As someone posted on another thread no team with a record of 7-5 or better should sit at home while 6-6 teams go to bowls.
It is bad enough when every team in the P5 with a pulse gets an invite, but when teams with better records than conference mates sit at home, it is truly a farce.
Apparently, the only way for WKU to get a bid is to win the conference title outright. Sitting at home twice in a three year period while teams with worse records go to bowl games is ridiculous.

If that situation did happen (it won't), it wouldn't be because of the SBC. It would be proximity of ULM to the bowl. At this point, the two SBC-tied bowls are full, the conference has little control on the at-large. The bowls are going to make decisions based on financial projections.
