Yeah Tuck is right this won't work with two one team conferences.

Yep, technically it would. Navy, I'm not sure about... is "Independents" really a conference?

[EmpireWF]

So should we count a conference that has a minimum of (for example), three teams?

That's OK with me. Your call. I guess that would make it a little more sporting.

That's somethin I questioned early on.

[Lefty Noob]

I'll let Empire call the shots here, but I wouldn't be opposed to setting a minimum number of bowl eligible teams for a conference to count.

[EmpireWF]

I think it's fair to set a minimum number of teams. If that conference with one team in a bowl wins, bet over.

Kind of anticlimatic.

[JRL]

So we are only going to consider the real conferences - like the SEC, ACC, Big 12 and Pac 10 almost forgot the Big 10 too.

[Lefty Noob]

I like a 3 or 4 team minimum. The WAC deserves to be in on this. The MAC? I could go either way on them (not that they'll factor in anyway, I'd bet).

[EmpireWF]

The eligible conferences (IMO) should be:

ACC (8.)
Big East (5)
Big 10 (8.)
Big 12 (8.)
Conference USA (5)
Mountain West (6)
PAC 10 (6)
SEC (9)
WAC (4)

Okay, I'm good with that. If any one of those conferences finishes with a higher winning percentage than the SEC, we win the bet.

That'll work

The SEC will Win 5 Bowl Games this season. No. 2 LSU, picked by 6, will make Ohio State 0-9 vs. SEC teams in Bowl Games All-Time. No. 5 UGA, picked by 10 will beat Top 10 Hawaii who is 12-0. No. 16 Tennessee, who beat UGA, will beat No. 18 Wisconsin - who beat no BCS Final Top 25 ranked team at all. I'm not sure that No. 12 Florida will beat unranked Michigan and even more questionable Gators to cover the opening line of 10 and a half points, but one would like their chances as well. Kentucky, picked by 1, who beat No. 2 LSU will beat 7-5 Florida State who could only beat No. 14 all season. No. 23 Auburn who beat No. 12 Florida will beat No. 15 Clemson whose best win is only over No. 35 Wake Forest when Wake Forest is 8-4 against a weak NCAA SOS of No. 70. Alabama, picked to win by 4 and who beat No. 16 Tennessee may not beat 6-6 Colorado but again one would like their chances too. Mississippi State's Sylvester Croom who beat No. 23 Auburn will beat UCF whose best win all season is over No. 40 Tulsa who has 4 losses. Ranked in some of the Top 25 already Arkansas who beat LSU, even without a Houston Nutt or Bobby Petrino to coach them in the bowl game, may not beat Missouri but Missouri will certainly know they were in a game against probably The SEC's 8th or 9th best team.

In short, it is a sensational thread title and opening statement to say you don't know who will have the best record, but it will NOT be The SEC. I mean look at the facts that The SEC 1 bowl game not on New Year's Eve or Later. If you are looking for the weenie bowls with poor teams who beat no one, and who played weak schedules and still lost - and, wish to compare the records after those weenie bowls are played of some other conference and don't even know who it is who is a strong conference this season with 7 SEC teams ranked in the Top 25 of the polls on this day today, then you are doomed to the failure of your statement before you start.

Historically, The SEC has both the highest winning percentage and most wins of all-time. This season promises to be no worse, and with Urban Meyer, Les Miles, Bobby Petrino, Nick Saban, Houston Nutt, Sylvester Croom, Mark Richt, Steve Spurrier, Phillip Fulmer, Bobby Johnson, Rich Brooks, and Tommy Tuberville the head football coaches in The SEC averaging $2 million dollars a year each - one would think that the prospects for this being a poor choice beforehand to state they will not do well right now are very good.

177-145-9 The SEC in Bowl Games to-date : .548
34-30-1 Big East in Bowl Games to-date : .531
101-91-5 PAC-10 in Bowl Games to-date : .525
77-72-2 ACC in Bowl Games to-date : .517
94-101-1 Big 10 in Bowl Games to-date : .482
37-41-0 Big XII in Bowl Games to-date : .474

And, you suggesting that the Big XII is better - when they have been the dead last worst and only have 4 ranked teams this season in the BCS Top 25 to the SEC's 2 more of 6 is pure unadulterated bunk. Other than that, I agree - The SEC ain't all that great; but, it is a lot better than any conference you can dream up ahead of time right now today to even begin to tell us in this forum who is better.

I am certain when it is all said and done, that The SEC will have the Most Bowl Wins again this year and have again the Most Top 25 Ranked Teams, the highest attendance in the nation, the best coaches nationwide and have won yet another National Championship to lead all conferences in that too in the BCS since its inception. Thanks for the laugh.

[EmpireWF]

Some interesting stats there TB, but the SEC has a huge number of bowl games compared to all of the other conferences mentioned.

331 - SEC
65 - Big East
197 - Pac 10
151 - ACC
196 - Big 10
78 - Big 12

So I wouldn't exactly call it a fair comparison in all-time bowl records.
