Official SEC Bowl Thread

[Djshockley3]

That UGA might not play West Virginia in the Sugar,and they FSU or somebody else?

[GeorgiaPride]

It is a lock that we play West Virginia!!1

[Djshockley3]

It is a lock that we play West Virginia!!1


I thought it was,just trying to make sure.

[GatorHunter]

Go ahead and pencil a "W" for the Sugar Bowl....UWV is terrible....GO DAWGS! Great win for the EAST!

[Dr. Pepper]

The Atlanta Journal indicates that LSU is lobbying the Cotton Bowl to take them. That might throw an interesting wrinkle into things. If the Cotton takes LSU, then will the Peach consider USC over Alabama? I know they beat us, but WE BEAT FLORIDA.

FSU goes to the Orange. What a joke. I know they earned it by winning the championship, but they have to be the most undeserving BCS team.

CBSsportsline has USC playing Missouri in the Indy. Thoughts about that matchup?

[JerryBeeds]

The BCS selection show is on ABC at 5. The bowl selection show is on ESPN at 6. I think we'll pound Missouri, but you never know. Alot of teams play their best football in bowl games.

[blues_cap]

beeds, is that your band? that one song i heard had a nice little tune to it. reminds me of a mixture of sublime and bob marley.

No. It's my best friend's band. Just trying to spread the word. :)

Missouri has a pretty good QB. He can run and throw really well, but I think we can handle them easily.

From what I hear, Alabama's pretty much got a lock on the Cotton Bowl, so I don't think your scenario will pan out. Where will LSU end up though? Their loss last night probably raised a lot of eyebrows of the bowl selectors, keeping things stirred up at the last minute.

[scfan5338]

Independence Bowl: Missouri vs. South Carolina
Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl: Virginia Tech vs. LSU
Outback Bowl: Michigan vs. Florida
Cotton Bowl: Texas Tech vs. Alabama
Capital One Bowl: Wisconsin vs. Auburn
Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. West Virginia


Peach Bowl is going to be a really good one. Two power house from the SEC and ACC who choked towards the end.

[Dr. Pepper]

I am not slamming Bama. Just pointing out that beating someone obviously means very little in the grand scheme of things.

[TigerFanatic]

were gonna end up in the damned peach bowl, i know it :(

[JerryBeeds]

were gonna end up in the damned peach bowl, i know it :(
But you'll be playing 10-2 Va. Tech most likely. That should be the highest ranked teams playing each other in a non-BCS bowl. I'm looking forward to it should it come to fruition.

[nooneLT]

oh, i thought your post was intending to say since USC beat florida they should be considered over Bama. my mistake.

LSU coaches also flew to dallas before the SECCG to lobby the cotton "incase" they lost the game. it might seem that Bama is a lock for the cotton but i'm not so sure.

[cocky4ever]

But you'll be playing 10-2 Va. Tech most likely. That should be the highest ranked teams playing each other in a non-BCS bowl. I'm looking forward to it should it come to fruition.
Well, now I dont feel so bad about our probable trip to Shreveport. I would NOT want to go up against Va. Tech this year.

[GatorNation]

With the way VT played last night, bama's defense should have no problem.

[GeorgiaPride]

Rose
USC vs TEXAS

Orange
PENN STATE vs FLORIDA STATE

Fiesta
OHIO STATE vs NOTRE DAME

Sugar
GEORGIA vs WEST VIRGINIA

No controversy between Ohio State, Oregon and Notre Dame based on contract agreements.

[TigerFanatic]

NOT WORK SAFE


this is so f'ed up its disgusting. Ohio state in the fiesta bowl... again? for the love of god, against Notre Dame?

FLORIDA STATE IS RANKED 22ND IN THE NATION WITH FOUR LOSSES and they are allowed to play in a bowl worth millions? THEY ARE 2 DAMNED LOSSES FROM EVEN BEING ELIGABLE. this is the most disgusting s--t i've ever heard of, I for one will NOT be watching this trash a month from now. god i'm pissed...

Watch the language, Tiger. Thanks. - GN

[SilverBritches]

The Rose Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl are going to be awesome games. PSU will wipe the floor with FSU in the Orange. I hope Georgia will do the same with West Virginia.

[TigerFanatic]

looks like miami and LSU in the peach bowl...


didn't a predict that a few weeks back?

I agree about Ohio State. It seems like they have been there about a billion times. FSU well they got lucky. VT played horrible out there yestarday and FSU caught them at the right time. FSU is the ACC champs so they deserve to go there.

