No, losing 3 out of our last 4 hurt us.

Tennessee is rising.
LSU is disappointed and almost fired their coach.
Florida is the SECE champ and also about an hour or so away.
UGA is geographically friendly to Jacksonville.
LSU is geographically friendly to Houston.

Outside of the playoffs it doesn't matter what bowl we play in. It's cool to play in new cities if you're a traveling fan but other than that who really cares? You share the money already so it doesn't mean anything. At the end of the day does it matter more to have a game in Houston vs Atlanta or Nashville? No.

I doubt it. We were in the mass of SEC teams between Florida and Auburn (4 teams went 5-3 and 2 teams went 4-4 in conference), so the main rationale was geography and avoiding repeat trips.

How did LSU get screwed? They got placed in a geographically favorable bowl in a preferred recruiting territory with a tremendous alumni base and the SEC shares bowl revenue so who cares.
LSU fans are more apt to travel to Houston than to any of the florida bowls.

Personally I couldn't care less what bowl we go to now. The season ended very badly and I'm emotionally done. I'm afraid the players might be also.
And the truth shall set you free.
This fan base is (hopelessly?) divided. The bowl committees see this. I guarantee you that the fan bases of the teams going to the Florida bowls are more optimistic, unified and willing to buy tickets.
Sadly, I'm not sure winning the next 30 games, two national championships, and then retiring will get this fan base to unite around Les.

Exactly. We were only going to the Citrus if Florida and Ole Miss were both in NY6 bowls. I don't think going to the Outback for the second time in three years would have been exciting for many people even though it is on 1/1. I also don't think we have as much of a recruiting and alumni presence in the Tampa area.
I also think Northwestern would be tougher to beat. They're a better team overall, and they are comfortable with methodical games in the trenches.

The players seemed to have great attitudes to me. They don't read the Rant unless they need something to help in the case of excess optimism.

Plus I'm sure LF7 likes the prospect of playing the #123 ranked rushing defense.

It also cost Fournette the Heisman. He'd have been over 2000 yards.
He would most probably had over 2000 yards had we not had all of the penalties, especially on his long runs.
I'm kind of glad we aren't playing in a good bowl.
