As the college football bowl season heats up, teams across the Southeastern Conference are struggling to earn wins this postseason. With Auburn suffering a 17–13 loss to Houston in the Birmingham Bowl on Tuesday, the SEC dropped to 0–3 and currently sits as one of two Power 5 conferences without a bowl win.
All three of the SEC's losses have come against Group of 5 institutions. Army defeated Missouri 24–22 in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 22.
The next day, Central Florida knocked off Florida 29–17 in the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl. With the Cougars' defeat of the Tigers, they secured the third 12-plus win season in school history.
