From CNNSI; SI.com - Writers - Stewart Mandel's Bowl Projections - Monday November 13, 2006 11:58AM

UT vs Penn State Outback Bowl

FL vs Wisconsin Capital One

Ark vs Notre Dame Sugar Bowl

LSU vs Nebraska Cotton Bowl

I hate the BCS more every year. The SEC runner up isnt even projected into a BCS bowl anymore, but Wake Forest and Rutgers get into the Orange Bowl. Boise State gets to play Texas in the Fiesta Bowl.

If the Vols win out it will be the Outback. Don't forget that the Chick-fil-A/Peach picks ahead of the Outback.

It can't be surprising that the SEC runner-up isn't projected into a BCS bowl, since no loser of that game has EVER made it into a BCS game. And there isn't a one-loss SEC team sitting on the outside of that game, like there frequently is.

I just noted in another thread that the Atlanta newspaper reported that Georgia has been told that they will be invited to the Chick-fil-a/Peach if they beat Georgia Tech. It's possible that we end up there against the loser of the ACC championship game if Tech beats Georgia.

I just don't want to have to get up at dawn's crack on New Year's Day for the Cotton Bowl again. Argh!

If Georgia gets invited to the Peach Bowl there will be one team that is going to get screwed big time. The winner of the SECCG gets the auto-bid to the BCS and UGA going to the Peach Bowl would leave, the loser of the SECCG, LSU, Auburn, UT to occupy spots in the Capital One, Outback, and Cotton. One of those four teams would have to take a spot in the Music City or Independece or whatever has the next choice. The way our luck goes with Bowl selections that scares the hell out of me.

I love how 2 Big East teams get BCS Bowls, Rutgers in the Orange Bowl, and West Virginia in the Rose Bowl and the SEC, the toughest conference gets One BCS team. Isn't the BCS the best?

I wish I were kidding. Here's the link, though this article doesn't make it sound like the done deal that was being reported on the radio here. In any event, it would help tremendously if Georgia loses that game next Saturday.

I think we would be the Peach Bowl's last choice.

Auburn looks slated for the Outback and the Peach Bowl bowl wants Georgia.

So UT goes to the Music City Bowl?

While Boise State is playing in a BCS bowl?

Why would a 2 loss Texas team get into a BCS over a 1 loss SEC at large. Those are just projections. The BCS computers could not generate such hapless intelligence.

Texas would be Big 12 champ. And exactly what 1 loss SEC at large team are you referring to?

well Texas is coming in as the Big XII champ. I'm surprised Nebraska gets in though

The Tennessean has a story today that the Peach is interested in UT.

Interesting that the Peach is telling The Tennessean that they're interested in the Vols while simultaneously telling the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that they're interested in Georgia. The Bulldog Nation down here is taking it as gospel that they're in if they beat the Jackets.

Let's hope Georgia Tech beats them, making it a moot point. Our luck in the bowl selection process has not been good in recent years.

If Texas wins the Big12 game. KState knocked 'em around.

Right now there are two 1 loss SEC. UF, Ark. Either of which is subject to not be before they meet in the SECCG. At which point outside the winner of that game, no other SEC team will have less than 2 losses, and therefore will not get into a BCS. A 2 loss SEC team will not see any BCS, in any season. Maybe from another conference, but not the SEC.

My point exactly as far as the 1 loss SEC teams. The other guy thinks that there will be some magical 1-Loss SEC team that should be in the BCS. As for Texas, the website has them listed in the BCS. The only way that I see that happening is if they win the Big 12 championship, that is why I said that they will be Big 12 champs if they are in the BCS, earning an automatic bid not an at-large bid.
