I just watched 8 minutes of opening show coverage for the Cap One Bowl on the ESPN Bowl Selection show. They say this is the best non-BCS bowl. They could have said the only non-BCS Bowl top 10 matchup is LSU was in it. The Cap One Bowl gets a ton of hype, meanwhile the Cotton Bowl hasn't even been shown on the bottom scroll yet.

Isn't the Cotton on FOX this year? If so, that might explain it. Would also mean that FOX is going to push us a hell of a lot.

Capital One - ESPN
Cotton - Fox

/thread

preemptively, for the 9999999th time, payout doesn't matter. The revenue is split 12 ways among all SEC teams.

That's because FOX covers the Cotton Bowl this year.

The only thing ever said on ESPN that you can take as the unvarnished, unbiased truth is when they say "ESPN is great." Anything else is, to a greater or lesser extent, about ESPN.

Yep. We got passed over and it sucks. Hope all the pro Cotton bowlers like what they get. A fired up, scrappy aTm team that will vastly outnumber LSU fans. It will be a no win situation. If we beat the much lower ranked aTm it will hardly garner any attention. But if we lose it will be the iconic upset of the bowl season and will do nothing but build up our hated recruiting rival and legitimize their turnaround.

I would have said that but didn't want to blow any rantards' minds any more than I probably already did.

Exactly, and they put Alabama vs. Michigan State up first for discussion.

The Cap One is on fox at noon along with 5 other games.
