SEC Bowls / Past 10 years to present.

[instaGATOR]

2016 12 SEC Teams in Bowls, 6 SECw and 6 teams from the weak SECe.
Ole Miss - SECw and Missouri - SECe missed out on bowls.

Having been there back in the day, this was not a bad season imo...

 

[instaGATOR]

The only SEC team with a bowl win in the first 5 is the one with a losing record, MsSt.
I'm updating the bowl scores in the 1st post.

 

[Gator Fever]

It looks like Georgia wants some of this action also possibly. Its crazy how Georgia has no rush offense this season. Not sure if the issue is young O linemen or what there. They had the same RBs for the most part.

 

[hardliner]

No idea what this post is about but the sec is plain bad now and the coaching is where the acc was about 10 years ago.

 

[instaGATOR]

The Dawg running game woke up in the 2nd half.
Note: Both of their RB's will be returning to school for 2017,,, yikes!

9-2 last year in bowls but suck this year. One season does not make a trend.

And while certainly not the usual 'kick-azz' year for the SEC, it's not like the conference totally sucks. Between injuries and parity (excluding $Bama$), the SEC is still not to bad, considering who they've won against so far:

W 12-23 - 5-7 MsSt 17 - 16 Miami-Ohio 6-6

W 12-30 - 8-4 Tenn 38 - 24 Neb 9-3 (8-4 vs 9-3)
W 12-30 - 7-5 UGA 31 - 23 TCU 6-6
W 12-31 - 7-4 LSU 29 - 9 UL 9-3 (7-4 vs 9-3)

-----------
W #1 13-0 UA 24 - 7 Wash #4 12-1

 

[instaGATOR]

The SEC is sitting at 6-6 going into the Playoff Final.

(see bowl scores in the 1st post to this thread)

 

[instaGATOR]

If UA beats Clemp's-son again, the SEC will have a 7-6 Bowl record.
And that's with 7 of the bowl games with the SEC team with a worse W/L record coming into the bowl game.
=============

The Top 3 Teams in the 'weak' SECe went 3-0:

8-4 UF 30-3 Iowa 8-4 (-27)

8-4 Tn 38 - 24 Neb 9-3 (-14)

7-5 UGa 31 - 23 TCU 6-6 (-8)

The Top 3 Teams in the 'strong' SEC-s went 2-1

13-0 UA 24 - 7 Wash 12-1 (-17)

8-4 AU 19 - 35 Ok 10-2 (+16)

7-5 LSU 29 - 9 UL 9-3 (-20)

Sec has been slipping the past 3 yrs. Look at sec vs acc rivalry week. Sec use to own that

Sec was 9-2 In bowls last year

 

[fsu939913]

Sec was 9-2 In bowls last year

What were they in the season vs power 5 teams? I dont know jus seems the last 3 yrs the sec has been slipping

 

[instaGATOR]

What were they in the season vs power 5 teams? I dont know jus seems the last 3 yrs the sec has been slipping

Yeah, and that's why they put more teams in bowl games every year, (12 in 2016)

And it must also be why they set the NCAA All Time Record for bowl wins in a single season just last year, with 9 Bowl wins out of their 11 bowl teams.

And it must also be why they haven't won a single NC in the last 14 years either...

 

[46885]

it just seems like the SEC is slipping because they can't beat everyone by 100 every year and everyone wants to believe they are... no one wants to admit it but the nation makes this SEC thing a thing more than SEC teams fans... in all reality at this point the nation is forcing the hand of SEC teams fans to want the conference to shut you all the f*** up about football

 

[instaGATOR]

And of course, the NFL never drafts any players that have been trained and tried while playing against all of the other 'weak' SEC teams....

You know, something else has occurred to me lately about UA and the SEC being 'ruined' by the tides latest domination of the league and NC.

Did UF/Spurrier also ruin the SEC when they dominated during the 1990's?

Did FSU/Bowden also ruin the All Cupcake Confernce by joining and owning the ACC-C for a decade plus?

Did tOSU and Mich ruin the Big Ten back in the day, when they virtually owned the 10?

Did USC ruin the LAC-10 when they owned it back in the day?

Anyone wants to unseat Bama, all they have to do is out recruit them, out coach them, and out play them on the field. Simple formula and it ain't changed in forever...

