re: Bowl History of SEC Teams

I'm guessing this is at least partly because playing in the SEC artificially deflates your win totals and you end up playing teams that are beneath you.

Not really. In the 2010 Cotton Bowl we were unranked (8-4) and upset a ranked Okie State team. In the 2009 Cotton we were ranked 25th and upset 7th-ranked Texas Tech. In the 2004 Cotton we and Les Miles' Okie State had identical 9-3 records; we ranked 19 and they were 21. For some reason Ole Miss just seems to focus and do well in bowls.
