You’re making my point for me dude, if the sec schools didn’t care nor did the schools that beat them!!! Even playing field and most sec schools lost their bowl games, I know this is difficult for you.I know simple logic is hard to keep up with. You said it must not equate to wins and to see conference bowl records. Bowl games other than the playoff are of lesser importance to teams, especially players with NFL aspirations. You think the conference gives a rats ass who won the Duke’s mayonnaise bowl? You think a kid that has a chance to make life changing money cares to play in a game like that? Players do care about winning a national title but that’s about all most of the time.
Must not equate to winning on the field, did you see the bowl wins and losses by conference?
And it hits us worse than anyone. We're the only program in the country that plays both of these schools every yr. It kinda sucks
Everyone can make excuses but the fact is the SEC laid an egg in their bowl games this year.Well, we know
1) one team got cheated
2) lost their QB early in game
3) one had 38 players
4) one had a coach more focused on a personal grudge
5) one had their best player sit out
6) one was Florida Gators.
It's not good for the sport to have so much concentration of talent in one regional conference. Probably doesn't matter anyway, because cfb will probably soon become a professional minor league with a draft, salary caps, etc. As currently structured, the whole thing is devolving into a corrupt casino with a progressively worse quality of play and officiating. I don't see how the university system can maintain the charade that this has anything to do with education.
By design the SEC was at a disadvantage in matchups since they had 2 teams in the playoff. That meant two fewer teams to slot in automatic bids, thus Ole Miss was slotted against the Big 12 Champion. This had a ripple effect on down the line in many other bowls such as Outback, Citrus etcA 6-8 record is hardly cause for excitement especially when 3 of those 6 wins came from alabama and Georgia.
What would be cause for excitement? Maybe the conference being in the title game year in and out for the last two decades? How many people have to tell you nicely that you’re wrong before you understand? Talent wins championships, talent equals wins in the win/loss column. No one really cares about anything else.A 6-8 record is hardly cause for excitement especially when 3 of those 6 wins came from alabama and Georgia.