 

[46885]

hard to out money a team that pays their strength coach more than most teams head coaches

 

[instaGATOR]

Yep, Alabama and Forrest Gump have a total monopoly on all of the available money in the world. It's that nation leading state population and it being the leader in all business, trade, ect. that's given them that insurmountable $$ advantage. Those world wide Catholics that have pumped vast amounts of money into the neutered lame for a century+ never had a chance...

 

[Countygator]

What . re they in the season vs power 5 teams? I dont know jus seems the last 3 yrs the sec has been slipping

Not good this year but 1 season does not make a trend. But bama is killing the conference.

 

[instaGATOR]

The bottom of the SEC was not quite as good maybe, but except for Bama right now, there is more parity among the other SEC teams that there's been in quite a while imo.

However, the Top 3 teams in each division went 5-1 in their bowl games, with 8-4 AU being the only loser, and they played 10-2 Okla.

 

[fsu939913]

Last 14 yrs they have been DOMINATE. I said the last 3 they have been slipping it seems. What was their record vs the ACC on SEC ACC rivalry week the last 3 yrs vs the 3 yrs before. Not saying they havent been the best conference because they have far and away but they have been slipping the last 3 and this year they definitely were not the top conference. Bowl wins and losses is not how i determine what conference is better. I look at the totality of the season.

Absolutely not. At every SEC vs any other conference. There are SEC SEC SEC chants.

Its Bama and then everyone else. There is definitely parity but not because everyone is good. I mean, its the 1st time in the last decade or so that the SEC has not been dominate. There is no shame in that

I agree 1 season does not make a trend at all. All i was saying is that you could see the slip start to happen the last 3 but this is the first yr where u could tell the SEC wasnt the best. The last 2 you could still make a case.

 

[46885]

yea and they happen regardless of which team wins from another conference

2015 - The SEC set an NCAA record with 9 Winning Bowl teams.

2016 - They certainly fell off the edge of the earth, with only 12 of 14 teams in bowls.

The Top 3 Teams in the 'weak' SECe went 3-0:

W 8-4 UF 30-3 Iowa 8-4 (-27)

W 8-4 Tn 38 - 24 Neb 9-3 (-14)

W 7-5 UGa 31 - 23 TCU 6-6 (-8)

The Top 3 Teams in the 'strong' SEC-s went 2-1

W 13-0 UA 24 - 7 Wash 12-1 (-17)

L 8-4 AU 19 - 35 Ok 10-2 (+16)

W 7-5 LSU 29 - 9 UL 9-3 (-20) -- (UL 63 - 20 FSUcks -- -43)

With 4 of those 5 SEC bowl wins being by double-digits.

U have a knack of not answering the question when u dont like the answer. Typical Nole fan response. Ur better than that. What was the record vs the acc in the acc vs sec rivalry week the last 3 yrs compared to the previous 10.

Not saying they werent the best the past 2 yrs but u could see the decline. I dont really care about only bowl records which is what u keep alluding too

 

[instaGATOR]

don't know, care even less,,, zzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[fsu939913]

The facts hurt dont they. Its funny whenever ur narrative doesnt fit, u always deflect. U sure ur not a Nole fan?

it happens all the time, did you hear the VT fans?

No nearly that bad. The ACC as a whole is better now than it was then. But not by a bunch. There is no way it could be worse.

Believe what you will the coaching in the ACC is better than the sec. Jimbo, Dabo, Patrino, Fuente, Fedora, Richt, Cutcliffe are better than anyone not named Saban.

Not saying I disagree, but keep in mind richt and cutcliffe are sec rejects

 

[Countygator]

And dabo is 1 qb away from being the same average coach he was prior to last year.

And I just got you to defend the bowl cut head coach of your "biggest rival" because of muh sec pride.

Pretty sure they went to the Orange Bowl and beat Meyer a couple years ago. Average, right.

Before Watson what was his record against the gamecocks?

 

[fsu939913]

Yes. No other conference did it until the SEC did for 7 or 8 yrs tho lol its not a bad thing but it is true. Sec is all about and has always been about conference pride. Listen to the coaches and players and media, its worked out well for them tho. Look at the tv deal they got
