Major conference bowl results vs. other Major conference teams, realignment adjusted
Major conference versus major conference bowl wins and losses so far - adjusted for realignment (AAC, MW, MAC, CUSA - don't take umbrage, I'm just attempting a fair comparison within the group):
B10:
Winner - Michigan State, Nebraska
Losers - Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Rutgers (ND as a major),
TBD - Ohio State
Not Counted - Maryland Loss to Marshall
So far 2-5
My guess is they finish at 3-5, with OSU nipping Clemson (I don't really know why Clemson will lose as I hope they win and think they have a better offense but another Duke/TAMU might develop)
ACC:
Winner - Syracuse, Louisville
Losers - GT, BC, Miami, Duke
TBD - FSU, Clemson
Not Counted - Pitt MAC win, UNC AAC win,
Do you count ND?
So far 2-4 not counting ND's win in this total
My guess is that the ACC finishes 3-5 with FSU winning and Clemson somehow losing.
P12
Winner - UCLA, Arizona, Oregon,
Loser - Washington State, Stanford
Not Counted - Washington BYU win, Oregon State MW win, USC MW win
3-2
B12
Winner - Kansas State, Texas Tech,
Loser - Texas
Not Counted - Baylor playing AAC team
TBD - OU, Oklahoma State
So far 2-1
My guess is that the B10 finishes 3-2 with Oklahoma State winning and Oklahoma losing to Bama.
SEC
Winner - LSU, SC, TAMU, Ole Miss
Loser - Georgia,
So far 4-1
My guess is the SEC finishes 5-3 with Auburn losing to FSU, Mizzou losing, and Bama winning.
That would play out as:
SEC 5-3
B12 3-2
P12 3-2
ACC 3-5 (not counting ND's win for the ACC)
B10 3-5 (counting Rutgers loss to ND)
This year the five major conferences will have played 9 bowls against the MAC, AAC, MW, and CUSA. Next year I think that drops to what - 3 or 4?
The ACC really needed that win by Duke. Watching Georgia today was a lot like watching Duke last night.
