if Mizzou losses and they are still available for the outback they would take them.
it's the safety net rule with Cotton being bowl game this year

I wish more people would realize this.
We need a stickied bowl prediction thread.

what? makes no sense
cap one gets first pick after BCS
followed by Outback and Cotton. If Cotton wants to go East they must wait till Outback takes a team, If Outback wants West they must wait till outback takes a team. If cap one takes USCe it would make sense that the outback would take Mizzou because they are the best East team available and they are better than the best West ream so they have no point of trying to go SEC west.
If Auburn wins we are going cotton, only if somehow cotton takes aTm for some stupid reason.
note: I could see us going to outback with this scenario
MIzzou wins
Cap one takes USCe
Cotton take Auburn
Outback takes LSU
but I don't see why Cap one takes a 2 loss USCe over a 2 loss top 10 Auburn.

you edited this after you posted this so sorry I missed this
so this throws a wrench in this.
So this could happen
Auburn wins goes to Sugar or BCSNC
Bama goes to Orange
Now Mizzou and USCe are tied with 2 losses each.
Mizzou won the East USCe travels better and beat a good Clemson team. But Mizzou will probably be top 8 best 2 loss team possibly.
So I say its a coin toss with the cap one bowl.
Now if the cap one goes Mizzou than Outback takes USCe and Cotton LSU
but if the cap one takes USCe, Cotton (what I thought wasn't possible but now with this new insight my prediction changes) must take Mizzou.
So now the Outback is next They have LSU (9-3) Georgia (8-4) Texas A&M (8-4) Vandy (8-4)
LSU is the obvious choice for this but does the outback pick a west team who never picks anyone from the west? Hmmmmmmm
I think aTm is out of this picture if the Outback went west they would pick LSU over aTm. I think Vandy while they have an outside chance probably won't go here, doesn't travel well enough. Georiga just had an impressive comeback vs Georgia Tech that may make this team intriguing despite not having Murray.
So While LSU seems like the obvious pick Outback may screw us and pick Georgia
so lets say this happens Well we screwed.
LSU will probably go to the chicken in this case which everyone would hate.
If we went to the Gator Bowl somehow the chicken bowl would want to pass on us if we are still there somehow.
Cap one has a large role in this season.
If the Cap one takes USCe than Auburn or Mizzou goes to Cotton, and does the outback take LSU or do they pass on us.
if we somehow fall to the chicken bowl I think we should reject the invitation and protest the bowl system. It would be crap if we somehow fall to the 5th best SEC bowl when we should be going to cotton.
