Man the SEC Sucks

I wouldn't put too much stock in bowl game peformances. If you're not in the CFP then the games are basically exhibitions. There hasn't been any solid trend on how a bowl performance translates to the next year's season.

Remember Texas won the Sugar Bowl about 4 years ago and declared they were "back"? Yeah.....

And in 2008 Utah whipped Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and Alabama won the NC the next season.

I think it means something to a program like Clemson that is still using the 'family' thing as a key element of their recruiting. On the other side, this is Vols' chance to land a haymaker on Dabo and start taking back control of the top of the board for Appalachian high school kids. Yeah. Orange Bowl means a lot in terms of the future for both programs.

Milton is not the #1 problem, it's the defense. Clemson has changed QB's from a JG type clone to someone competent plus Banks is apparently not playing. That's the real issue.

Agree. I think the offense will be fine, despite some atomic bomb throws by Milton. Our defense however, I'm legit worried.

I've watched many of the bowls because I like football but not because the games have much weight in my opinion about the teams playing.

Almost everyone is playing with a key player missing. Still, there have been some good games, nice plays, and it's been a decent way to lounge around during the holidays.

I watched the Titans tonight and thought the same thing. I hoped Dobbs would bail out but it was obvious the Titans were resting guys, letting guys heal up, etc. Still, it was football and an excuse to raise a glass or two. Who wouldn't be happy doing that?

I understand your opinion about bowl games being exhibitions, but I really hate that people keep saying it that way. It reminds me of when Hillary Clinton made reference to primary elections by saying there are no rules, merely traditions. These reflect on our program historically, and many people like myself enjoy the meaning of these games.

I like bowl games, but she was right. A bunch of geriatrics in Iowa and New Hampshire shouldn’t pick a candidate.

The problem is that there isn't many good SEC teams. Just 3 so far (Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee). The rest of the teams have looked like trash. Jury is still out with LSUwho.

First of all, if you didn't already know that, then you weren't paying attention during the regular season. Secondly, that isn't a problem. It's a good thing. These are teams that we're recruiting against.

It isn't a great thing when considering strength of conference because it is 3 teams and 11 dwarves. Shows the league has no depth. To be truthful, that has been the situation for some time.
