The SEC has a built advantage with getting fans to the games in that so many of the bowls are close to their schools. Having more fans at these games gives them some advantage in the games too.

There is no way around it but northern teams having to go south (or west) doesn't help their bowl records. Part of the Big Ten's poor bowl record over the years must reflect that.

Of course the SEC has teams with fan support that should be admired. Getting 70,000 plus to their home games is fantastic. The BE can hope to achieve that some day.

Life ain't fair. Neither is college football.

Arkansas was in shambles after losing their entire coaching staff. However, they weren't a bad or undeserving team. After all, they beat LSU this year.

Yeah, maybe so… but my point about Broyles was still 100% valid

Kentucky also beat LSU.

That's going to be my response everytime you guys complain about the BCS and non-BCS.

Yes. They're the bestest conference ever in the history of sports. They're so good, no one even comes in second! Haven't you heard?

7-2 in bowl games this year and the National Championship. Not too bad.

It's pretty funny seeing a Memphis fan bragging about the SEC! J/K
