Lsumatt - what's your assessment after the coaches poll? Who come up at #2?

This is a quote from an article by Scott Rabalais about a week ago. He describes a scenario where South Carolina would potentially be the SECCG loser at 9-4

This year, the potential road block is the fact that the Cotton is contractually obligated to take the loser of the SEC Championship Game if it’s passed over as a BCS at-large team or the Capital One. Once every four years, the Cap One, Outback, Chick-fil-A and Cotton have to take turns as the “Safety Net Bowl.” And this year, it’s the Cotton’s turn, according to SEC and former LSU spokesman Herb Vincent. No way that happens, you say. Well, how about this scenario: Missouri loses Saturday to Texas A&M, putting South Carolina in the SEC Championship Game at 9-3 despite a nonconference loss by the Gamecocks on Saturday to archrival Clemson. South Carolina then gets hammered by Alabama (assuming a win over Auburn in the Iron Bowl) in Atlanta. Under that scenario, Alabama is 13-0 and BCS championship game-bound. Missouri and Auburn are both 10-2, with one likely headed to the Sugar Bowl and the other likely to the Cap One. The Outback could pick 9-4 South Carolina, but it prefers LSU or Texas A&M at 9-3. That leaves the Cotton to save a seat for the Gamecocks.

Good stuff as always, lsumatt.
One more thing to consider: LSU may not be an option for the Cap One. The new "safety net rule may over ride this - but, the Cap One used to be limited to the SEC CG loser or a team within one win of the SEC CG loser.
That would leave Auburn/Mizzou loser or USC for the Cap One.
