A combination of small numbers and the importance of match-ups (for example, because the Pac-12 didn't have a CFP team or two NY6 teams, it was slotted into the normal order of bowls, and wound up in match-ups against teams that were slotted one bowl up from where they would have been), makes this cursory examination rather uninformative.

Totally agree. It is also difficult to compare teams that are structured for their conference opponents when they are matched up against a completely different type of team. The three top teams are so good that they match up well against anybody. Everybody else is in some way flawed, and if you play a team that can exploit your weak spot(s), anything is possible.
