The harsh reality is this:
With the Cotton and Peach becoming major bowls now, if you aren't in the top 3 of the SEC, your bowl is going to suck major arse.
From what I gather, Georgia, Texas A&M, and LSU all aren't happy with their destination/opponent combo, whether the destination, the opponent, the time slot, or all of the above.
South Carolina and Florida have to go to Shreveport and Birmingham, respectively. I really doubt many people travel to those games.
Auburn might be happy with theirs? Idk though. Going to Florida over and over again for these big name SEC programs is getting kind of dull.
Basically, Missouri, Tennessee, and Arkansas are probably the only three I would guess that are thrilled with their bowl games (besides Alabama, Ole Miss, and State). And Tennessee is only because they never make a bowl anymore, and Missouri is because they're new to the conference and its bowl tie-ins and locations.
It pretty much sucks. Hopefully some new tie-ins are in the future. And yes, I know if LSU or the other teams were better they wouldn't have to worry about this. However, the SEC is deep, and it's hard to be in the top 3 every year. For some schools, it's hard to be in the top 3 every fifth year.
Just tired of shitty bowl games, in general. Maybe this is a small melt? Yeah, I'm fine with that.

Keep gathering, because you’re wrong. Best case in a shitty scenario. I’d recommend Surveymonkey.com in your pursuit of a morale survey
