The last several years the SEC was considered to be the best conference in the nation. Big Ten teams had to perform well during the bowl season to prove they were on par with the Southeastern Conference. Now the roles are reversed. Can the SEC catch up to and possibly pass the Big Ten during this bowl season.
The Southeastern Conference will have quite a hill to climb. While in the past the SEC dominated the rankings going into the bowls, this season it is the Big Ten on top. They have three of the top seven teams in the country and the SEC only has one.
