Is winning Bowl season? Not just looking at the overall records but some of the specific Bowl matchups (ie good wins/bad losses).

The ACC limped in to today's games with the loss by North Carolins and then Florida State lost, but Clemson is acquitting itself nicely getting a little redemption for the conference.

The PAC-12 has done okay with Utah and both Washington schools doing well (and Arizona and Cal) but USC and UCLA let the conference down.

Baylor aside, the Big 12 doesn't seem to be doing much.

Texas A&M aside, the SEC has represented well.

The Big-10 has actually done the best as they appear to be undefeated heading into tonight's game.

Although I have ties to WSU...there is also the Mountain west here. Boise State won handley...will look at the others in the conference too. Then edit this one.

3 wins 4 losses....one LOss to Nevada...one LOss to Arizona...So not too bad.

MSU just stunk things up for the Big 10

I think Stanford is going to spank Iowa tomorrow too.
Michigan vs Florida... 1st team to get a safety or defensive td wins.
Ohio st will probably beat Notre dame, if they're motivated. But I could also imagine them being uninspired since they were hoping for playoffs.

I think today will be a good day for the Big 10. I'm not impressed with Florida so wins by Michigan and Ohio State would be big for the conference. Tennessee and and Northwestern doesn't really matter except that it would be bad for the SEC to get swept in their Big 10 games today.

Here are the bowl records by conference so far as well as broken down vs. Power 5 & Group Of 5/Independents.

AAC: 2-6 .250 (vs. P5 2-2, vs. G5 0-4)
ACC: 4-5 .444 (vs. P5 3-3, vs. G5 1-2)
Big 12: 1-2 .333 (vs. P5 1-2, vs. G5 0-0)
Big Ten: 3-2 .600 (vs. P5 2-2, vs. G5 1-0)
C-USA: 3-2 .600 (vs. P5 0-1, vs. G5 3-1)
MAC: 3-4 .428 (vs. P5 0-1, vs. G5 3-3)
MWC: 4-4 .500 (vs. P5 0-2, vs. G5 4-2)*
Pac 12: 5-2 .714 (vs. P5 1-2, vs. G5 4-0)
SEC: 4-1 .800 (vs. P5 3-1, vs. G5 1-0)
Sun: 2-2 .500 (vs. P5 0-0, vs. G5 2-2)
Ind: 0-1 .000 (vs. P5 0-1, vs. G5 0-0)

*Thanks to a scheduling anomaly caused by three 5-7 teams being declared bowl-eligible in order to fill all available bowls, Nevada and Colorado State ended up playing each other in the Arizona Bowl.

The SEC seems to be running away with this thing (if conference performance in a bowl season was a real "thing" anyway). The Big 10 started strong but at this point they are just embarrassing themselves. Will be interesting to see how TCU does today to see if they can save face a bit for the Big 12. Otherwise, I think the PAC 12 will have had the second best bowl season.

The PAC-12 did their part to make sure picking between the Big-10, Big-12, and PAC-12 would be easy. Talk about exiting Bowl season with a whimper.
