Second time I've seen this mentioned. Why are SEC fans so proud of the Outback, Peach, and Citrus bowls just because they fall on Jan 1? The Fiesta and Orange bowls fall on New Year's Eve and neither feature an SEC team. Neither does the Cotton Bowl on Dec 29.

Two SEC teams in the playoff is impressive, but after that you're kind of reaching.

To be fair, the Peach Bowl is a NY6 bowl now.

Don't hate us because you ain't us.

No one likes a little bitch.

These don't quite match the prestige of the Camping World Bowl which the second best Big XII team goes to.

You're not wrong - Years ago, it was a prestige thing to play on NYD, the Outback/Peach/Citrus are meh bowls even though they're NYD bowls.

Interesting, I thought the 2nd best team went to the Alamo Bowl.

Big 10 tied the SEC on NY6 appearances. SEC wins the tie-breaker for having 2 of those teams in the CFP. Beat your chest about that.

Bragging about having a lot of bowl games on Jan 1 is just strange.

So is an Oklahoma fan on an SEC message board, but different strokes for different folks I guess
