Want to make a bet? One that if you lose you remove C4F from moderator duties for the next 140 years?

The B1G has historically won more bowl games against the SEC per year but no one ever talks about it. Not to mention these bowl games are always played in SEC territory and are virtual home games.

B1G is the better conference, don't buy the myth.

All should be pretty good games that could go either way IMO. Right now I'd have to go with:
A&M
Georgia: although I think this game is a tossup.
Nebraska (if the real Neb shows up)
OSU

2-1 (Ohio State and Nebraska being the winners)

I don't count A&M as a SEC school until next season. They are representing the Big 12. (I think they win against Northwestern though)

SEC fans will decide whether to count A&M or not. If A&M wins, they are an SEC school, if A&M loses they are a B12 school. ESPN will have their back either way so its another lose-lose for the B1G.

No, because I don't give a shit about either conference.

Shouldn't have listed them at all according to your thread title.

That's your opinion, but if you felt that way, why did you post 2-2?

i imagine big tens fans will decide that A&M is a big 12 if they win. and i'm sure you will be the first to make that claim

Ok. SYH all you want, A&M is a Big 12 team. They have a Big 12 record this season, not a SEC record. Therefore, if they win or lose, it'll be counted as a loss for a Big 12 team. Did you consider Nebraska's bowl loss last year a loss for the B1G?

Well if you want it on record, A&M counts towards the B12 total anyway. I'm just saying fans will claim them when Northwestern gets beat by A&M, because the other 3 games are easy B1G wins.

with OSU being invovled in one of them. with their 1-9 record against the sec in bowl games , i would hardly say it gonna be a easy win. maybe easy for the gators.
