It’s bowl season, which means it’s prime time for all the conferences to play for bragging rights and prove their worth. As well as teams and conferences can represent themselves during occasional matches in the regular season, their achievements are magnified in high-profile bowl games.
The SEC is considered the best conference in college football, which means it’s even more important for league teams to do well in postseason play if it wants to maintain its credibility.
