More SEC football

This has been a couple of days of some exciting games. The SEC really did well (until last night anyway).

South Carolina - oh well, they got to a bowl

Ole Miss - Love the upset and what a great game to watch

Kentucky - Another great game to watch, East Carolina was evenly matched in this game of knees.

Alabama - Wow, where did the Utes come from? I really didn't expect this outcome and am always glad to see another BCS shake up. Leave it to the 'bamers to make a mess of it all. The Utes will go down as number 2 but will have the legitamate argument to number 1. An all to familiar yearly BCS argument ritual.

SEC in bowls:
12 teams total
8 teams went to bowls
5 wins (LSU, Ole Miss, Georgia, Kentucky, Vandy)
2 losses (Alabama, South Carolina)
1 left to play for the National Championship (Florida)

Impressive!

To bad the national championship wasn't tonight. Spreading these bowls out all over just doesn't do a whole lot for the sport in my opinion. I know we have another BCS bowl to go (go Longhorns) and their is the NFL to contend with but come on schedulers. I want my college football to end with the holidays...

But they will argue otherwise. Same argument ala BCS. Shame. Maybe to many "bowls" now days. I personally did not think LSU should go to a bowl. In the Charlie Mac days, LSU went 8-3 and did not go to any bowl.
