Sec record in bowl games 2012-13

And the culmination of the college football season is the bowl season. The bowl season is the time when most major college football teams with winning records get to play in bowl games. The better a team does during the season; the better their bowl generally. The bowl games are the highlight of the year for players, fans, and coaches alike.

If you are lucky, hopefully you get to travel to a warm, sunny place, in late December or early January, to play the game.

These games are big pay days for the teams that go and the athletic departments and conferences they represent.
