Plenty to be learned from bowl season

Most impressive conference: SEC
Not only did the SEC claim the national title among its two BCS bowl wins, it won only one fewer bowl game than the Big Ten, Big East and ACC combined. The SEC’s only losses came to Orange Bowl-snub Missouri (ranked fourth to finish the season) and Michigan (ranked 18th). The most convincing wins for the SEC came in the BCS, when LSU and Georgia beat one-loss Ohio State and undefeated Hawaii, respectively, by a combined 45 points.
