Yeah, winning on the big national stage is a big deal, but for a lot of fans, coming up with the big victories in conference play means even more.

How good have the teams been when the league lights are on? Come up with a good conference season, and the world is okay. Struggle against the familiar family members, and there’s a problem.

For the independents-like Notre Dame, BYU and Army-the overall record is counted like a conference record, and some programs switched conferences and levels over the last five years.

The league championship games aren’t a part of this-regular season conference records only-with the winning percentage the element of the Five-Year Program Analysis.
