Texas vs Michigan is the first bowl game this year where the SEC team and the team they are playing against have the same rank in their conference (both Michigan and Texas are ranked 5th in their respective conferences).
In every other game the SEC team was ranked lower in the SEC than their bowl opponent was ranked in their conference.
That trend holds through the upcoming playoff games. UGA/OM is SEC vs SEC. Bama is ranked 2nd in the SEC while Indiana is 1st in the Big 10.

Good point. It also sucks to have SEC vs SEC yet again this early in the playoffs, AND another SEC rematch (Bama-Oklahoma). I know it's from seeding, but come on man.

I made this point a couple days ago. LSU was 10th in the SEC, down the majority of its defense, and only lost by 3 to the 4th place Big 12 team. The downfall of the SEC is being completely overstated.
