re: looking like lsu vs iowa (or Michigan St) in outback bowl

can someone explain what this means?

yes

after the BCS

the cotton and the outback have the second choice.

If the cotton wants to pick an east team they must wait for the outback to pick

if the outback wants to pick a west team they must wait for the cotton to pick.

So understanding these rules lets look at the scenarios

scenario one cap 1 takes USCe no matter the SECCG loser

Cap one USCe
Cotton Auburn if they lose, LSU if Mizzou loses
Outback Mizzou if they lose, maybe LSU or Georgia not sure what way Outback would go if both Mizzou and USCe are gone and they have to chose between LSU and Georgia who knows what will happen

Scenario two Cap 1 takes SECCG loser
Cap one Auburn/Mizzou
Cotton LSU
Outback USCe

LSU has an outside should of matking the outback if Auburn loses the SECCG and cap one takes USCe

but I doubt LSU goes there based on the history of these bowls and the rules.
