I was also more than a bit bored at work with the holiday slow down, so I took a look at conference performance and the net rankings. I pulled the schedules from the teams official pages via a script and did a lookup against the NET Rankings. I did this pretty quickly so take these numbers with a grain of salt. They don't mean much, but I found them interesting.
Note: I removed all non-D1 and exhibition games as those teams / games are not listed in the NET rankings.
