…and this is why bowl games aren’t that fun anymore, it’s not September rosters. Plus, this is the narrative the SEC trots out anytime they lose a bowl game. Watch, if K-Stste beats ‘Bama, that’s all they’ll talk about.
Actually, fans of non-SEC fans use that as an anti-talking point more than fans of SEC teams do. It's become a mantra of sorts.
As for Alabama, Bryce Young and Will Anderson are playing with no opt outs. If they lose, so be it. K-State will have a very nice Sugar Bowl Trophy for their case!
FWIW, Alabama is on a 7 game Bowl winning streak, going for 8!
