re: McElroy’s take on SEC bowl games

I think Georgia and Alabama are the most likely to lose. As long as the SECCG loser is sentenced to the Sugar Bowl against inspired opposition, they will lose. Baylor will probably blow out this Georgia team that would rather stay on the porch and lick its wounds.

And Alabama? How can anyone, even Saban, motivate the dethroned royalty of college football to get excited about playing in the Citrus Bowl? Such a big step down from the throne room.

I hope I’m wrong because both the Bigs 12 and 10 will scream parity with the SEC if their bowl reps beat our uninspired ones, as the Big 12 did last year and even the Mountain West did when Utah beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
