let's face it, the SEC dominates the BCS bowls. However, the statistics don't even come close to telling the real story. A 2, sometimes 3, loss SEC team is on average still better than 75% of the top 10. Bottom line, SEC glory is rewarded, but not nearly enough.
The SEC is brutal. Coming out of it with 1 or 2 loses is like running the table in other conferences. Don't agree? Look at the games. Now, shut the hell up as we go forward...
So, outside of the conference championship game, the 2nd banana in the SEC is usually not properly rewarded come Bowl time. Which, in most years would be a rematch with the conference winner for a national title.
But, they already played and the other team won, they don't deserve to move on any further....Oh, I'm sorry, do we have a playoff system? No. Well then how in the hell does that make sense to say? It doesn't. Everybody always says, 'well, they got beat early in the season, they are a different team now, and look what they have done since then..." I guess that is as sound as an argument as you can get without a playoff in place, but that logic is seldom applied correctly, and even less so in the case of an SEC team.
I know, I know, it's well known and the SEC is widely regarded as the King of College Football, so why even cry about this situation, odds are, an SEC school will always play for the national title and they will dominate the other BCS games they are invited to.
But dang it we want more! TOTAL DOMINATION.
Now, the BCS may be giving it to us. The ever-knowing and vast collective intelligence known as the BCS committee is considering lifting it's sanctions that a conference can only get two teams into the BCS. Which long story short, means that the SEC presence in such games will not be denied, and in some years, yes, an All-SEC national title game could happen. Justice.
