:0008 Was thinking you and maybe RollTide might appreciate. He only spends time in the damn General Discussion or Anti-Obama room though:mj07:
Do you want Miami, BC and VaTech's results lumped fully in the ACC or broken out when they were still in the Big East?
Here is what I have found so far. What is listed below are the " straight up results". I copied and pasted this info from the author.
Today I conclude my series of conference teams of the decade with a look at how each individual conference fared in the past decade in bowl games. To come up with a ranking system I included their overall bowl record, records against BCS conf teams, non-BCS conf teams, records against ranked opponents, the ranked teams? records, and most importantly their BCS bowl record.
Here are the overall records for each conference and how I would rank each conference?s performance in the past 10 years in bowl games. Keep in mind this not my overall ranking on which conference is the toughest in the country but just one factor that goes into my ranking along with non-conf record, record against BCS foes, number of players drafted and number of top 10 finishes just to name a few.

The SEC was clearly the top performing conference in bowl games in the last ten years. Their overall 48 bowl wins were 10 more than any other conference and their win % was just behind the MWC and Big East. What really separated the conference from the others was their performance in BCS bowls and games against ranked teams. Their 32 wins over ranked teams was 13 more than the Big 10 and their outstanding 12-3 record in BCS games was clearly the best. The conference also went a perfect 5-0 in national title games!
Coming in at #2 is the MWC, which is very surprising but much deserved. Despite having less overall wins than several of the BCS conferences in many categories, their winning percentages were higher in nearly every category. Thier 63.2% win % was #1 as was their 61.1% vs BCS conf teams. The conference also fared well vs ranked teams and in BCS bowls and what put them over #3 was their 6-5 record (including 2-0 LY) against the Pac-10.
The Pac-10 also had a great decade in bowl games including a 9-3 mark in BCS bowls thanks in large part to USC?s 6-1 record. The conference would have been ranked higher if not for their sub-.500 record against non-BCS schools. The Big East comes in at #4 here with an overall 62.7% win % which was best among BCS conferences. While the conference did well in BCS games at 6-4, they did fatten up on the little guys with a 12-1 mark against non-BCS conferences. While it should be noted that they took care of business when they had too, the conference was just 20-18 against the other BCS conferences.
The Big 12 racked up 38 wins (2nd most) and were right around the .500 mark in several categories. The conference was 32-34 vs BCS teams, 6-5 vs non-BCS teams and their ranked teams were 19-20. The Big 10 is #6 on my list and it is shocking to see how poorly the conference did overall with just a 40.6% win %. The conference was just 19-27 vs ranked teams and 6-11 in BCS games. To the conference?s credit they did play the least amount of non-BCS teams with only three games and the Big 10 got a big boost last year with 4 wins over Top 15 teams in bowl games.
The ACC like the Big 10 did not have a great decade in bowl games. Despite having a better win % than the Big 10, their 1-9 mark in BCS bowls including 0-2 vs the Big 10 puts them at #7. Finally, the WAC deserves some mention here thanks to Boise St with 2 BCS wins and their .500 mark against ranked teams.

Again, this is copied and pasted from the author. In my research I have seen some charts which break down the information I was seeking. But the info was not exactly what I was looking for. If any of you stats guys have easy access to this type of info it would be helpful to me in my capping and hopefully to some of you.
ty & gl
ACC
After sending 10 teams to bowl games a year ago, just seven Atlantic Coast Conference schools will play in the postseason of ?09-10. Four of them will be playing as favorites while three will be in the underdog role. Of course, Georgia Tech represents the ACC in the BCS this winter taking on Iowa in the Orange Bowl. Be sure to take a look at the conference vs. conference records involving ACC teams from recent bowl games, as five of this year?s contests will pit ACC vs. the Big East, Pac 10, or Big Ten, while in two others, the ACC rep will be favored over a SEC foe.
Underdogs have been nearly automatic in ACC bowl games of late. Including last year?s 6-2-1 ATS performance, dogs have gone 24-9-1 ATS (73%) in the L33 games. Over the L3 seasons, that dog record is 18-6-1 ATS (75%).
Laying points with ACC teams has been a losing proposition, as they are just 6-7 SU & 3-10 ATS (23%) as chalk over the last three seasons.
Against non-BCS conferences, the ACC has gotten involved in high scoring games, going 7-3 OVER in its L10, with the games producing 57.2 PPG. Versus other BCS conferences, the ACC has played in low scoring games, going 11-5 UNDER in the L16. Those games produced just 45.4 PPG.
The ACC has enjoyed bowl game success vs. the Big East (15-10 SU & 17-7-1 ATS), Big Ten (5-1 SU & ATS L6) and the Pac 10 (5-2 SU & 6-1 ATS L7). However, against the SEC, the ACC has been awful, 4-19 SU & 6-15-2 ATS (28%) since ?96.
MAC
Over the course of the last two seasons, MAC teams have allowed 41 PPG in eight different bowl games. Another five teams will take to the field this winter, looking to turn the tide for this once proud and successful conference. Two of the five teams are favored, with Central Michigan best expected to represent the league vs. Troy. Temple and Northern Illinois are squaring off against Pac 10 and Big East foes respectively, going up against a trend that has seen the MAC win just one of eight games vs. BCS conference opponents in bowl games.
The MAC endured a horrid bowl season in ?08, getting swept both SU & ATS in five games while being outscored 162-78.
Favorites in MAC bowl games have absolutely dominated, 22-2 SU & 19-5 ATS (79%), since ?01.
Since ?02, the MAC has been a bowl game underdog 12 times, going 0-12 SU & 2-10 ATS (17%) in the process.
The MAC has dropped seven of its L8 games outright against BCS-level conferences, and is 2-6 ATS (25%) in that span.
Incredibly, favored teams have won and covered the last 13 (100%) bowl games between MAC teams and other ?B-level? conferences (C-USA, Mtn. West, WAC).
The MAC typically plays to very high totals in bowl games. Since ?04, the average posted total has been 57.5 and 12 of the 19 games have gone UNDER (63%).
WAC
The WAC will send one less team to bowl games in ?09-10 than it did a year ago. Over the last two years, WAC teams have only won two of nine postseason games, so its somewhat surprising that three of the four teams from the league are favored in this year?s games. Of the four games involving WAC teams, three are against Conference USA or Mountain West opponents, and history shows that the underdog is the only way to go in such contests. All signs point to a shootout in Hawaii between Nevada & SMU as well.
The last two holiday seasons have been rough on WAC teams, as they were just 2-7 SU & 3-6 ATS in combined ?07 & ?08 bowl games.
The last decade has seen dogs dominate bowl games involving WAC teams, as the underdogs own a 16-19 SU & 23-12 ATS (66%) record since ?99.
Don?t play WAC teams as favorites, 7-8 SU & 4-11 ATS (27%), since ?99. They tend to give up a lot of points too in that role, 34.4 PPG, resulting in 11 OVER?s during that stretch.
WAC teams as double-digit dogs in bowl games have won just once outright, but are a perfect 5-0 ATS (100%).
The WAC holds its own when matched against BCS-conference opponents, 12-12 SU & 14-8 ATS (64%) since ?97, including 10-4 ATS (71%) as an underdog of a field goal or more.
The WAC competes frequently with Conference USA and the Mountain West in bowl games. When that happens, the underdog is the way to go, 14-2 ATS since ?99 (88%). Some of the highest scoring bowl games this decade have been WAC vs. C-USA matchups. In the L9 meetings, eight games have gone OVER the total producing 77.2 PPG on posted numbers averaging 64.4
