After a disappointing season on the gridiron, the SEC will try to rebound with a solid bowl season for the second year in a row.
Last year, the league blazed through the postseason with a 9-2 record, culminating in Alabama winning another national championship.
Though the league limped along this year with the mighty Crimson Tide going undefeated but nobody else finishing with fewer than four losses, the conference will try to save some face against foes from other conferences in the bowl games.
Alabama could carry the torch for the league with another championship (again) too, as head coach Nick Saban's top-ranked team is the favorite to repeat in the College Football Playoff.
