    If the Tigers finish out the year at 11-1 and SEC Champions, but finish out of the National Championship game and the USC Trojans make the National Championship the possibilities are there. This would be awesome exposure for our football program. Sure, the Orange and Fiesta would also be great, but the Rose would be on an entirely different level.

    From what I have been reading is the Fiest Bowl seems the most interested. They have already been at two of our home games. I am begining to think that Fiesta is our bowl as long as we win the SEC.

    I personally think the Rose Bowl is overhyped, but maybe I'm saying that because it's a Pac 10, Big 10 game. Don't like either of those conferences.

    I dont like the Rose Bowl. The Old Pas area is not very good. The bars suck. On the other hand out side that area are great bars Santa Monica, West Wood, Hollywood. It is a ton of driving and traffic is bad.

    Fiesta Bowl everything is right in Tempe hotels great bars the stadium. Traffic is not as bad.

    Would we be the first SEC team to win the Rose Bowl, or even play in it?

    Both of them were. Tulane dropped out right around the time the Superdome was built and Ga Tech did so a few years before that to join the newly formed ACC, which I think was founded in 1952.
