re: Who gets a better bowl: A&M or LSU?

I think no matter what happens in the upcoming weeks two SEC teams will be in the BCS

I think Auburn has a great shot at being an at-large in the BCS no matter if they win or lose the iron bowl. They will be top 10 and depending on what happens with Mizzou will be the 2nd best team in the SEC. The LSU loss hurts them but I think they are good enough to go to the BCS

If Auburn wins out they have an inside track to the national championship. Here is why 1) Ohio State while unbeaten isn't impressive, an Auburn win against the 2 time defending national champs and #1 team in the land might be enough for them to jump OSU and make it to the national championship. Bama goes to Suguar

Mizzou also has an inside track to the title but is less likely I think than auburn. If bama beats auburn but Mizzou beats Bama they will have beaten the #1 team in the land and could jump an unimpressive OSU team.

but the way this season is unfolding I think there is a good chance two SEC teams are in BCS bowls it happens almost every year.

If Mizzou and Bama are in the BCS Auburn goes to the cotton I'm guessing LSU to Cap one or Chicken bowl

If Auburn and Bama are in the BCS LSU goes to the cotton bowl, I don't see how the cotton would pick a Mizzou or a USCe over LSU.

with the exception of Auburn beating bama an than losing in the SEC championship game, Bama is going to a BCS bowl game. Auburn doesn't make it to the BCS if Bama blows them out or the SEC east wins the championship. The point is the most likely scenario is that there will be two SEC west teams representing the SEC in the BCS one as an at-large the other the champ. This should send LSU to the Cotton bowl because of the way things fall.