[JerryBeeds]

It would've been Va. Tech/LSU, but Miami doesn't want to play Louisville in the Gator because they play Louisville in the 2nd game of the season next year.

[TigerFanatic]

that Auburn is ranked higher in the final regular season AP poll then the SEC champ jawjaa?


go tigers

[SilverBritches]

Unfortnately for Auburn, polls don't mean jack $hit. Also, no one is going to remember that Auburn was #6 (or whatever they are) in the polls. Yet, people will remember that Georgia won the SEC Championship 5 years from now. Given the choice, I would rather have the latter.

The Georgia Bulldogs are the Champions of the Southeastern Conference.

I always thought that it was supposed to be SEC Champ vs. ACC Champ in the Sugar bowl, what changed this year.

p.s SOS is bout to come up on ESPN to talk about the bowl.

It's time to put our differences behind us and get behind the conference teams who are bowling. So I say...

Go Gamecocks! Beat Missouri!
Go Dawgs sic 'em! Beat WVU!
War Eagle! Beat Wisconsin!
Geaux Tigers! Beat Miami!
Chomp 'em Gators! Beat Iowa!
Roll Tide! Beat Texas Tech!

[TigerFanatic]

i don't think i'm gonna participate in the bowl season this year.

LSU is my school, literally, i just graduated from there :P
Miami is my FAVORITE airport, city, school, and football team outside the state of Louisiana. i really don't care to see then run against each other.

and i'm just disgusted with the BCS right now

Please, what are you disgusted about.The fact that my dawgs beat the living sh** out of your tigers last night.

[UA0509]

the time of the year where hopefully all of us on the board can get along and pull for each other. we need to show the nation how strong the SEC is.

did i say a damned word about Georgia? you need to drop the attitude kid. read my other post about the BCS where i cursed almost every team in the big bowls BUT georgia. you shoot off at the mouth a little too quick...

[GatorNation]

You tell em Britches, damn tigers...

Many may disagree with me, but I think a BCS-#6 Oregon team getting knocked down to the Holiday Bowl could be the worst bid this season.

lsu is in the best game of all the SEC teams in my opinion, so i'm not sure why you're so upset? did you personally have big plans for that 13 million which gets shared throughout the conference anyway? just enjoy what could end up being the best bowl game of the season. in my opinion the only other really interesting matchup is Bama v. Texas Tech. the rest of the games don't really interest me all that much, matchup wise....so hopefully all the SEC teams will just blow the other teams away. considering our matchups we probably could in each game.

[SilverBritches]

Here is what I think the SEC bowl picture SHOULD look like.

SUGAr: Georgia
Capital One: Auburn
Cotton: LSU
Outback: South Carolina
Peach: Alabama
Independence: Florida

The way I see it, the sUGAr takes the SEC Champ. If the loser of the SEC Championship is in the West, the Cotton takes them. If the loser of the SEC Championship is in the East, then the Capital One takes them. The Outback takes the #2 team in the East. The Peach takes either the #2 in the West or the #3 in the East. Independence, Indy Bowl or whatever it is, and Music City take whatever is left after that.

I know it doesn't always work like that due to alumni being on the selection committees ;), bowls not taking the same team 2 years straight, bowls not taking a local team, and things of that nature.

Nope, I believe it should come down to conference record. Some teams work harder than the others and obviously succeed more.

The way it should be:

UGA (Sugar) (SEC Champ)
Auburn (Capital One) (7-1)
LSU (Outback) (7-2)
Alabama (Cotton) (6-2)
Florida (Peach) (5-3) (8-3)
South Carolina (Independence) (5-3) (7-4)

The way it is:

UGA (Sugar) (SEC Champ)
Auburn (Capital One) (7-1)
Florida (Outback) (5-3)
Alabama (Cotton) (6-2)
LSU (Peach) (7-2)
South Carolina (Independence) (5-3)

You think it should be conference record. Then you go on to put UF at 5-3 in the Outback and USC at 5-3 in the Independence. Yet, South Carolina and Florida have the same SEC record and South Carolina owns the tiebreaker over Florida so how does that go along with your theory?

Another flaw in your theory, Alabama and LSU are both at 6-2 in the regular season SEC. LSU beat Alabama giving them the tiebreaker. So shouldn't they go to the better bowl which is the Cotton over Alabama?

We've been over this quite extensively already....

Gator fans:

Here are the audio links to the teleconference for Ferentz and Meyer:

Meyer (http://florida.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=487286)

[SilverBritches]

We've been over this quite extensively already....

