With TAMU, Mizzou, and LSU now all on the western side they should move a top bowl tie in . The Cotton Bowl is the "good" bowl on this side of the SEC. Outback, cap, and chic all in the east. Need to move a major tie in to Houston. Seems logical to me.

Yes I have always wanted this! I hate bowl tie ins. I hate how if we don't make the NC there is a finite amount of destinations we can go to. I don't agree on Houston or St. Louis-I think it should be further west. More exotic like Phoenix or San Diego. The biggest point here is- why is there no bowl game that pits the SEC vs the PAC 12? Two major conferences and no bowl game?

I would even be happy if the Sun Bowl I'm El Paso was SEC vs PAC 12. Sick of Atlanta and Dallas and don't care for cap one bowl. I am excited about Tampa since its new, just not about opponent.

Good post- SEC needs more exposure out west.

SEC needs to just get rid of tie-ins, period. Just let whatever Bowls set up the most appealing matchups to sell tickets. Sucks that each division basically goes to the same 6 bowls every year.

I love the idea of an SEC vs. PAC 12 bowl game, but Old El Paso is better in a jar than in a bowl.

Dallas would be good, maybe at Jerry World, or San Diego if y'all don't mind a little bit more of a trip.
