SEC will decide this year from the group of bowls:
Outback - LSU will not go here since they went last year
Tax Slayer - possible with Nebraska as opponent
Belk - doutbful
Music City - possible but more likely Tenn or USC
Liberty - very possible
Texas - it's probably A&M's to turn down but how do you turn a Texas matchup down and you know ESPN wants it

Outside of that the Indy (would be last resort but I can't see 6 win teams passing LSU and how can SEC do that) and Birmingham are available if SEC qualifies enough

Well, all 7 teams in the West are bowl-eligible already, so I really don't see this as being an issue.

There will be no Texas/A&M match up in the Texas Bowl no matter now much ESPN wants it. If the Cotton Bowl couldn't make it happen 2 years ago, it ain't gonna happen in the Texas Bowl. There is still too much bad blood between the schools.

I am hoping that LSU has been touting our large alumni base in Houston as a reason for the Texas Bowl folks to choose us over the Aggies. LSU fans will stay in Houston hotels; the Aggies will just drive in for the game. If Joe Alleva gives a crap about selling tickets, then he's praying that the SEC sends us to Houston. Otherwise, LSU will have to eat the cost of a ton of unsold bowl tickets for the 3rd year in a row.

So LSU wouldn't play in the same bowl two years in a row? Why is this ? I would think they would want a New Years bowl.
