I Bowl (Shreveport) NOLA Bowl (New Orleans) Go Daddy Bowl (Mobile)

BIG GAME TONIGHT:

MISS STATE vs. OLE MISS - (Two reasons-#1 if MS State wins they will go to the I BOWL. If Ole Miss wins I BOWL is still open for an at large on the SEC Side. #2 - If MS State loses they may fire Mullen and come calling for HUD)

And Elijah McGuire will likely leave to play at MSU for HUD. DOUBLE WHAMMY!!!

He is being fecitious

I Bowl gets 10th SEC team, but they only have nine left after they send their BCS team. I BOWL still open.

[Cajun Monkee]

Well I BOWL is now out as there will be no at large opening. ACC spot is filled and MS State at 6-6 took the SEC to 10 Bowl Eligible teams filling the other side of the I BOWL. I just don't see us in the GO DADDY Bowl.
NOLA Bowl here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEC has 11 bowl slots and only 10 eligible.

Mississippi State isn't a lock for Shreveport.

Playing Tulane will do jack s..t for our program, they are terrible this year and have played a weak schedule. Is there any way we play a better quality team........... or is there a way we can help lobby the NOLA Bowl to stay away from Tulame

[Cajun Monkee]

Unless the national championship game ends up between Florida state and ohio state

[oldalum]

No, it just means we (or anyone else) cannot go outside of the commissioner and negotiate. As long as the SBC commissioner is included, deals can be made. This just prevents programs from excluding the commissioner. That way, the commissioner is held ultimately responsible to all member presidents.

Each team evaluates and negotiates with bowls offering invites... but to stay within the rules... the commissioner is included. He wants to make sure he gets in a suite and gets fine wine and dining.

Thanks for the explanation!

In reality, we haven't played a great schedule either.

[oldalum]

I'm sure unt and middle don't want to play us either, you think their fans would be excited about traveling to watch that game? The bowls are aware of this, they will try their hardest to get us a good matchup and vice versa

The UNT people basically have a choice of HEART OF DALLAS or NOLA BOWL. I promise that the people of Denton (a Dallas suburb) have no desire for the game to be in their own back yard. They would much prefer for it to be in NOLA.

We beat who we were suppose to beat.
