The New Year's Day bowl games are over, and four SEC teams are waiting to play: Florida, Ole Miss, the Aggies, and Alabama. Nine of the 12 teams in the SEC made it to bowl games, and the record so far is 3-2. Georgia, South Carolina and Vanderbilt were winners, and Mississippi State lost today to Northwestern. Last night, LSU lost by one point (25-24) when Clemson kicked a field goal as time ran out.
In the conference the Aggies left behind, the Big Whatever, nine of the ten members were invited to bowls, with only Kansas missing out. The top dogs, Oklahoma and Kansas State, still have games to play, and the conference has posted a 4-3 record so far. The winners: Oklahoma State, Baylor, Texas Tech, and the longhorns. The losers: Iowa State and new members TCU and West Virginia.
I'm pulling for all four SEC teams to win in their remaining games, and want Oregon to whip KSU. The SEC bowl record would be 7-2 with Bama repeating as national champs, compared to the Big Whatever's mediocre 4-5 finish. That sounds about right to me.
Added 11:14 PM, Wednesday 2 January: My best case scenario is headed down the dumper. Fortunately I wasn't watching tonight as Louisville upset Florida 33-23 in the Sugar Bowl.
Added 11:08 PM, Thursday 3 January: My plans to watch a bunch of bowl games haven't worked out, but I saw the Fiesta Bowl tonight. Oregon handled Kansas State pretty easily (35-17). I can visualize JFH playing quarterback in the Oregon offense.
Added 12:28 AM, Saturday 5 January: The two best teams in the Big Whatever conference were smeared by Oregon and Texas A&M. Maybe they should be called the Big WTF?
And roll, Tide.
