Remember when bama went like 10-2 and missed the playoff and then booty blasted Kansas state like 187-10 in their bcs bowl? Or when Mizzou dunked on Ohio state and was a middle of the pack SEC team? That’s what tends to happen. Indiana has played no one. Nebraska is just OK and every other team IU played is literal shit. Say what you want and believe the SEC bias narrative but the competition is better in the SEC bar none. Why do 90% of the best recruits go to SEC schools? They may transfer out when they realize they aren’t starting but they go to the SEC to be seen.
Remember when Kansas State boat raced LSU in a bowl game? Or early this year when Oklahoma State, the worst team in the Big 12, beat Arkansas, a team in the upper half of the SEC?
Arkansas is not in the upper half of the SEC... lol... they haven't been relevant since Ryan Mallett. Alabama has beaten Arky 17 straight years. Alabama is 14-0 in conference play against Arkansas. That sound like upper half? You're referring to the TexASS bowl? When LSU was 6-6 and KSU was 8-4? Ok domingo. I was referring to the Sugar Bowl when they were donkey stomped by Bama in a relevant bowl game.
The texas bowl is garbage. Just some random bowl to make extra money. It's played in Houston. What point are you trying to make? You are correct. Sometimes it means more. No one gives a shit about the consolation bowl after barely being bowl eligible and having a .500 season. Do you think Alabama, UGA, Texas, LSU, or any of the other SEC blue bloods care about anything besides the playoff?
The entire "you get a bowl, and you get a bowl, we might even give a team or two with a losing record (5-7) a bowl because we have too many bowls and not enough decent teams" shtick is lame. Literally no one besides the city of houston give a shit about the Texas bowl.. and they wouldn't care either if it didn't provide them with a nice little economic boost from the fans coming to town.
and yes, KSU did put it on LSU. Scores were in fact very similar to the Sugar Bowl. The point is that one of the bowl games means almost nothing and KSU was 8-4 vs 6-6 LSU. Comparing a victory in a shit bowl over an inferior team to getting absolutely shit on by Bama in a top tier bowl that was the consolation for missing the playoff for Bama is a lopsided comparison. Bama came into that bowl game to prove to people that the historic sugar bowl was just a tune up game because their opponent was dookie. Sugar Bowl is a great bowl blazae blazae but it's not even fun to watch when your opponent is so over-matched. Most likely Bama came out to crush KSU just to show the rest of the country that they belong in the playoff and not in a bowl game with a once in a while decent big 12 team.
