Not sure if this is what you're asking, but the SEC champion plays in the Sugar Bowl unless they are selected to play in the BCS championship game.

ARe you talked about what was announced this week?

if so, it all has to do with the new 4 team playoff that starts in a couple seasons. Basically, the SEC was shopping a place to send their champion along with the Big 12. They called it the "Champions Bowl" just as a code while they were shopping it. It basically came down to the cotton bowl and the sugar bowl. The sugar bowl one. It won't be called the champions bowl.

Ok, the "champions bowl" (soon to be called the Sugar Bowl) will be a completely new bowl game which matches up the SEC champion vs. the Big XII champion, unless one of those teams is in the new 4 team playoff.

The game "formerly known as the Sugar Bowl" will be rotated in as part of the playoff sites.

Essentially the Sugar Bowl committee will host the "champions bowl" and then a separate game when the "Sugar Bowl" is selected to host a playoff game.

SEC champion would play Big 12 champion in new orleans, except if one of those champions were in the semi finals. Basically you would still get a good bowl if you were a 2-3 loss big 12 or sec champion.

The semi finals will also be rotated every 4 years if im not mistaken.
