re: Let's talk about the SEC's inflated bowl record

Ole Miss, Tennessee and LSU may very well have beaten Oklahoma, Michigan State and Notre Dame had they been paired against those higher ranked teams

And those games would have been much better to watch. Michigan State got brutalized in the second half. I think it shows that Bama was head and shoulders better. The depth they have on the defensive line is ridiculous. But Clemson offers something that Sparty doesn't. An athletic quarterback. He at least brings a different look to Alabama. He's having a Jameis Winston type season from 2013. But Watson is much more mobile than Winston. I think Ole Miss/Michigan State or Ole Miss/Ohio State would have been good. Or Ole Miss/Notre Dame. I hate the auto tie-ins. And to those who claimed the Big Ten was terrible, I think most are happy with a .500 record in that conference. From where they were three years ago, that's light years ahead.
