Down year for the SEC

So, i just saw this guys post on a different message board. It seems off. My understanding is that the individual bowls select teams at certain slots from the contracted conference. How the heck would the SEC control that? Anybody heard anything like this?

 



Quote:There's a reason that the SEC is so "dominant" in Bowl Games, and it's not necessarily because they fielded a better team amongst equals. The conference has direct control over which teams go to which bowls, and they are very selective about the matchups.


Looking down the list, almost every SEC team either had a better record going in, or had the home field advantage; sometimes both.


The lone exception is Alabama's matchup in the semi-final.


Belk Bowl - Miss State (9-3) v. N.C. State (7-5) Charlotte


Birmingham Bowl - Auburn (6-6) v. Memphis (9-3) Birmingham


Music City Bowl - Texas A&M (8-4) v. Louisville (7-5) Nashville


Texas Bowl - LSU (8(9)-3) v. Texas Tech (7-5) Houston


Outback Bowl - Tennessee (8-4) v. Northwestern (10-2) Tampa


Taxslayer Bowl - Georgia (9-3) v. Penn State (7-5) Jacksonville


Citrus Bowl - Florida (10-3) v. Michigan (9-3) Orlando


Liberty Bowl - Arkansas (7-5) v. Kansas State (6-6) Memphis


Sugar Bowl - Ole Miss (9-3) v. Oklahoma State (10-2) New Orleans


Cotton Bowl - Alabama (12-1) v. Michigan State (12-1) Dallas
