Bowls not obligated to take anyone

They can pick whichever team they want that is bowl eligible

I'm saying carolina because I think they will have highest ranking after next week

Rouge. Ranking means squat when the bowls pick. There is a reason we have been in Dallas so much and the bowls are regional.

If something sells, you don't change for the sake of changing it. SC wouldn't bring close to what LSU would bring to Dallas for the cotton.

All about money.

For the same reason, the Aggies would have a leg up if they were viable.

Also the same reason SC gets outback or peach.

Cotton Bowl is obligated to take the SECCG loser if it goes past the BCS Selection round and Cap One round.

USA Today

quote:
This year it is the Cotton Bowl's turn, by contract with the SEC, to take the loser of the SEC Championship Game should it still be available after the BCS bowl selections and the Capital One selection.

In this scenario, either Auburn/Mizzou loser goes to Cotton with the winner either in the BCSCG/Sugar Bowl.

Bama will either be in the Sugar Bowl/another non BCSCG BCS Bowl

I am assuming South Carolina/SECCG loser gets the Capital One.

We're the only 3-loss the in the SECCG, and i'd have to assume we'd go to the Outback Bowl.

We're in Cotton or Outback I think.

If the Cotton passes and Outback is real dicks about only picking SEC-E team, UGA would be here, and we'd fall to Chicken.
