All things considered, its more likely, statistically speaking, to make 5 bowls in a row than it is to win 1 conference championship.
To win five championships in a row, 0.0004%.
The weird thing is, its about 25x more likely that we would have won at least one conference championship in 5 years than to win 5 straight bowls.
So why haven't we?
