how do you fairly include the Oregon-Ohio State game which should never have been played until the last game as that automatically eliminated one team from further play?

The eye ball test saids b10 was superior. B10 may have had 3 out of the top 5 teams. OSU, ND, Oregon, Texas, PSU and Georgia would have been my top 6 in order. You could argue texas was better than nd and oregon should be two because they beat osu and psu but nd made it to the final game. Georgia just wasnt that dominate team that theyve had even with beck
.

When you are a top 5 team like Georgia and you lose your starting QB, the odds are no matter how great your team is, without your starting Qb, you will probably lose. With their starting QB, Georgia would probably have been in the final and not ND.

Purdue proved a couple of years ago what happens when you play in a bowl game without the starting quarterback. No matter how hard you prepare you are not going to be as good playing without the guy who got you there

The 2024 National Championship.
The 2025 National Championship.

No SEC teams in either the 2024 championship game, OR the final four in 2025…

Incontrovertible proof that the B1G is absolutely superior to the SEC.

Given the attrition frenzy that is now the rage in the lower-tier bowls- these are the only stats that matter when comparing conferences.
