One conference had more bowl teams. Another had more 10-win teams. Both were lauded as stronger.
As it turns out, neither the SEC nor the Big Ten proved its superiority over all the college football land this postseason. Another conference did, one that has finally risen up after years of looking up.
All hail the ACC, the new king of bowl season.
This should only be surprising to those who have sat alone in a dark room over the last four years. It is indisputable how much better the ACC is today than it was just a few seasons ago.
