re: Worst beatdown you have seen the SEC administer in a bowl game?

Again, if you're arguing most significant blowout in terms of impact on the national CFB landscape, yes, I'd agree. But the worst physical beatdown has got to be that Cincy game, it was just ridiculous.

The way I see it, if you match the Pittsburgh Steelers against Appalachian State, you're going to witness a much worse beatdown than if they played the Vikings. It's semantics.
