🏈 Total number of SEC bowl wins? The number is set at 6½. Which side to do you fall on this season?

If I heard them correctly, I believe the SEC—according to ESPN's FPI—is projected to win more than 6½. GMac put his number at nine wins.

Which one would be the 1/2 game?

 

[BamaFan334]

I see six I feel good about, so that means we would need to see one upset in my mind to win the bet.

I see Auburn, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, and Georgia as good possibilities.

Kentucky has the ability to beat Penn State, Florida could clamp down on Michigan and with a depleted defense could score, and Missouri could catch fire like they can.

Not a bet I would feel comfortable making unless I just had a hundo to throw away.

 

[alabama mike]

Under 6 1/2.

 

[jdpas29]

I think we get 7 wins if the Barn doesn't fold

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

I see 4 I am confident enough to put real money on. 3 more that I put virtual money on

I would take under 6 1/2 if I were betting the bologna and cheese money

6 losses.....6 wins if nc game countsi
Bama 2
Lsu
Tx AnM
Vandy
UGA

 

[bamachine]

Gimme over, just barely, gonna say 7-4.

 

[planomateo]

If Texas beats Georgia I'm gonna laugh.

Interesting that the Big XII's bluebloods get UGA and Bama this year.

 

[Rolltide24]

I feel good with 5 wins from that lot. Unless we count Bama winning again in the finale... Then I see 6.

2017-18 we only had 9 teams qualify. Record before NC game was 4-5

2016-17 we had 12 teams and record before NC game of 6-6. The conference just hasn't fared so well in bowl season.

It’s hard to find 7 wins in that list , with any confidence . Hope I’m wrong but motivation will play a large factor and you know the opposing teams will be gunning for the mighty SEC and give maximum effort .

"Mighty SEC" and "6-6" might not be hot dog and mustard one could say..
Really...where are the games that are stimulating....exclude Bama...
UGA-TX ( dont know why....though)
Missouri-ok State ( that could be shootout)
LSU-UCF ( just cause?)
About it

Going strictly by the chalk, the SEC is favored in nine of the 11 games, four by two scores, all more than a field goal.

Tie breakers aren't included in the conference standings. Going strictly from conference standings the SEC isn't in head to head matchups--often, technically, an underdog. (SEC #7 vs Big 12 #6)

Team	Conference Standing	Team	Conference Standing	Spread
Vanderbilt	SEC T #7	Baylor	Big 12 #6	+3.5
Auburn	SEC T #10	Purdue	B1G 4 way tie #5 (5-4)	+4
Florida	SEC T #4	Michigan	B1G #2	-7
South Carolina	SEC T #7	Virginia	ACC T#6 (Coastal -4)	+4
Alabama	SEC #1	Oklahoma	Big 12 #1	+15
Missouri	SEC T #7	Oklahoma State	Big 12 #9	+7.5
Texas A&M	SEC T #4	NC State	ACC T#4 (Atlantic-3)	+4.5
Mississippi State	SEC T #4	Iowa	B1G 4 way tie #5 (5-4)	+7
LSU	SEC T #4	UCF	AAC #1	+8
Kentucky	SEC T #3	Penn State	B1G #4	-7
Georgia	SEC #2 (E-#1)	Texas	Big 12 #2	+11

See any that stimulate you?....

I was just admiring Emily Mortimer a few minutes ago...

 

[TerryP]

@50+yeartidefan, the closer we get to the game, UCF is one. Auburn, another. With so many not playing, suspensions a yearly occurence, it's one of those things you can never get a great feel for. At least I have struggled at times.

There are some intriguing matchups. Okie State's offense with Gundy calling the plays versus Missouri's with Dooley.

I just hope lsu dont lay down....

@50+yeartidefan, I hope UCF chokes the life out of the who. There is one fan on their board that I'm going to try to cause him an aneurysm.
