SEC is the only conference that is demonstrably better than the Pac-12.  They finished 6-2, 75% bowl win rate with two more wins than any other conference.

The Mountain West conference won four bowls against two losses for a 67% win rate.  Had a big loss to Washington, none of their other teams were ranked.  Some very minor bowls.  Notre Dame won, Liberty won for a 67% win rate for the independents.  Yeehah.

Big 10, with its slew of six ranked teams was 4-4 and 1-2 against the Pac 12.  

ACC was 4-5.  Yes, they have Clemson.  their other two ranked teams were 1-1.

The rest of the conferences were demonstrably less than the Pac-12.  We didn't do all that badly.

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.
