SEC West pathetic record in bowl games this year

I almost started a thread on that very subject. I didn't cause it's too easy to shoot down since the SEC won almost everyone of those final matchups.

 

What has happened with the playoffs is what the college football world has wanted . Away to keep the SEC out , I would like to see the SEC break away , we do not need the other teams , . The SEC teams seem bored with the bowl games , no fire . After all what is a buckeye ?? A worthless nut . Who wants to play a duck ?? I have seen a lot of lovely ladies who are cuter than a pond full of baby ducks , Media bias , what is that . Networks are where ?? Where are the guys from who come down south to tell us what we see on TV ?? Take the Music Bowl, right at the end of the 1st half . The LSU TD , wow it was not a TD . That was the difference in the ballgame Thank you !

 

That's why I said THIS bowl season. One year is nothing more than a data point, it's not even directional. But it's a severe digression from the past several years and SEC defenses seem to have gone into hiding. It's a starting point for discussion.

The best teams weren't always matched up or even in certain games was the point. Ohio St has lost both BCS NC games they've been in. Oklahoma got the gift in 2009, Notre Dame in 2012? Seriously? Worst game ever IMO. Even in 2011, I could make an argument for Okie St over Alabama. In 2003, USC should have been playing LSU. Oklahoma had no business in that game.

 

Like I said, easier to do when the matchups suck. However, I was careful to say that people outside the conference, not just me BTW, see it that way and what happened this bowl season helps them in the argument. We are out of the BCS system for one year and already the SEC looks mortal. There may be no correlation but it may turn out to be a significant direction going forward.

 

When the SEC beats these teams in the bowl games, it is proof of dominance. When teams in the SEC lose the bowl games, they are bored and the games don't matter.

The backlash that's happening today is because of people like you and it's well deserved...

 

I concur. And it's not only people outside of the conference who feel that way, many SEC fans too.

 

The SECE is about to become 4 & 0 in bowl games.

 

When it comes to bowl pairings, shittier teams play shittier teams. At least in theory.

 

True enough. Georgia looked decent against #21 Loiusville but Missouri beat an 8-5 (5-3 in conference) 25th ranked Minnesota, Tennessee beat an unranked Iowa (4-4 in conference), and Sakerlina beat a 6-7 Miami.

Tennessee and Georgia are sitting on outstanding recruiting classes this year.

 

If that's true, and I don't think it is, then that's their own fault. How could Bama have been bored last night when they're playing for a National Championship, the first one actually to be decided on the field? Maybe they believed their own hype and let down a bit after they went up 21-6, but again, it's their own fault for doing so, if that's what happened.
