LAWRENCE: CONFERENCE USA LOVES TO GO BOWLING

This Is How We Bowl

The Conference-USA sent six programs to play in bowl games last year. The conference finished the 2018 bowl season with a 4-2 record. The .667 winning percentage was the best among all FBS conferences, the fourth time in eight years that Conference USA has posted the best bowl winning percentage among all leagues. In addition, the Conference-USA is 30-18 SU and 28-19-1 ATS in bowl games since 2011. Its .625 mark leads the Group of Five in bowl win percentage over that span. And never one to back off a tough opponent during the regular season, a total of 22 games are scheduled in 2019 against teams that played in a bowl game last season.
