Now show their opponents.

I think the acc and sec having 11 and 12 teams respectively is more impressive.

That was a nice win, Ohio is consistently one of the best teams in the group of four

Why?

Like my edit says, 11 or 12 teams in is more impressive than 6.

Especially since both had playoff teams meaning each of the other teams played one slot above where they usually would.

Hard to get 12 teams in when you have some of the nations best beating up on each other week in and out through conference play

Not that it matters but the SEC was 6-5 in bowl games.

We tried to schedule a playoff team but they were scared to play us. They said something about "Louisiana Tech owns us"

Is it though? Schedule some cupcakes and you don't even need a winning conference record.

The PAC-12 going 3-4 is probably the most impressive of these records.

If Southern Miss had rightfully been put in a bowl game, the record would have been ever better!

UAB had a grueling matchup with Middle Tennessee the following weekend and probably spent the week prepping for that game. You ever been to a game in Murfreesboro? It's hard to get a play call in with the noise.

I've seen it called the Death Valley of central Tennessee

UAB: Lost 41-20 to aTm
Marshall: Lost 41-20 to VA Tech
FIU: Lost 31-17 to Miami
LA Tech: Lost 45-3 to Miss State

You'd get a lot more respect if your flagbearers weren't getting their asses kicked by middling P5 teams in the regular season.
