🏈 SEC bowl match-ups: SEC now favored in all but three games.

[RollTideRandy]

How do you think the SEC will fare this bowl season. Teams from the SEC seem to under-perform, generally, but I think last year had a very good winning percentage. Personally I would be surprised if...

Arkansas, Georgia, Miss St, Auburn, Alabama, or Missouri lost

South Carolina or Ole Miss won

and the others are toss-ups for me. As a reminder, here is the SEC bowl schedule:

Duck Commander Independence Bowl
South Carolina vs. Miami

AutoZone Liberty Bowl
Texas A&M vs. West Virginia

AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl
Arkansas vs. Texas

Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl
LSU vs. Notre Dame

Belk Bowl
Georgia vs. Louisville

Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl
Ole Miss vs. TCU

Capital One Orange Bowl
Mississippi State vs. Georgia Tech

Outback Bowl
Auburn vs. Wisconsin

Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl
Missouri vs. Minnesota

Allstate Sugar Bowl
Alabama vs. Ohio State

TaxSlayer Bowl
Tennessee vs. Iowa

Birmingham Bowl
Florida vs. East Carolina

Alabama is not only playing in the biggest game of the 12 SEC teams that will be featured in postseason play, but the top-ranked Crimson Tide is also the league's largest favorite, according to the latest odds released by Danny Sheridan.

Nick Saban's team is currently a 9 ½-point favorite over No. 4 Ohio State in the College Football Playoff semifinal game in New Orleans.

No. 23 LSU, which will meet Notre Dame in the Music City Bowl, is the SEC's only other team that is favored by more than a touchdown. The Tigers are 7 ½-point favorites over Notre Dame in Sheridan's odds.

In all, nine of the 12 bowl-bound SEC teams are currently favored in postseason games.

Florida, which is a seven-point favorite over East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl, is the only team from the league that will face an opponent from outside a Power Five conference.

Texas A&M, Ole Miss and South Carolina are the SEC's lone underdogs.

West Virginia is a 3 ½-point favorite over the Aggies in the Liberty Bowl, and No. 6 TCU is favored by three points in the Peach Bowl against the No. 9-ranked Rebels.

The Independence Bowl, which features the Gamecocks and Miami, is a pick 'em, with the Hurricanes currently favored by a point in Sheridan's odds.

No. 7 Mississippi State and No. 13 Georgia are both seven-point favorites over opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs will face No. 12 Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl, while the Georgia Bulldogs will take on No. 21 Louisville in the Belk Bowl.

No. 16 Missouri and Arkansas are both six-point favorites.

The Tigers will face No. 25 Minnesota in the Citrus Bowl, while the Razorbacks will meet Texas in the Texas Bowl.

No. 19 Auburn is a 5 ½-point favorite over Wisconsin in the Outback Bowl, and Tennessee is currently a three-point favorite over Iowa in the TaxsLayer Bowl.

Texas A&M, Ole Miss and South Carolina are the SEC's lone underdogs.

I need to update the odds in the Sportsbook; I guess? I realize these are Sheridan's odds and not the ones used here.

Ole Miss opened at -3, UofSC at -1.5, and A&M did open as a four point dog.
