Let us review the 2018 bowl season conference results (NCG excluded)
SEC 6-5
Winners:
Auburn,
Florida,
Alabama,
Kentucky,
LSU,
Texas A&M
Losers:
Vanderbilt,
South Carolina,
Missouri,
Mississippi State,
Georgia
Take away: In losing the Sugar Bowl, UGA resembled 2014 Bama - Denied the chance to play for the NC, pouty brats listlessly go through the motions and are taken to the woodshed by their B12-2 opponents. Mizzou and MSU disappoint, but SoCar embarrassed themselves and the conference.
B1G 5-4
Winners:
Minnesota,
Wisconsin,
Northwestern,
Iowa,
Ohio State
Losers:
Purdue,
Michigan,
Michigan State,
Penn State
Take away: Angry Weasels and Nittany Lions fall flat. Purdue reveals feet of clay. MSU is half of the most unwatchable bowl game. God loves Minnie and Gopher fans.
B12-2 4-3
Winners:
TCU,
Baylor,
Oklahoma State,
Texas
Losers:
West Virginia,
Iowa State,
Oklahoma
Take away: Texas has found a coach to rebuild the program (T for Texas, T for Tennessee?). Next year, Cyclones!
ACC 5-5
Winners:
Wake Forest,
Duke,
Syracuse,
Virginia,
Clemson
Losers:
Georgia Tech,
Miami,
Virginia Tech,
Pitt,
North Carolina State
Take away: The conference desperately needs Clemson to win the NCG.
PAC 3-4
Winners:
Washington State,
Stanford,
Oregon
Losers:
Arizona State,
California,
Utah,
Washington
Take away: The AAC is gunning for you, PAC. They want to displace you in the P5. Oregon is the other half of the most unwatchable bowl game.
AAC 2-5
Winners:
Tulane,
Cincinnati
Losers:
South Florida,
Memphis,
Houston,
Temple,
UCF
Take away: Um, yeah, AAC. You're not displacing anybody. Cinderella (UCF) lost her slipper at the ball, and it's a common shoe size, a very common shoe size.
CUSA 4-2
Winners:
UAB,
Marshall,
Florida International,
Louisiana Tech
Losers:
Middle Tennessee State,
North Texas
Take away: Welcome back, UAB! Expect no special consideration next year. Alas, poor MTSU. We knew them, Horatio.
MAC 1-5
Winner: Ohio
Losers:
Eastern Michigan,
Northern Illinois,
Toledo,
Western Michigan,
Buffalo
Take away: It's all in the rearview mirror, boys. Ahead to 2019.
MWC 3-2
Winners:
Fresno State,
Utah State,
Nevada
Losers:
San Diego State,
Hawaii
Take away: Likely, BSU would have added to the win column, upsetting BC. The weather is fickle. Good showing.
SBC 3-2
Winners:
Appalachian State,
Georgia Southern,
Troy
Losers:
Louisiana,
Arkansas State
Take away: The little conference that can. You let us down, ULL and Arky State. Burn last year's brooms and buy anew.