He said it should be based off of conference record alone. I'm just pointing out that if that was how it was done then South Carolina would be in Tampa over Florida.

LMAO...spurs...all in good fun. As stated by BEEDS, we should all pull together and cheer on the SEC...I for one have always supported and watched every SEC bowl game possible...a few years ago...I bought my brother-in-law 2 tix for the UGA vs Purdue Bowl game...sorry can't remember the name of the bowl, anyway, he and I had a blast cheering on the Dawgs...UGA won it in the closing minutes I believe....we tailgated with the UGA fans before and after the game...classy and generous bunch of folks.....

GO COCKS, DAWGS, TIGERS X 2, TIDE, AND GATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GeauxTo]

I sort of expect Auburn to really get after them and score big. Auburn is very balanced; no real weaknesses.

I think Florida's speed and athleticism outclasses Iowa. Also, I think Florida's defense will be back for this game in a big way. Too, we may see Leak throwing large gainers from the pocket. Just a hunch.

COMMENTS FROM LSU COACH LES MILES AT CHICK-FIL-A PEACH BOWL ANNOUCNEMENT

HEAD COACH LES MILES
Opening Statement

"Certainly, we are excited to be able to play in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl against a quality opponent. We look forward to putting this 21-member senior class back on the field with the opportunity of victory. It is a great place to play. We look forward to going back to play better."

On the senior class in the final games of their careers ...
"I think this senior class is the kind of senior class that really wants to play and give a better showing of themselves. I think they look forward to playing the best opponents. I don't see this senior class worrying about anything else than representing LSU and playing football."

On playing an opponent the caliber of Miami ...
"It's two Top 10 ranked teams, two teams that have won national championships, most recently. It's a great matchup and our guys look forward to it."

On JaMarcus Russell (http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=174908)'s injury status ...
"It appears to be a painful injury, not necessarily a long term issue. I don’t know that he will be ready for the bowl, but know that the injury is one that will not limit him in any way beyond which would be a naturally healing process. It's not operable. It's something that needs rest and rehabilitation but long term won't affect him in any way."

On the backup quarterback position if JaMarcus Russell (http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=174908) is unable to play in the Peach Bowl ...
"We will have to see if JaMarcus is completely ruled out. I don't know if that is the case. If he is, we will look at our roster. I don't know if we want to play Ryan Perrilloux (http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=174063) in that game, period. I think we have enough choices on our team to put a quarterback out there that will give us an opportunity to win. Skyler (Green) played quarterback in the last game, and his snaps averaged over 10 (yards a carry). We might have to give him a bigger piece of the pie. There are a number of guys on the roster who have experience at that position. Chris (Jackson) would certainly be of consideration."

Thoughts on the SEC Championship Game after reviewing the film ...
"I thought really there were some bright spots. It was a mistake prone game with a lot of strong individual performances within. We eliminate some of those mistakes and it is a completely different game. We can all see that. I know this, our guys are looking forward to playing well and playing a quality opponent. I haven't visited with them today. I will visit with them sometime tomorrow. I can tell you just having visited with our core leadership last night in an airport lobby, they are looking forward to bowl season."

On the status of Jessie Daniels (http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=174955) ...
"He ended up hurting himself after the Arkansas game in a celebration. We really didn't think it would be that serious. The swelling persisted (on his ankle) and went down later in the week. We brought him out to the field and ran him. He just couldn't go. That is a guy that certainly would have gone if he had the opportunity. We look forward to getting him back."

On his history with Miami ...
"We (Michigan) played the Hurricanes with Jimmy Johnson as the head coach. We had a significant lead and they came roaring back to get us."

On getting younger players involved during bowl preparation ...
"There will always be a piece of bowl preparation that will reflect the young guys, the ability to bring the young guys along. We will work very strongly on game plan and really tailor the reps so that the guys that will be playing in the game will be doing the things we will count on them to do to win."

On the SEC breakdown in the bowls ...
"I am relatively certain that in the upcoming years, there will be a significant slot for the second place team in the SEC conference. I think that is right. You don't want to be hurt in your opportunities to participate in a bowl because you played for the championship. It just doesn't make any sense. I think the conference understands that, long before this game negotiated a slot for those teams."

OT ANDREW WHITWORTH
On playing Miami ...
"It is going to be a big matchup. Miami has been very successful the past years and so have we. This is definitely going to be exciting. You can make an argument that this is going to be one of the top three or four bowls of all of them matchup wise. I can't wait for the opportunity. It is an honor for us to get to play them. We are going to be excited about it and get a chance to do something about the loss we suffered yesterday."

