re: Navigating the bowl picture

It's funny, I posted months ago that the SECCG potentially was a liability to the SEC in as far putting teams in the 1 or 2 BCS slot. More harm than good comes out of that game. There is no point in having two teams play each other twice in the same year.
In fact, look at all the conf championship games. Boring for most part, many many empty seats in some.
I'd prefer that the West champ and the East champ are compared and a series of tiebreakers come into play:
* head to head
* record against common opponents
* cumulative BCS points of common opponents
etc, etc
Whoever wins the tiebreak is the SEC champion. No extra game. And it's one less game for SEC teams to browbeat one another.

Keep dreaming. Your idea makes logical sense but no way is the cash cow SECCG going away.

I don't think the problem is that there is an SEC Championship. The problem is that there is an SEC Championship game in a system that has flaws on multiple levels.
A proper playoff system would alleviate some, but I think there needs to be more common sense when it comes to teams like Florida this year and Alabama last year. If you don't make it into your conference championship, then you should be in the back of the line when BCS bowls are selecting teams.
But more on point with the original intent of the topic, I might be the only LSU fan that won't be devastated if we go to the Peach instead of the Cotton. They sell friggin Chick fila sandwiches at the game!
