One of college football’s favorite pastimes is reaching knee-jerk conclusions once bowl season is over.

Sorry. Rant over.
Most attempts at assessing overall conference bowl performance are little more than a comparison of overall conference record, with an ad-hoc look at specific matchups that support the chosen narrative.
