lol cotton bowl

Yeah, that one's a whiff unless they're assuming we lose one of our next two.

 

[Vol_in_NC_1999]

SI currently has USC in the playoff.

 

[vollygirl]

I guess I'll take the Fiesta Bowl so we can beat tosu. Then we'll go to Cali and beat georgia.

I look at CBS Sports now more than ESPN because you have to pay to read any of the decent ESPN articles.

When I see us matched against K. State, it literally sends shivers down my spine. Was at that beat down. I've never been so damned cold in my life. Said I'd never go back. I'd rather see us playing a higher profile game/opponent to be honest.

Yep. That would be a dream scenario. I don't want UGA in a 1 vs 4 matchup. I'd rather get 'em when it's for the whole ball of wax....assuming we can get by OSU. They've got the talent to do what UGA did so it certainly won't be a walk in the park.

Alex, I’ll take 247 Sports for $400 please.

Fiesta Bowl against Michigan would be cool

Cotton bowl? I drove to that craptastic game we actually met a lot of Kansas State players after that game. It was one helluva drive that year with all the ice and snow.

SI currently has USC in the playoff.

SI hasn’t been relevant since mid 2000s

 

[Winchester73]

Is SI a joke or did they just print this to see if anyone is awake ? What happened to the Orange Bowl possibility ? Are they saying we’re the 4th best SEC team behind Ga Bama and LSU ?

 

[Volholic]

I’d love to see us beat TOSU and shut them the eff up.

Is that SI’s preseason pick?

 

[Jeff Clark]

Is that SI’s preseason pick?

There would be interesting buildup to that game

 

[JBVolunteer]

Actually, if Tennessee does not make the CFP; we would be in the Cotton Bowl as the 1st team not taken by the committee. The Cotton Bowl participants are actually selected by the playoff committee.

The Sugar Bowl would be better

Sounds about right. Big tradition school that’s always gonna get a boost in the rankings because of their name.

 

[I Love Lamp]

Fiesta Bowl against Michigan would be cool

I would love Michigan first round. We are a bad matchup for them.

 

[Volosaurus rex]

Not to mention playing Georgia in the Peach Bowl would hardly qualify as playing them on a neutral field. For all practical purposes, it would be tantamount to another home game for UGA.

 

[Sudden Impact]

SI currently has USC in the playoff.

BVS is alive and well for you. You looked at 6 selections and take the worse case with USC. The only one that does not have us in the CFP and you choose to talk about that particular selection.

I pointed this out in another thread, but that is patently false with the way tickets are distributed.

 

[Daniel_Lincolns_Foot]

SI definitely using the "how can we get the most people talking about OUR predictions" method for Bowl Selection.

 

[Daniel_Lincolns_Foot]

The Sugar Bowl would be better

I'd actually take 1pm on Jan 2 in the Cotton Bowl over noon on NYE in the Sugar Bowl.

Something about the fact they have to move the Sugar Bowl time this year just makes it seem like an afterthought. It's meant for primetime, baby!
