Ya'll got blown out in one of your losses, and they went to a better bowl game.

They had two of their three most difficult games at home.

ETA: And they didn't have their three toughest games in consecutive weeks.

It wasn't your typical blowout though. Florida's offense was given very short fields early in the ball game. Florida forced those fumbles but don't act like you destroyed us when you only won the 2 biggest stats, i.e. score and turnover margin.

Additionally, the bowls pick the teams, so let's leave that little point aside.

Furthermore, South Carolina blew out the SEC East Champion 35-7. This was the same SEC East Champion that took Alabama down to the wire.

Also, Florida and LSU did not have the offense to beat Texas A&M by several touchdowns last year which means that the only way either of you could have scored big was via huge defensive and Special Team Plays which obviously didn't occur.

Let's just say that South Carolina's blowout win at home over Georgia and blowout loss at Florida cancel each other out. All you're left with is a loss at LSU. Let's do something similar A&M. Their 5 point win over Alabama is canceled out by their 5 point loss to LSU. All they've gotten is a loss to Florida. Now compare. With that in mind, which season was better?
