    Looks like OU has been pushed out of the BCS and headed to Cotton. Now A&M or LSU could be the pick to face them. Cotton has been getting pressure from the SEC to take UGA but before the news about NIU they were still looking to pick LSU. If they pick A&M we are likely headed for a Clemson matchup.

    Just curious... why wouldn't the SEC be pressuring the Capital One Bowl to take Georgia? More prestigous bowl and better geographic fit.

    Cotton has taken the prestige away from Cap One. New Stadium and I believe the only prime time game of the night. I believe more money too.

    Beginning to look like we're going to be in Atlanta New Years Eve.

    The Rose could be interesting depending upon which Badger team shows up.

    Could be a great game but no pregame hype for me. Other match ups FSU/NIU and UF/NIU

    Georgia vs Nebraska in the cap. Wow, talk about 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct.

    Only game I am interested in is LSU Clemson. Show those bitches who the real Tigers are. All the other games interest me none.
