About to go 0-3 after Ohio State stomps Misery tonight

Feel good about Georgia over FSU, but all others are toss-ups

I heard in the Kentucky clem game while clem was trailing that underdogs have won 17 bowl games so far. Sounds like players dont care so I wouldn't take much from bowl season these days.

Kentucky beat Louisville, in Louisville.

You remember them? They made it to the ACC Championship Game.

Two unranked SEC teams losing to two ranked teams of other conferences (one of which at the last second) doesn't necessarily drive this point home quite as hard as you think it does...

Bowl games never meant much to begin with, and mean even less nowadays with half of teams' players not playing in the games. The only bowl games anyone cares about are the CFP games.

Bowl games meant a ton pre-BCS. Teams were uber excited to play in games like the Outback, Citrus, Cotton, etc. Opt-outs weren't even a dream. There was actually drama finding out where you would go, even if you had zero chance at a natty or even top 10. I miss those days.

You cannot confirm anything with bowl games any more. They are useless for getting a true picture of any team.

Same old story, Bama and UGA having to carry the conference, once again.

Why does everyone get so defensive over this? The SEC was pretty horrible in regular season OOC games and isn't having a great showing in bowl games. What exactly would it take for the SEC to be down?

This just proves that the SEC needs Arkansas to be good again.

Oklahoma State (who was in Big12 Championship I believe) beats 7th place in SEC A&M who had 2 starters playing and lost the backup/starting QB on the first play. And it was a one score game. Not exactly something to beat your chest about.

Clemson (4th best team by record in ACC) beats Kentucky (8th in SEC). Incredible.

Almost every game is a lower conference ranked team for the sec vs a higher ranked one in the other. C'mon now

Arkansas being good again would be amazing for the league. You guys and South Carolina fans (when you're good) are amazing lifebread to the conference

The SEC haters don’t care. They just see an SEC team losing and they love it and run with it.

So what? The regular season doesn’t matter to the College Football Invitational committee.

Bama fans should be well aware of this.
