Yeah, I'd much rather play PSU. I also wouldn't mind to play OU in the Cotton Bowl, but that will likely go to LSU or Aubbie.

The Foxsports.com bowl projections had UT/OU in Cotton. I'd like that matchup. Anything but the Music City (or [hold your nose] Liberty!) . . .

it's really kind of simple..if two teams from the SEC go to the BCS, we should wind up in the Outback. If not, it's likely the Peach. I think the Peach would rather have someone else come, and is probably hoping that TN goes tothe outback so they can choose Auburn or GA.

In the order i think the Bowls would want to select based on who might be available: (1st choice/2nd choice/3rd choice)
UF 1/ARK 2-Sugar
ARK 1/LSU 2-Cotton
FL 1/LSU 2/ARK 3-Capital one
TN 1/Auburn 2--outback
Auburn 1/GA 2/TN 3--Peach
GA 1/SC 2/Bama 3-- music city
Ga 1/SC 2-- Independence
Bama 1/SC 2-liberty
KY-????
Just my opinion...the peach could take GA in lieu of us. and if the outback takes Auburn, then they may in fact do that. If we go to the outback, i can't believe the peach wouldn't want Auburn.

Virgina Tech? hm. interesting. that defense when playing well is tough...and that RB they got...Ore...he can be a handful. that would probably be a really good game.

Even though I'll be able to go to the bowl because I live in Atlanta...that f'n sucks. Im SICK of us playing at the Peach Bowl! And Im more sick of us losing at the Ga Dome.

get used to it. there's rotation of bowls that we will always be playing in because of the SEC tie ins to certain bowls.

if it's not hte Peach, it's the Citrius, or the Cotton or the outback.

the only one we haven't played in regularly is the Outback bowl...the others, we've been in fairly regularly.

the only way to change up the bowls for us is to win the SEC and go to the BCS or finish 5th or 6th or worse and go to the Music City, Ind or Liberty.

o/t than that expect a lot of trips to Orlando, Tampa and Atlanta.

I don't get it. What is wrong with the Peach/Chic fil a Bowl. The last time we were there against Clemson, I had a blast (except for the loss). What a great place to have a bowl. If we play VTech, it will be one of the best bowl games on. Tech fans travel really well and so do we. That place will be going nuts.

I just don't get the negative attitudes.

The reasons for what you perceive as "negative attitudes":
1. Atlanta is a festering cesspool of a city.
2. Who cares about playing a middle of the road team from a sorry conference?

"A festuring cesspool of a city":rofl:

I kinda agree with that one however, I don't trudge through the hood to get to the game. We stayed at the Embassy Suites at Olympic Park, ate at RuthChris's steak house and walked a short hop through the CNN building to the game. It was fun.

As far as VTech being a poor opponent from a crappy conference, I have to disagree. Right now, I am not sure who would win the game. I was at the VTech/Wake game and Tech made them look stupid. Wakes only loss was Clemson and they were beating them silly until the blocked FG. Besides, if your not in the BCS, then why not just play a team that travels well and likes to have as good a time as we in the Volnation do? Just my opinion.

I attended the '94 Gator Bowl. That's enough interaction with Va Tech fans for me.

That's a little harsh, but that's hat. I'd say that
1) Atlanta isn't my favorite city
2) I can't play golf or sip toddies by the beach in Atlanta in the middle of winter
3) The bowl is named after a chicken sandwich
4) The bowl has always been considered a notch below the Capital One, Cotton, and even the Outback
5) The bowl is named after a chicken sandwich

On the positive side, it would beat last year's postseason by a significant margin, and I have a friend in Atlanta who would come to the game. This would be unremarkable except for the fact that she once appeared in Playboy.

Cotton, Outback, or Peach Bowl....Peach Bowl is more than likely what we get is my guess, may sneak into the cotton bowl

Is AP playing in the Bowl game for Oklahoma...if that's who we end up playing in the Cotton Bowl? If he's back he may tear us apart running this ball

If the SEC gets two teams in the BCS, we're in the Outback. If not, it depends on the UGA/Ga Tech game. A Ga Tech win and we're in the Peach. A UGA win and we're in the Music City.

someone said the Music City bowl is a "slap on the face". I don't know. Is there any possibility we would go to Cotton? I have no idea how this thing works.

It's not overpriced, people will actually pay big money to live here. That's how the free market works. Atlanta, on the other hand, has a relatively low cost of living because you'd have to pay most sane people to live in The World's Largest Urban Renewal Disaster.

Atlanta should have been left as it was when Sherman was done marching through. That would be a huge improvement over its current state. It makes Branson East seem almost acceptable.

Each of the Bowls that have tie ins with the SEC get to pick from the list of bowl eligible teams from the confrence starting with the highest tie in bowl and working their way down. The Cotton is a remote possibility, although I'd say it's very remote. These are the possibilities the way I have it figured:

If the SEC gets two teams in the BCS:
BCS 1: Florida/Arkansas
BCS 2: Florida/Arkansas/LSU
Capital One: Florida/Arkansas/LSU
Cotton: Auburn/Tennessee
Outback: Auburn/Tennessee
Chick Fil A: Georgia
Music City: Kentucky/Alabama
Independence: Kentucky/Alabama
Liberty: South Carolina

If the SEC gets one team in the BCS:
BCS: Florida/Arkansas
Capital One: Florida/Arkansas/LSU
Cotton: LSU/Arkansas/Auburn
Outback: Auburn/LSU
Chick Fil A: Georgia/Tennessee
Music City: Georgia/Tennessee
Independence: Kentucky/Alabama/South Carolina
Liberty: Kentucky/Alabama/South Carolina
