8 current SEC teams have been to BCS bowls


Jan 5, 2014, 9:42 PM

And that was before this season. So, the SEC thing isn't a good excuse...

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Only 7 SEC schools. TAMU doesn't count. Tougher from SEC.


Jan 6, 2014, 2:31 PM

Obviously Spurrier's point was that, even though SCar has beaten Clemson 5-straight (and has had 3 11-win seasons), SCar was left out of the BCS and Clemson made it twice because it's tougher to get there from the SEC.

Considering the ACC's pathetic BCS bowl record (4-13) and the SEC's (17-9), I think practically all objective observers would agree that it's easier to get to a BCS bowl from the ACC and ACC teams have been typically less deserving.

SEC-East schools went 11-out-of 16 years (Florida, UGA, & Tennessee).

I don't think it matters how many different SEC schools went to BCS bowls, but even so, it makes no sense to count then-Big-12's Texas A&M as an SEC team because when Texas A&M got to the BCS, it wasn't in the stronger SEC (which was Spurrier's point).

I say Bama and LSU because they've clearly been the only consistently strong programs over the past decade. Obviously, Awburn bought a MNC with Newton and I believe they lose this year.

Spurrier is right that it's harder for SCar to get invited to a BCS bowl because they're in the toughest conference full of desirable bowl teams. He should have left it at that. But the part about Clemson having been to an Orange Bowl before doesn't contradict Dabo's lame brag. It bolsters it. Clemson is STILL the ONLY team from SC to go to (what became a) BCS bowl.

Yes, in 1982 we won the Orange Bowl but that's not the only other "major" bowl we won. We beat BC in the Cotton Bowl when it was one of 4 games on New Year's Day back in the good ole days.

Re: Football Update: Spurrier responds to Dabo's Orange Bowl comments

In the decade of the 50's we went to 5 bowl games. And this was when there weren't but maybe 7 bowls. Of the 5 bowl games we played in, 3 of them were what is today called a BCS bowl. We went to 2 Orange and a Sugar a Gator and Bluebonnet Bowl in the 50's. That was big time football back then. It really meant something in those days to get a bowl game. Not like today when you can almost have a losing season and go to a bowl. Oh, and we won the '51 Orange, lost the '57 Orange and lost the '59 Sugar to the LSU national; championship team that had the Heisman winner on the team. I was at the '57 Orange Bowl. It was the game Coach Howard told the team he would quit if they didn't play better in the second half. We trailed Colorado 20 to 0 at the half and came out and took a 21 to 20 lead before getting beat in the end. The '59 Sugar we lost 7 to 0. They scored on a high snap from center on a punt I think it was. We beat Miami 15 to 14 in the '51 Orange Bowl. So you see, this ain't our first dance and it won't be our last. SC has been jealous of our success for 100 years.
