Points Allowed in Bowl Games

Texas is now 2-0 when I root for them in bowl games. 'nuff about that. With 32 games played, here are the average points per game scored by each conference.

Independent - 34
Big 12 - 31.2
Pac 10 - 27.6
Mountain West - 27.4
Conf USA - 27.0
Sun Belt - 25.5
SEC - 25.3
WAC - 24.8
Big East - 24.3
ACC - 24.1
Big 10 - 20.7
MAC - 16.3

There were two independents in bowl games, and two teams from the Sun Belt conference. All other conferences had at least 4 representatives.

In a shocking development, the Big 12 averaged more points per game than the other conferences.

Defensively, it went like this:

Big East - 18.3
Pac 10 - 18.6
SEC - 20.6
ACC - 23.8
Independent - 25.0
Sun Belt - 25.5
Mountain West - 26.6
CUSA - 27.0
Big 12 - 29.2
MAC - 29.3
Big 10 - 30.0

Defensively, the Big 12 is near the bottom, but is in better shape - so far - than the MAC and the Big 10.
