Which conference performed the best in college bowl games? Here are the records
The college football season is coming to a close with the national championship scheduled for January 9 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Since the College Football Playoff began in the 2014-15 season, five of the eight national champions have come from the Southeastern Conference.
Defending champion Georgia is aiming to repeat and continue the SEC’s national title dominance, while TCU looks to become the first Big 12 school to win a national title in the CFP era.
The Horned Frogs last won a national championship in 1938.
That game concludes the competitive bowl season, with all-star games taking place through February.
