Power 5 Bowl Games Comparison

Pioneer started another thread asking if SEC was still the best conference. My response was if you compare the matchups in the bowl games, we still are despite not having the best record. Here's a breakdown of each conferences bowl games.

The first column is that teams rank within their conference (based on their conference record, and overall record as a tie-breaker). The second column is obviously whether they won or lost, 3rd column is their opponents ranking within their conference, 4th is what conference the opponent is in, and 5th is points won or lost for that game. Basically if you win a game against a lower ranked opponent or lose to a higher ranked opponent, you don't get any points. If you win against a higher ranked opponent, you get as many points as the difference in your ranking (i.e. a 12 over a 5 gets 7 points). If it's a non-power 5 opponent, the points are doubled or halved depending on if you won or lost (a loss to a non power 5 is double negative points, a win is half positive points).

Sorry for the long post, but it's something I used to do every year and the SEC always comes out on top. In this case, the SEC would get 15 points, Pac 12 5, Big 10 1, ACC -6, and Big 12 -12 (they suck).
