LSU deserves it over Auburn IMO.

Sure you can say Auburn beat them so they should go, but seriously, LSU is playing much better as of now.

They have been screwed royally by the BCS twice. Thats twice to many.

When you're 10-2 and don't get into the BCS, it's not being "screwed royally." Maybe if they had shown up for 2 games instead being blown out, they'd have an argument. As of right now, it's not Notre Dame's fault that there is a rule not allowing more than 2 teams from the same conference into the BCS.

LSU, Florida, and Arkansas are all more deserving than Auburn.

well i'm sure auburn is still somewhat in the running, but i saw in a paper that the capone didn't want a rematch of last year's game. I'm sure they're still being entertained as possibilities though. Not to mention, the auburn reps could have just pulled out all the Cap one merchandise from last year to look good in front of them. I wouldn't be too worried about that yet

Who knows, they may have been coming in to Orlando to try to butter up the Capital One comittee. Guess we'll find out in a couple days either way.

Who's to say that the bag tag isn't from one of the past Capital One Bowls?

Interesting that they are there, but not dispositive.

At 10-2, it is a shame if they are having to lobby themselves INTO the C1B. Seems like it should be vice-versa, no?

Florida wins- we play in Citrus
Florida losses- we play in Outback

Auburn WILL NOT play in the Citrus Bowl again.

LSU and Auburn should both get BCS bowls. At least 3 teams from the SEC should get BCS bowl IMO.

Auburn has beaten 2 teams in the top 10, they are ranked 11th in both polls and much more deserving then Boise St or ND.

The BCS should pick the best 12 teams in the nation regardless of conference.

I don't disagree in theory, but the fact is that the rules aren't set up that way. Therefore, Auburn shouldn't get in.

Nah, the Outback is a straighter shot down 75. You have to take the Turnpike to Orlando.

Besides, I wouldn't root for the Gators if they were playing Satan's minions for the souls of all the people in the world.

It probably was. They were wearing matching Auburn outfits so either they were swinging with each other or going to lobby.

I want UT to play the best team available, not the worst.

Wisconsin is deserving of a BCS bowl this year, PSU has beaten one team with a winning record and isnt ranked for the obvious reasons.

Good to know that Penn St. is the worst team available, I wasn't aware of that.

UT has only been projected in 4 bowls that I am aware of, Capital 1, Cotton, Outback, Chick Fillet.

Even the Chick Fillet Bowl has no. 15 Virginia Tech Projected as the ACC team. They are much better then no. 29 PSU.

This is the worst competion I have seen for a Bowl UT is projected to play in. Even the Music City Bowl is projecting either no. 16 Wake Forrest or no. 25 Boston College.

I won't argue that Wisconsin is better than PSU because they are. However, any team from the ACC ranked in the Top 25 after the year that conference has had is a joke. Me and you could play by ourselves and field a Top 25 team in the ACC. I think that a Penn St. vs. Tennessee match-up is more attractive than Wisconsin vs. Tennessee. Regardless of what happens, I am just happy to be back in a bowl game this year.

i'll take the extra weeks of practice and a rout in the Outback Bowl anyday of the week.

Exactly. I would much rather have a win, possibly even a big win, over a big name team like Penn St. than a close win or a loss to Wisconsin.