On playing his final game ...
"It means a lot to us to go out there and play the way we need to play. This game will be very important to all of the guys on this team."

DT KYLE WILLIAMS
On playing Miami ...
"We get to play Miami, which is a national name. They are a very good football team from a very good conference. We are happy to do that. It is going to be a great game for us.

On a shot at redemption from the loss to Georgia ...
"I just think we played really bad yesterday. Three very key mistakes and that's 21 points right there. That would have put us back in the game. Georgia took advantage of it. You have to give them props to what they did. We are eager to get back out and practice, especially the guys who have played here for so long. We don't want to go out that way."

[Hogfan]

I think the SEC has a good chance to win all of their bowl games... At the most worst the SEC to me would go 4-2 in the bowl games... LSU and Miami Alabama and Texas Tech are the two that im not sure about yet... USC should beat Missouri.. The hogs played Missouri in 2003 at Shreveport and in that game all we had to do was stop Brad Smith and they never could do anything.. which was great since during the whole time leading up to that game Brad Smith to me got more attention than Matt Jones. UGA should beat WV pretty good.. Florida should beat Iowa.. Auburn should beat Wisconsin
Texas Tech can score alot of points so Alabama will have to score some points maybe their defense can hold TT LSU and Miami I think will be a good game. I sure hope the Hogs can get to a bowl game next year.. if they dont Nutt should definitely be gone... it sucks staying at home.
GO SEC!

Tampa, FL -- The 20th Anniversary Outback Bowl featuring the 16th ranked University of Florida and the No. 25 Iowa Hawkeyes is officially a sell-out. Outback Bowl officials say no more tickets are available for the New Year's Day bowl game outside of the ticket allotments requested by and sent to each school. It is the fifth sellout in the past six years for the bowl.

"The response by the Iowa and Gator fans has been outstanding, as expected," notes Outback Bowl President / CEO Jim McVay. "This is the hottest ticket we have ever had which is going to make our 20th anniversary even more special."

The schools are still distributing their allotment of tickets to their season ticket holders, alumni, boosters and students, but have indicated they will use all the tickets the have. The Bowl expects about 40,000 out-of-area visitors to the region.

The Outback Bowl will be televised internationally on ESPN TV in HD and can be heard in the Tampa Bay market on 620 WDAE "The Sports Animal." For information on the Outback Bowl, events, attractions and hotels in the Tampa Bay area go to the bowl's web site at www.outbackbowl.com. -OBB-

Did the game sell out last season when UGA played Wisconsin.

[volimhtown]

Ok...we've had a few weeks to think about them, now let's here your "revised" bowl predictions. Here are mine in order of confidence:

1. Auburn-42, (we don't need no stinking...) Badgers-10.... This is a HORRIBLE matchup pitting the best SEC team with, well, a very average Big Ten team. Irons may go for 250 plus. I keep trying to convince myself that maybe the Tigers will be over-confident and the Badgers will play out of their minds to make this game competitive, but then reality sinks back in.

2. Miami-27, LSU-10.... Miami's had a month to stew over that stinging loss to the Rambling Wreck and will be ready to play on Friday night. LSU was exposed in the SECCG and cinderella's slipper fell off. LSU has tons of talent, but have failed to establish an identity despite their success. The Hurricane D will frustrate the LSU offense all night. Miami's offense is certainly not scary, but they are improved and will have some success against the overrated LSU defense.

3. Florida-31, Iowa-27... I really see this being a pretty good game. Iowa's offense is pretty good and it will be interesting to see if the Gator defense is up to the challenge. In the end, I think the Gator depth is too much for the Hawks to get the job done. I foresee Urban's offense making a statement going into the off-season.

4. West Virginia-27, Dawgs-23... Georgia clearly has the better team, but this matchup is far from being a reward for being SEC Champs. I think Georgia comes out flat and never really establishes any consistency. Not to mention the fact that the Mountaineers have some talented athletes that can make you pay if you're not sharp. West Virginia is pumped about being in the BCS and embarrasses the SEC in the process.

5. Texas Tech-35, Bama-31... I know the old saying...a good defense ALWAYS beats a good offense. This would apply to anyone besides Tx Tech. Their offense is SO gimicky and is so unlike anything that Bama has seen this year that I just feel they'll get the win. Even despite the Raiders' lack of a defense, Bama doesn't have the offense to keep up. This game REALLY comes down to turnovers. If Bama can create some, they're in good shape. But, if Tx Tech protects the ball, Bama will have a tough time keeping them off the scoreboard. Tx Tech went up and down the field on Texas, but turnovers and the lack of ability to get the ball into the endzone killed them.

