Their goal was to get every team bowl eligible :pound:

Over the last 2 weeks, Florida, South Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, and LSU all achieved Bowl Eligibility. They join Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Auburn, Arkansas, and Miss State.

Official, every SEC team but Vanderbilt is bowl eligible now.
 
This is kind of a joke thread because teams are choking to allow other teams to make bowl games:

1. Auburn against South Carolina
2. Florida State against Florida
3. Florida against Missouri
4. Texas A&M against LSU
 
Bama beats Georgia and the SEC gets 2 playoff teams plus all but Vandy in bowls.. solid year for the brand :beer2:
 
With regard to future SEC Members:

Oklahoma is bowling at 10-2

while

Texas is sitting in the "stay at home losers" section with Vanderbilt. I guess the Texas-Vandy memes are pretty on par.
 
Who says that extra OOC game vs Prairie View in week 10 or 11 is useless??
 
Uhh...wow. Okay.

That's a lot of 7-5 (or worse) teams. It's actually two-thirds of the whole conference.



So, congrats, I guess? :shrug:
 
Inb4 some edgy comment about UCF, AAC, fake Nat'l title, etc.
 
Texas
TCU
Illinois
Rutgers


Those are the 4 P5 programs from leagues who play 9 league games that finished 5-7 who all likely finish 6-6 with only 8 league games

Cal or USC will also fall into this category after next week

Well they didn't have teams like Auburn or Texas A&M that would choke to give them a 6th win.

Also to be fair, Illinois going 1-2 in OOC games cost them a bowl game.
 
Hell yeah. The SEC has had the formula for years.

I LMAO when I read this. If this doesn't say it is all about the money instead of football quality, I don't know what does.

Big 12 is setting up nicely

This is down in the section of winners.

"On Saturday, Oklahoma's six-year reign of dominance came to an end. Elsewhere, No. 24 Houston cemented its spot in the top 25 and could play spoiler against No. 4 Cincinnati in the AAC Championship Game next week. While the league will miss Oklahoma, the Big 12 instead adds the Bearcats, a projected playoff participant, in its place. Texas, conversely, missed just its fourth bowl game since 1998 as it suffered through their worst losing streak since 1956 under first-year head coach Steve Sarkisian. Even in a down season, UCF found its way to eight wins under its first-year coach Gus Malzahn.

While Oklahoma and Texas are still the only programs in the Big 12 to win multiple national championships, the top-to-bottom football quality of the new Big 12 suddenly seems to be in a strong position. With Baylor, Oklahoma State and Cincinnati on the precipice of locking up their highly-regarded coaches long term, the on-field future appears bright for the new league.

Granted, the $100 million question -- literally -- is how the broadcast networks see the Big 12 heading forward. There's no guarantee that power-brokers in the sport value winning football (shoutout to the Longhorns). However, the league having multiple apparent playoff contenders in the coming years at least gives the Big 12 a solid baseline."

To be fair, who did the current Big12 play OOC? I cannot think of one solid win for the Big12 OOC. For example, Pac12 had Oregon winning at Ohio State. SEC had Georgia beating Clemson. B1G had Iowa curbstomping Iowa State and Penn State beating Auburn. I cannot think of a big win from the Big12.

Did they even play any good OOC games? Iowa State lost to Iowa That's the only good one I can think of.
