re: ACC leads the nation in bowl bids once again....

Congrats on 3/4th of your bowl eligible teams having 6-7 wins.

This is the first year the ACC has sent more teams bowling than the SEC in probably over a decade, and that's only because 6–6 Missouri has a bowl ban. Otherwise, both conferences would have ten bowl eligible teams.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up after I made this statement: Since the beginning of the BCS, these are the number of teams the SEC vs. ACC has sent bowling:

1998: SEC: 8, ACC: 5
1999: SEC: 8, ACC: 5
2000: SEC: 9, ACC: 5
2001: SEC: 8, ACC: 6
2002: SEC: 8, ACC: 7
2003: SEC: 7, ACC: 6
2004: SEC: 6, ACC: 6
2005: SEC: 6, ACC: 7
2006: SEC: 9, ACC: 8
2007: SEC: 9, ACC: 8
2008: SEC: 8, ACC: 9
2009: SEC: 10, ACC: 7
2010: SEC: 10, ACC: 9
2011: SEC: 9, ACC: 8
2012: SEC: 9, ACC: 7
2013: SEC: 10, ACC: 11
2014: SEC: 12, ACC: 11
2015: SEC: 10, ACC: 9
2016: SEC: 12, ACC: 11
2017: SEC: 9, ACC: 10
2018: SEC: 11, ACC: 11
2019: SEC: 9, ACC: 10

The record is 15–5–2, in the SEC's favor. There were a couple of wrinkles, like SCAR and Clemson both turning down a bowl bid, Miami being on probation, Ole Miss being on probation, Missouri being on probation, North Carolina not receiving an invitation a couple of times, etc. But it more or less evens out in the end.

For margin of defeat: all five times the ACC won, they sent one more team to a bowl. The SEC sent three more in 1998, three more in 1999, four more in 2000, two more in 2001, three more in 2009, and two more in 2012
