Here's the thing, even the "better" SEC teams are really going to struggle against other conferences when it comes time for the bowls, because the SEC is week overall. They won't be well prepared.
There are maybe, maybe 3 SEC teams that could beat Baylor, let alone TCU, WVU, OU, UT, and KSU.
I almost feel sorry for Alabama. It's not entirely their fault, it's just that they play in a terrible conference.
