my $.02…
- If anything, VOLS are getting screwed by being bumped by bama for Sugar Bowl via CFP committee (we‘re clearly #2 team in SEC since we beat Bama head-head and have same conference record). Only if LSU beats UGA should VOLS not play in New Orleans.
- Given above, it makes it all the more aggravating that this same CFP committee (by their rankings) May bump us from Orange/matchup with ACC champion ( I would enjoy watching UT v. Clemson and I think it would help with recruiting in NC/SC region),
- I’d prefer to play a P5 opponent than a G5 opponent given the breakout year our team has created.
- I did have a good time at 89 Cotton Bowl VOLS vs Arkansas… Jerry World probably a nice venue too.
Per second point (above), that’s why I’d suggest letting the world know that Rose Bowl is just another sh*t bowl as evidenced by OSU saying “no-thanks.” In other words, I think the former “appeal/history“ of the Rose Bowl is irrelevant now given actions of both USC and UCLA to leave PAC12 and B10 non-CFP runner-up telling this former ”prestige” venue that they weren’t interested. Let’s all pray the Sugar Bowl doesn’t suffer the same fate…
