    I just say this on the Fox Sports Channel. If Tennesse locks in a Capital One Bowl bid then the SEC Chamionship Game loser will get screwed and get sent to the Peach Bowl. I would think Peach Bowl would not be interested in Tennessee since they were there last year.

    All of the Bowls are filling up fast. Am I the only one getting the very uncomfortable feeling that, if we lose to Georgia, we will end up in Shreveport?

    Just shows what a Joke the BCS really is.

    We're ranked #3, Georgia #5.........

    Whoever loses this game, NO way should they go to the Peach
    Bowl or anything less than a date in January.

    When we beat UT 2 years ago they went to a January bowl.

    What a Forest all this is.............

    I think people need to riot if something like that happens.

    Something has to be done to fix this nonsense
    :(

    On Paul Finebaum tonight he said TENN. would be in the peach bowl. He seemed very sure. If this is true LSU , GA. LOSER WOULD BE IN capital one bowl.

    If LSU or Georgia went to the Peach Bowl both would literally kill Clemson.....Georgia has already done it once, and if this happens it will be done again.

    I dont particularly care for the BCS, but I fail to see how it has anything to do with this. If it does happen, it will be only the second time since the inception of the BCS that an SECCG loser has fallen out of a New Years Day bowl. As a matter of fact, the last year prior to the BCS (1997) saw this exact scenario. Auburn lost to Tennessee in the SECCG and ended up in the Peach. It also happened in 1995 when Arkansas, who lost to Florida in the SECCG, ended up in the Carquest Bowl. It also happened to Florida in 1992 and Alabama in 1993. If anything, the advent of the SECCG should be faulted.

    So to recap, prior to the BCS, the loser of the SECCG had dropped out of a New Years Day bowl 4 times: 1992, 1993, 1995, and 1997. Thats 4 times in 6 years. Yet, in the 5 years of the BCS, it has only happened once: Arkansas last year.
