SEC vs Big 12 bowl game edition

Texas vs UGa Sugar Bowl

OU vs Alabama Cotton Bowl

Who ya got?  It will certainly be interesting to see how the teams match up. For those touting the great defense of Alabama and the poor defense of OU it will be a contrast of strengths.

Texas vs UGa Sugar Bowl
And I was hoping for a 10-win season.

Oh well, if Herman's squad can't beat Georgia in his 2nd year then I can forgive that.

SEC/Big 12 bowl matchups are always rigged to favor the SEC.  A&M is a much more equal matchup for Texas.  But hades no, the SEC (and A&M) aren't going near it.  It has to be easy money for the SEC.

I’m perfectly fine with everyone thinking Bama wins it in a walk. OU does better as an underdog.  In 2013 Bama was favored by 16.5 in the Sugar against OU.

Texas will give Georgia a good game.  I think it’s gonna be close.  

In fact I think both games will be close.  If I were betting, I’d bet that both SEC teams win but that neither covers the spread.

No excuses for Bama. They have something to play for now. 

I think UT will be way overmatched with UGa but they might not.

Like the Sugar Bowl is nothing to play for ...
I mean, sure, they’re the best team of the current era, but a Sugar Bowl win will always a worth going all out for.  Just think of all those graduating seniors, to go out on a Sugar Bowl win is still a biggie.
In fact this was how Stoops went out (as a head coach), on a big Sugar Bowl W over Auburn.  Always the best way, going out a winner.

I never said they had nothing to play for. Saban intimated as much after the game. No excuses this time.

I will say that Trevor Knight ( of the 50% completion variety) played the game of his life and OU had their QB running for his life.

I don’t care for either team. I think Bama will win but it won’t be a blow out.

Some of you may not know this but there was whispers that Kyler Murray refused to go in the game vs Bama in 2015 and got into it with the coaches. This is the game where Kyle Allen threw several pick 6s and was pulled. Kyler played in his relief and threw one pick 6 too and had an overall bad game.  Rumors were swirling after the game about Kylers behavior on the sideline. He transferred not long after.

Vegas loves the SEC

Bama favored by 14

Dogs favored by 11

I just hope we stay within 2 TDs

Okay we agree on your first point.
On your last, all I can say is what we said to Texas Tech, for letting Baker Mayfield go.  Thank you, A&M!

Hard to know where the UGA "heads" are in this one.  I'd take the points and both dogs to cover.

Oklahoma can score on Bama, a lot.  And vice versa.

UGA is probably more talented than Texas at this point, but that does not always matter.  Both lost their CGs.

If Texas loses, Texas will go 9-5 which will make Tom Herman's second season record identical to Mack Brown's second season record at Texas.

I've been reading on TexAgs that:
Georgia will absolutely slaughter Texas;
Unless of course they don't want to be there because they were screwed out of the CFP, in which case they won't show up.
So the narrative has been covered.   Win or lose, tu is undeserving dog crap and the unassailable greatness that is the SEC shall prevail.

Personally, I would love to see pay back for the 1984 Cotton Bowl that followed the 1983 season.

I want to see it come down to a hopeless, trailing Texas punting in the final moments and the Georgia punt returner getting absolutely destroyed and fumbling the ball which Texas picks up and runs into the end zone for the go ahead TD.

You left out OSU vs Mizzou.  The Big12 is expected to go 0-3 vs the SEC.  Whatever.  
The Sooners are 12-1, Big 12 Champs and in the playoffs.  I'm happy.
Texas has 9 wins, won the RRS, made a serious charge at the Big 12 title and has a Sugar Bowl date.  That is a great season as well.
