Favorite non-bcs bowl (SEC Bowls)

[duckman398686]

I'll vote capital one. I think it's the best non-bcs bowl out there.

 

[Vols4life]

I voted Capitol One as well I enjoy seeing the SEC playing the slow Big 10

I voted Cotton, not because I think that it is the best. Just trying to stay optimistic here.

 

[Volstorm]

I voted other, because we had better luck when it was still called the Citrus Bowl (and yes I know it's the Capital One bowl)

The Cotton Bowl 'used' to be one of the top 4 bowls until the Fiesta bought their way in. So much for the tradition they keep pushing down everybody's throats when the playoff discussion comes up. :blink: The Cotton Bowl ($3 mil) is still 2nd only to the Citrus Bowl ($5.125 mil) in team payouts.

Truly, I have had it with the Peach too. My Gator buddies have been grilling about the peach bowl for 2 years now. I am so glad that UF is going to be there this year. What justice! :good:

I voted other , don't care which 1 we go to as long as we show up and play like we are supposed to , not like the last 2 yrs phoning it in.

I saw a discussion about this on ESPN yesterday and was surprised when Woody Paige picked the Cotton Bowl as one of the best non-BCS bowls because he said he went to school at Tennessee.

Finebaum, Woody Paige . . . what is it with UT turning out all these loudmouthed sportswriters???

Well I hate to admit it but I voted Peach....we attended both Peach bowl games, even though we lost, we had a great time in Hotlanta.....Fanfest was great.....never been to the capital one bowl.....

I've been wondering for years how the Cotton got moved out and the Fiesta made it in. I can remember not all that long ago when an invitation to the Cotton Bowl was a huge deal.

I voted for the Cotton, because it and the Sugar were my favorite to watch when I was a kid.

Sad that it has lost its prestige. I'm hoping the new stadium and maybe a better game time will help it in the near future.

The Vols have been to more Sugar and Cotton bowls than any others.

I enjoyed the Capitol One, then the Outback.

Tampa is a good place to be this time of year. . . .great stadium, as well, so I'll go with the Outback.
