It's in a shitty stadium and we are going to play a shitty team from a shitty conference.

Every team outside the SEC is shitty, so unless we get another SEC team it don't really matter between Clemson, Nebraska, MIchigan, etc..

Because it is generally #5-6 SEC school.

Order should be

BCS NCG
SUGAR = Top SEC
COTTON = #2-3 SEC
CAPITAL ONE = #3-4 SEC
OUTBACK = #3-4 SEC
CHIC FIL A = #5-6 SEC


I still think we get Cotton even though A&M vs. Texas looks more appealing.

Outside of BCS, it doesn't matter. It's just a penis envy game at that point. The only preference comes from which city you'd rather go to for a few days ... And Atlanta sucks!

Because it's sponsored by a bunch of chicken-bangin', gay-hatin' hillbillies.

Because of the payout.

BCS Bowls payout: 18million
Cotton bowl:6.75 million
Capitol One:4.25 million
Outback: 3.4 million
Chik-fil-a: 3.3 million

I think a big part of it is not about he Chick-fil-a bowl at all. It's that there a number of people that just don't like Miles and were looking for things to be upset about. And I think they were kind of upset that his press conference after the Ole Miss game went over positively with most of the media and fans and that kind of stoked their anger. I think any non BCS bowl that we are mentioned as possibly going to would have provoked the same reaction.

(Note, I'm not saying these posters are right or wrong or good or bad. They have a right to their opinion. I'm just saying what I think a lot of the motivation was).

Also, I think a part of it may be that the holidays may be a bit of a bad time for some of the more pure trollish types of internet users and you kind of saw that come out.

Because it's the 5th bowl and we should not be considered the 5th best team in the conference.

I think A+M is a good candidate to get shipped to one of the Florida bowls. They are new bait and attractive. Who else is going to take the other Florida bowl besides UGA/Bama loser? USCe would not be picked ahead of A+M.

Payout really doesn't matter as all of the money is split among the SEC teams.

You should know by now the bowls aren't worried about picking the best team.

because nobody will be watching. it's an "also-ran" bowl game.

doesn't really help out our national image to go play an unranked ACC team that nobody gives a frick about.
