Would you rather be in a "better" bowl against a worse team?

Why do people care about the name of the bowl and the payout? You don't see the money anyway. And with SEC splits, it doesn't matter. Clemson vs. LSU is a great game, and not in shitty Orlando or Jerryworld. I promise I'm jealous of the bowl. I don't want to play OU in an overrated stadium that we have never won at.

It's not the name or the payout. It's being passed over, under the influence of the conference office, by two teams with the same record, both of whom LSU beat.


That said, I'll be there.

I promise you there is a lot more to do in "Shitty Orlando" than in Atlanta.

Jerryworld is a pretty decent establishment. I mean didn't it cost billions?

These days, the status of any bowl that has LSU is elevated. There are however pros and cons to New Years Eve in Atlanta.

But, I am for sure looking more forward to our game than if we were playing N. Illinois or Louisville.

The BCS messed up trying to be inclusive of non-BCS conference schools. Now fans are stuck with crappy BCS bowl games every season. So what if 3-4 teams from one conference get in.

LSU & OU is better than Clemson.

A&M & Clemson is better than OU.

I'd rather LSU play OU in Dallas so much more than Clemson in the CFa. It's not even supposed to be a competitive game (which I find surprising) and LSU really can't accomplish much by winning.

I am happy for TAM getting to play in the Cotton. I hope TAM sticks it to Oklahoma and the Big-12.

TAM could become a recuiting monster in a few years now that they are in the SEC.

The SEC West is going to be amazing if Auburn can regroup, and Arkansas takes advantage of their proximity to Texas talent.

I'd rather play a name team that we rarely get the chance to play.

I thought Aggie kinda got screwed with the Cotton and having to play the B12 OU again. I'm not disappointed with the Clemson matchup at all.

I hear idiots whining about the bowl payout all the time like it makes any difference.

A worse team than Clemson?
