miss st vs UCF -- could go either way (UCF beat Auburn, and many other reasons) bama vs colorado -- could go either way (Colorado beat Oklahoma, and many other reasons) tucky vs Fla st -- could go either way (FSU beat Bama, and many other reasons) auburn vs clemson -- could go either way (Auburn lost to UCF, and many other reasons) tenn vs wisc -- could go either way (Wisconsin has beat SEC schools the last two bowl games, and many other reasons) arkanas vs missouri -- could go either way (this is actually one of the more intriguing match-ups, but mizzou still has a great shot at winning) Fla vs mich -- could go either way (Michigan is more stacked than people realize, and many other reasons) georgia vs hawaii -- Georgia will beat the piss out of Hawaii (that Boise State beating Oklahoma really was the game of the century) LSU vs ohio st -- could go either way (both teams are stacked, OSU has more superstars, and many other reasons) Bottom line is that I have been hoping for years that SEC would dominate the bowl season, and I am disappointed year after year. Go do your research on the past SEC performance in bowls. I think the person who wants to bet you big money that the SEC only wins 4 straight-up has the edge on you. Take that big money bet and just bet your friend that Hawaii will not beat Georgia. I bet he won't take that bet, but if he does, that's your best bet.
Auburn didn't play UCF. Please, do tell. :rofl: You should've been watching last year, the SEC was 6-3. W Kentucky beat Clemson South Carolina beat Houston Georgia beat Virginia Tech Auburn beat Nebraska LSU beat Notre Dame Florida beat Ohio St. L Alabama lost to Oklahoma St. Tennessee lost to Penn St. Arkansas lost to Wisconsin Do we owe you any $$ for this ?? :wave:
I would hesitate to suggest that OSU has more superstars than LSU. What would make you say that? And what's with "and many other reasons" that you stated for why all of the SEC would probably lose?
Looking how the SEC has done in the past is the best way to look at it. Yes, the SEC was 6-3 in bowl games in 2006. Here's how they did before that: 2005 3-3 2004 6-3 2003 5-2 2002 3-4 2001 5-3 2000 4-5 1999 4-4 1998 4-4 1997 5-1 1996 5-0 1995 2-4 1994 3-2 1993 2-2 1992 5-1 1991 2-3 1990 2-2 1989 3-3 1988 3-2
I'm not saying that all of the SEC will probably lose. The issue we are discussing here is whether it is wise for this guy to bet big money ($4,000?) that the SEC will go 6-3 or better. I just think that it is a very risky bet. I wouldn't take it. But I do hope the SEC goes 9-0 in the bowls and beats every opponent by at least 5 TDs.
