AU should not go to the Outback over UT, UK, or even UGA. UGA or UT should be in the Outback bowl.UGA beat them head to head and just beat the #7 team in the nation. Who has AU beaten. This makes it hard on fans when they dont stick to the order they are to pick teams. Ole Miss should not even be in the Cotton bowl. When was the last time a team from the east played in the Cotton bowl?

Here’s hoping geography wins out even further and puts Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl and Ole Miss in the Liberty Bowl. Not likely.

You make an excellent point about geography, and in this economic climate that may play a key role. Georgia to Chick-Fil-A, in the state of Georgia. Tennessee to Music City, in the state of Tennessee.

Welp, you touched on the problem these officials face, but you stopped short of the real situation. Even though AU lost to KY, why would they take KY over UT since UT beat KY. Then again, why would they take UT over AU since AU beat UT…see the problem. No matter which 7-5 team they pick, there’s another one getting the shaft. So I guess it comes down to geography. Auburn is much close to Tampa than either KY or UT…AND AU probably has more fan in the state of FL than either of the other schools too.

Don’t know if it’ll happen, but here’s hoping.

War Eagle!!!
