Best conference against the spread (ignoring the independents). Shows how undervalued the B1G was. And the Big 12....just awful.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Yet even more possible bowl games for 2015:
More games set to be added to postseason bowl platter?
ESPN.com’s Brett McMurphy is reporting that the cities of Tucson and Little Rock are wanting a piece of the postseason pie, tweeting that both are expected to apply for new bowl games for the 2015 season. The proposed Tucson game would pit the Mountain West against Conference USA, while the Little Rock matchup would find the AAC squaring off with the Sun Belt.

In 2014, there were 84 teams — counting UAB, which disbanded its football program prior to the start of the postseason — who were bowl-eligible with at least six wins. That’s enough to fill the spots for 42 bowl games. The year before that, 82 schools reached the requisite six wins; in 2012, there were only 77 bowl-eligible teams, which means that there could very well be years where not enough teams reach six wins and bowls would have to take a look at 5-7 teams to fill all of the slots.
And, if you’re anti-bowl expansion, that’s enough to make your skin crawl. But wait, there’s more…
