I used to keep track of big east bowl records and even rooted for Rich Rod and West Virginia in bcs games thinking it would strengthen the national perception of the conference.  It never mattered.

If the ACC, in this case Miami wins a game it is because of the long layover or if an Big18/SEC team loses a bowl game it is because it did not matter to them.  If they win it speaks to our superior the conference is compared to other leagues.  It never matters how any other league performs.  Even if Clemson/FSU/Miami wins the story is well that is the only good team in the ACC.  No one ever says well Georgia/LSU/Georgia are the only good teams in the SEC or Indiana/Ohio State are the only good team in the Big18. Ohio State played two good teams this year and lost to them both.

The talking heads say over and over again how much superior the SEC and Big 18 are and it always goes from opinion to fact. I have always believed that the weak teams in every conference are weak and the good teams are good regardless  of conference affiliation.
