How good were the teams in conference play over the last five years? In the 2020 CFN Five-Year Program Analysis, how well did all the teams do in their respective conferences?

Of course everyone wants to win the big national games, but to a whole lot of fans, winning the conference games on a weekly basis means even more.
How good have the teams been when league play gets going? 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.
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.
