SEC... .667 (12-6)
PAC... .625 (10-6)
AAC... .545 (6-5)

MWC.. .375 (6-10)
MAC... .357 (5-9)
SUN... .286 (4-10)

Then some of you wonder why the top teams hate this conference.
**I got this off the realignment board, and obviously didn't double check all the results.**

No other games have really been close either.
La Tech played Arkansas close, but have any other games even been within a TD?

The top teams have either played FCS teams or very difficult games. La Tech just about got one of the better wins and MT had a winnable game and imploded. WKU's other game was a CUSA game. I looked at this weeks schedule and I see some more body bag type games which will make things look even worse

The body bag games occur because most of the teams do not draw enough of their own fans. Because of this, they are forced to do body bag games to keep up with financial demands.

RE: Conference win % against FBS OOC opponents after Week 2
I don't think these are fair because they don't take opponent strength into account. There's a difference between playing Vandy and Kentucky versus playing UT, Clemson or Alabama. For instance, WESTERN Michigan gets credit for beating Northwestern. Northwestern then lost to FCS Indiana State. So instead of App, Troy or even WKU getting credit for playing top teams tougher than many of the Top 30 teams could, WMU gets a win against a terrible Northwestern team.

Ehhh, that's an oversimplification at best, and an outright lie at worst...
The bottom teams in the conference this year are likely Rice, Charlotte, FIU, UNT, and UTSA. Of those five, FIU, Rice, and UTSA consistently have some of the best OOC home match-ups.
Granted, Marshall seems to be pretty well set in this regard going forward, but teams like USM and LA Tech have issues scheduling OOC.
