Big 12 and other conference bowl records

[uihawk82]

The Big 12 is 6-0, 6 for 6 in the win column this year in bowl games which iirc is quite the improvement over recent years.

I really haven't paid much attention as to whether the Big 12 teams were favored in these games or pulled off some upsets.

Anyone have clarity as to the above statement.

Pac 12 only gets 2 bowls, wow. The non-P5 teams are making a case for an 8 team playoff.

Such a weird year it is really hard to tell which conference was the best. Can you really brag about that 6-0 record?

Double check. I think that is the number of bowl games Big 12 is in, not victories?

Correct. Big 12 is 4-0 with Iowa State playing tomorrow and TCU cancelling due to Rona.

Thanks for the correction as the TV people's graphic said 6-0.

4-0,6-0 it doesn't matter. There's no conference bragging rights this year.

NW has put up over 400 yards of offense....outside Alabama the SEC has been one big eye roll this year.

Mid level SEC teams have completely lost their program consistency. Too many players jump at the NFL after two years whether they have a real shot at getting drafted or not. The coaches seem to get fired almost as often.

Rinse and repeat.

What Iowa would have done to Missouri may have been grounds for covering one's eyes altogether.

This will be the craziest 'roster management' season ever for college teams.

Over 300 players have declared for the NFL draft. (I do wonder who advises some of these players. 5 didn't even start for their teams.)

Many are Sr's (ISM, Brandon Smith, etc.). Some are underclassmen (D.Nixon)

There was early signing day. There is regular signing day in Feb.

There is the transfer portal.

There is the extra/free year of eligibility.

There are some head coaching changes, which has the trickle down effect on asst. coaches, other staff positions.

And still dealing with the virus and athletic department budgets.

Next fall will be interesting for some teams.....
