prestige, money, etc
I get prestige maybe, but don't all teams split the money evenly?
Cotton, Peach, Capital One...whatever. It is all the same to me. We tend to get better match-ups in the Chik-Fil-A like 2005 Miami.

It is a matter of principle. LSU should not be passed for A&M, SC, or Georgia.
i don't really care about the bowl if we're not in a BCS bowl, but i'll put it this way
the peach isn't the worst bowl out there
the peach is basically the worst bowl that LSU could possibly have gone to this year

this bowl matches up teams that are better than every BCS bowl other than than the NCG.
Or, to put it another way, the BCS has really effed itself. Tiger fans may be pissed, but what about:
Rose Bowl .. Wisconsin unranked.
ORANGE BOWL .. NIU (I think that's Northern Indiana or Illinois or Indianapolis University).
Rose Bowl and OB got screwed worse than LSU.

I sure hope the team is fired up to play against Clemson.... because losing to them would be terrible.
Sounds like you're contradicting yourself a bit there. Because if losing to them would be so terrible, it's probably not so great of a matchup.

We just have to endure the initial meltdowns. The storm before the calm, if you will.

irrelevant. they're big10 champs. they're going to the rose regardless of BCS or no BCS

coaches being progressive and pushing them up high enough did that. it's ridiculous

well "new years day bowl" means something in CFB
i don't care personally, but in the grand scheme of things it tends to matter

Seriously tempted to take that.
You're looking at Louisville and N Illinois. Why would one assume that will get higher ratings?

bigger game = bigger ratings
i don't know how often a non-BCS bowl out-drew a BCS bowl, but if it's happened, it's real rare

I love it!!! Not only can I go, but I will have bragging rights over all these lunatic Carolina people!!!!

The bowl has never been a New Year's Day bowl

The Orange Bowl had a 4 rating last year.

.... correction.... the MELTDOWN associated with losing to them would be terrible.
I think it's a good matchup and will be a fun game for fans to watch.
they have the higher octane "O" and LSU has the SEC stingy "D" ... something has to give?
That alone creates some excitment in my mind.
I like it, myself.
