This is what doesn't sit well with me:

quote:

Other BCS bowls. The other BCS bowls are allowed to pick whomever they choose from eligible teams, with the exception that they are limited to two teams from a given conference. Alabama and Florida have already been selected, so the other BCS bowls cannot pick an otherwise-eligible SEC team.



quote:

Cotton Bowl/Outback Bowl. This is where things get tricky. Per Jacques Doucet, the Cotton Bowl wants LSU, but the SEC wants them to take Georgia



Not a shot at you. I agree, the bowls are allowed to pick whoever they want, so what's with Slive and the SEC trying to strong arm the Cotton Bowl committee?

Let them make their pick. Another reason to dislike Slive. Although it is coming from Jacques Doucet, he likes to stir up crap too so take it with a grain of salt.

While you're technically quoting two different situations, I'm 100% with you nonetheless and your actual argument is valid. It's the bowls, not the SEC, who are more affected by the revenue from the game. It's the bowls, not the SEC, who get to pick the teams that participate. I get what the SEC is doing (I think), but it's bogus.
