The Texas Bowl was interesting for about 20 minutes, while Texas A&M was taking their first possession of the first quarter and driving for a touchdown to lead 7-0, and the A&M defense was holding Kansas State scoreless on their first possession. Then the game started turning to shit, just like four of A&M's last six regular season games. Final score 33-28, season record 8-5. We should start calling Sumlin "Old Eight and Five" if we haven't already.

UPDATE 6:09 PM MONDAY 2 JAN 2017:
I haven't had enough patience or interest to watch any of the bowl games from start to finish, although I've managed to see parts of several. The SEC teams are 6-5 so far. The good ones have been winning (Alabama, Florida, LSU, Georgia and Tennessee, along with Mississippi State). The weaker ones all lost (Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Kentucky and Arkansas). The game between Auburn and Oklahoma is tonight, and Alabama will play Clemson for the national championship next week. Haven't we already seen that game, like last January maybe?
UPDATE 9:49 AM 5 JANUARY:
Auburn lost to Oklahoma, giving the Big 12 (Minus 4 Plus 2) a pair of bowl game wins over the SEC, and 2-1 record including TCU's loss to Georgia. The SEC bowl record is a mediocre 6-6, but the Crimson Tide plays again on Monday in The Big Game.
