I was asking about your statement that SEC teams get to play bowl games against teams from weaker conferences. That seems circular.
I hadn't considered the argument that bowl games are disproportionately in the South. That's true, but if the SEC has a structural advantage in bowl games, it is attributable less to geography and more attributable to how well SEC fans travel to bowl games. My guess is that an average SEC team would outdraw Sparty in literally every bowl, including what used to be known as the Motor City Bowl.
