Since 2006, no Bowl Championship Series league can match the Southeastern Conference’s record against the spread. SEC teams have gone 19-7, with the Pac-10 second at 10-6-1. Then comes the Big East at 8-7-1. The Atlantic Coast (11-13-2), Big Ten (10-12) and Big 12 (7-16) have been postseason losers.
As for the non-BCS leagues, Western Athletic Conference teams have gone 7-6 and the Mountain West 7-7. Other records: Conference USA (8-9), Mid-American (3-9), Sun Belt (3-2) and Independents (3-2).
With Saturday marking the start of a glorious run of 34 bowl games in 19 days, I sought the advice of professional gambler Ted Sevransky on how to approach this year's postseason. Read what Sevransky had to say in my latest column for Covers.
Covers is second to none in coverage of industry news, statistics and advice. Covers' excellent matchups page features previews, trends and line moves for all the bowl games. Check it out!
You argued earlier in the season that the SEC was overrated because they did poorly against the spread. Now "Since 2006, no Bowl Championship Series league can match the Southeastern Conference’s record against the spread."
You've got some serious credibility issues man...

To clarify, it's against the spread in bowl games. The regular season is a different beast.
