What criteria is used by these senior bowls when selecting participants? In the game last night we had 1 player from LSU and I saw 1 from Kentucky. With all the seniors each year. Who invites the players for each bowl. Is there any input from the pros?

Whenever there are two senior QBs on one team the usually take the better one. Other than that, couldn't tell you.

Has Jordan Jefferson been invited to a post season bowl?

This is not about that. Does anyone really know. And how many of the other Tigers will get invited to one of these games?

1. Google post season all star games.
2. Google each of the listed games.
3. Read the list of names.

the sr bowls are there to showcase players to pro scouts, therefore select players that they think will draw the most scouts.

Do you know if the pros have a hand in making this list. I don't believe that it is just random list of seniors thrown together. Who generates the list?

The Senior Bowl in Mobile is the most prestigious. The teams are coached by professional staffs. They are chosen by a panel of people associated with the SB, but rely to a certain degree on guidance from pro scouts. They try to have at least one player from each SEC school represented. Understandably more Alabama and Auburn players are generally chosen.
The others also play to local interest as well. Not every body invited is a genuine pro prospect and not all pro prospects attend the games. Some players choose to skip them, preferring to showcase their talents at try-outs, combines, etc.

Are you serious? After the effort he displayed in the BCS game I can't imagine him being invited anywhere. Irony of it all is how Lee gets invited to a senior game and plays great! Would have been nice to see him get another chance to lead us to the title after playing so well in the fist 2/3 of the season and then being benched b/c of 1 bad game. That was wrong! Geaux Lee!
