re: The 7th/8th best SEC team is a touchdown underdog vs. the 4th/5th best ACC team

This is not a troll thread against any particular team. The SEC has a decent number of underdogs this bowl season.

Does this seem hard to believe to anyone else? Not that Virginia Tech is favored against Arkansas, but that the SEC has fallen off this much seemingly so quickly. It's hard to believe this scenario occurring 3-4 years ago.

To be honest a lot of SEC teams played fairly crappy football this year and the bowl match ups were not kind.

Arkansas, for example, is going against a team that does exactly what we are terrible at stopping and its practically a home game for V. Tech. Its a horrible match up for us.

I think the conference will bounce back but the days of winning just because you are from the SEC are over I think. Hopefully SC and Arkansas both pull off wins today and get the conference back on track.
