Track which conferences win the 2025-26 college football season

College football bowl season is here. With dozens of bowl games and the 12-team College Football Playoff, we’re tracking every game to see which conference has the best bowling record.

This article will be updated throughout the bowling season. Conference representatives are in bold.
NOTE: Some conferences have more bowl games than bowl teams because the CFP allows teams to play more than one bowl game.
