There are 39 total bowl games this year. Eleven different conferences have representatives in at least three of the games. The battle between conferences has taken on a much larger role these past few seasons. Who is the best non-power conference? What teams would survive if the power conferences formed "super conferences"? What teams would be brought over to help form these conferences?
Much like any other contest there is also bragging rights on the line and credibility to be gained by having your conference win their bowl games.
With all that said, lets take a look at how many teams each conference has in the Bowl Games.
