The W-L records for conferences in bowls is still a thing they talk about a bunch, would prefer SEC be at the top. I think strength or perceived strength of the conference is still important and a reason why we are still ranked in the top 10.


The bowl WL no bearing on anything. They talk about it during bowl season and that’s it. The strength of the league during the season matters but even then Arkansas sucks and didn’t hurt. We are 10 based on our schedule this year not what happened in bowls last year.

I rarely pull for SEC teams in bowl games unless their win somehow helps LSU. Other than that, the SEC can f'ck off as far as I'm concerned.

Doesn’t matter, they didn’t win their division so would have zero shot at the playoffs regardless. If they had won the 2 games they lost, they would peobobe in but if they are concerned about SOS, rather than cheering for rivals they could improve their OCC schedule


They are on the outside looking in for an NY6 bowl and four 3 loss teams are ranked above them.

I’m not sure how anyone can argue against conference strength being a good thing.

Just say you will root against SEC teams because you don’t like them. I can actually accept that position just fine.

The rest of the conference can burn for all I care.

If anything, I'm more inclined to root against the SEC if anything. I find myself mostly indifferent otherwise.

The idea of conference solidarity has always been a bad joke.

Athe playoff sorta takes the whole needing to cheer for your conference out of play.

We’re strong enough that we’re not going to get left out if we win.

apples and oranges.

McDonald's perception doesn't improve if Wendy's has a good quarter or year.

If a conference kicks arse, the perception of all members of that conference improves. That leads to more positive exposure, higher rankings (ever notice how the top 25 is usually chock full of SEC teams), which leads to more money to each conference team from placing more teams in bigger bowls and having huge TV contracts. Not to mention attracting more elite recruits, who want to play in the best conference against the best teams.

I dislike both Saban & Fisher and want these 2 to lose every game they play! But I will pull for every other team in the SEC.

Maybe I'm just selfish, but I'd rather just have them all go to LSU as opposed to being spread throughout the conference.

Or worse, all attending a certain division rival...::cough:: Bama ::cough::

None of that has anything to do with the 2017-18 Bowl record of the Pac12

It doesn’t seem to hurting Clemson that the ACC blows as far as conference strength being a bad thing I would cite 2011

I have been pulling against Alabama in bowl games since the 1970's and will continue to do so. The people who chant "SEC, SEC" and all that shite are delusional if they think that Alabama's winning national championships every year helps LSU at all.

Now I have recently added two more teams to my list: Florida and aTm. I hate both of those trashy programs just as much as I do Alabama, and want them to lose every bowl game.
