Bowl Games Thread 2025

You wanting to believe something doesnt make it true. I'm not saying Texas and Oklahoma are better than Texas Tech. That's debatable. We'll know more after Oregon game.

Either one of them trades places with Texas Tech and they win the Big 12 easily just like Tech did though.

You can't argue with a straight face the Big 12 isn't worse without Texas and Oklahoma. That would be really stupid.

I'm not too sure what will happen with Nebraska. Both teams with enough portals/opt outs I'm not sure how much that game tells you. Hope we beat their ass though.
I just don’t think there is as much separation as you think there is. Sec has been and continues to be vastly overrated. BYU should have been in playoff over bama . Sec always gets a retarded amount of teams ranked early on and they get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to playoff picks - it’s dumb

If Oklahoma and Texas were in the BigXII this year the top 3 would look like Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech in any particular order. BigXII is shit outside of TT. The Utah teams are ok, but both would be .500 squads in the B1G or SEC.

lol nah. Sec very overrated. A crap vandy team rolled through it pretty well. A sub par a&m team only had one conf loss.

I agree the SEC is overrated but they’re still clearly no.2 and by a wide margin IMO. Right now the B1G is the undisputed best football conference top to bottom. Period.

A lot of people still want to believe the SEC is top dog and make a “depth of teams” argument based on artificial preseason rankings that manipulate the system. That’s how and why the SEC is overrated, but they’re still no.2 by a very wide margin IMO.

Well, I have no problem with this being true but I don’t believe it is. SEC is still a lot better than the BjgXII and ACC.

Agree they are #2. Disagree it’s a very wide margin. Closer than you think.

Couldn’t agree more. SEC = Ponzi scheme

Yea it’s close. The SEC and B1G are always going to be the be dog conferences going forward. The B1G leveled up at the top of the conference and have jumped the SEC top teams in the past few years. I’m not sold the B1G is better top to bottom though. More of the teams outside the normal top 4-5 programs in the B1G need to level up.
 
Sec just doesn’t care about bowl games, can’t wait for that narrative, quit ranking ten in the top 25 preseason and shuffling them around all year
