Non-SEC division winners go 0-6 in bowl games

Semi-interesting stat to note that all 6 non SEC P5 division winners lost their bowl games. Not sure how many times that’s happened that so many division winners lost their bowl games.

PAC-12
Utah: L Rose Bowl to PSU 35-21
So Cal: L Cotton Bowl to Tulane 46-45

ACC
UNC: L Holiday Bowl to Oregon 28-27
Clemson: L Orange Bowl to UT 31-14

Big 10
Michigan: L Fiesta Bowl to TCU 51-45
Purdue: L Citrus Bowl to LSU 63-7

SEC
LSU: W Citrus Bowl vs Purdue 63-7
UGA: W Peach Bowl vs Ohio St 42-41

Now, the Big 12 doesn’t have divisions, but if we want to include their top 2:

KSU: L Sugar Bowl to Bama 45-20
TCU: W Fiesta Bowl vs Michigan 51-45
TCU: L to UGA in National Championship 65-7

So non SEC division winners went 0-6 in bowl games, 1-8 if you want to include the Big 12’s championship participants.
