The interactive chart needs JavaScript. The numbers are on the chart's page.
In the season that ended in January 2026, the Big Ten won 74.1% of its games against FBS teams from other conferences, bowls included, ahead of the SEC at 72.9% and the Big 12 at 66.7%. The Mid-American won the fewest, 15.9%. Games against lower-division (FCS) teams don't count, independents such as Notre Dame aren't a conference, and conferences with fewer than 6 FBS teams that season, such as the Pac-12 in 2024 and 2025, are left out.

How to read this chart
Each bar is the share of a country's people who used the internet in the previous three months. The dashed line is the whole world. The chart opens on the top and bottom of the ranking; search for a country to find its bar among the rest.
Questions to discuss
- Find the United States and one country on another continent. How far apart are their shares?
- What do the countries at the bottom of the ranking have in common? What might keep people there offline?
- The world figure is closer to the bottom than many rich countries are to the top. Why might that be?
