Big 12 Allows Fewest Points of Any Conference During Bowl Season

The results are in. The averages are calculated.

With one game left to go in the college football playoff, the conference that gave up the least amount of points per game in the bowl season is the Big 12.

Fewest points allowed per game in bowls by Power5 conference may shock some folks: Big12: 21.5; ACC: 22.3; SEC: 25.4; Pac12: 29.2; B1G: 29.8

It has to be a typo.

How can the Big 12 be the best defense in the country in bowl season when they don’t play any defense during the regular season?
