SEC Bowl Game Point Spreads and Television Schedule

Written by Darrell Owenby | 09 December 2009

There are ten SEC teams playing in post-season bowl games this year.  No other FBS Conference has 83% of their teams bowl eligible. The SEC is favored in seven of ten games, but only one bowl game has an SEC team favored by more than 7.5 points (Sugar Bowl).

With many of the games scoping at 4.5 points (or less), the SEC will not win 70% of their bowl games ... it is still the best football conference in America, but we had a down year.
