Kirt -- here you go, for this year, SEC Bowl match-ups were:

#1 SEC -- LSU vs #1 Big Ten -- Ohio State
#2 SEC -- Georgia vs #1 WAC
#3 SEC -- Florida vs #3 Big Ten Michigan
#4 SEC -- Tennessee vs #4 Big Ten Michigan
#5 SEC -- Auburn vs #4 ACC Clemson
#6 SEC -- Arkansas vs #3 Big-12 Missouri
#7 SEC -- Kentucky vs #7 ACC Florida State
#8 SEC -- Miss State vs #1 CUSA
#9 SEC -- Alabama vs. #5 Big-12 Colorado

So, you can see the SEC never plays lower ranked seeds from other conferences and usually plays a higher seed.

As for playing away from home. SEC schools play away from home as much as anyone else. The difference is that SEC schools happen to be located in or near state's that host bowl games. So, naturally, SEC teams tend to play bowl games closer to home.

Hope that helps.