6. Cocks-23, Missouri-21... Flip a coin!!! The good news for Missouri is that the Cocks lack the personnel to out-physical the Tigers and don't have the weapons to run away and hide. The bad news is that the Cocks have an ever so slight coaching advantage. Missouri's been a disapointment this year while the Cocks have found ways to over-achieve. I just have to believe that the Ole Ball Coach wills his team to a bowl victory in this one!!

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

[SPURED]

i think the SEC will run the table. with the only game that could be difficult is the Miami/LSU game

[jneesy]

voldude you should go work at espn

[Djshockley3]

I bet if UT was playing he would have them winning. The fact that he has West Virginia beating UGA is the craziest thing I have ever seen. And he has Texas Tech scoring 35 LMAO!!!Tech played one hard game all season.

[volimhtown]

Let's see....on this board I predicted Texas A&M to beat the Vols handily in last years Cotton Bowl, I predicted the Vols to lose to the Gators, Bama, and Vandy this year!! Hmmmm....you're right....I'm just another homer!! :rolleyes:
I honestly could not care less whether or not you agree with my predictions, but I would love to hear another's logic to a dissenting view as opposed to childish drivel.
Look, if these games were played within the confines of the regular season, then obviously my takes on the games would be different. The fact of the matter is when you take into account the virtual month off between games, anything can happen. I just think that Georgia is going to have a hard time getting stoked to play West Virginia...that's it. Of course I thought the same about my Vols last year going into the Cotton Bowl and that certainly wasn't the case. But please don't be so closed minded to think that Georgia can't be beat. It's that very logic that lends me to believe that they will. To act like that I've just posted the ultimate in disrespect to the SEC is simply your own insecurities shining through!!

I am more shocked that you picked Texas Tech to score 35 on Bama. Who have they played this season that has a top 5 defense. Texas has a top 10 defense, thats it. Bama will hold them under 17 points. And who has WVU played this year worth a crap. You should go work for ESPN with them predictions.

[Djshockley3]

Here is a stat for you Texas Tech beat 0 top 25 teams, and WVU beat 1 top 25 team.

[volimhtown]

Did you not even read my post?? If this game were played in the regular season and the teams only had a week to prepare, then certainly I would not predict Tx Tech to put up 35 on Bama. BUT, Leach and Co. have had a month to prepare for the Bama D (not to mention the fact that the Bama D was anything but dominant the last time we saw them...and that game meant MUCH more than this one does). Sure the Bama D is ranked 5th and the Texas D is ranked 10th, but you have to keep things in perspective. Had you traded opponents between Tennessee and Texas Tech, then I'm quite sure that Texas' and Bama's rankings would be pretty much flipped. In other words, I see the Texas D being pretty comperable with the Bama D. Regardless, I watched Tx Tech go up and down the field against a better team in Texas. No reason to think that they can't do the same against Bama. Bama's got a GREAT front, but the Tech offense is designed to neutralize that advantage with quick passes, screens, and draws. They don't give opponents time to get to the QB and are pretty damn successful at it. Would it surprise me if Bama won, not at all. But, as I said in my original post, they'll need to get some turnovers and field position in order to keep up and get the victory.

[volimhtown]

Here is a stat for you Texas Tech beat 0 top 25 teams, and WVU beat 1 top 25 team.
And if West Virginia beats the Dawgs, I will remind you of that ever so pertinent fact!! :D

[WDavE]

I am kind of cautious looking at the Tech versus Bama game.

One of the Tide DB starters was ruled ineligible before they left for Dallas.
One of their starters at wideout is in the doghouse for whatever reason and currently practicing with solely the scout team.

As far as Georgia versus W.V.
I always worry about a team with a point to make.
IE. Like the Badgers and my Tigers....One team has everything to win and really nothing to lose. W.V. certainly qualifies also......

[ColonelKurtz]

Yea, I remember some prognosticating which held the viles in the Top 5....that would be PERTINENT HISTORY and a FACT. :D

Should all the SEC teams show up to play like they're able, I see it like this:

Auburn 38 Wisky 17

LSU 20 Miami 17

Bama 17 TT 13

Florida 27 Iowa 21

So. Carolina 24 Mizzu 17

Dawgs 24 WVA 13

[Foxman]

And if West Virginia beats the Dawgs, I will remind you of that ever so pertinent fact!! :D

Trust me, If they do, I will gladly take any remindments. I might be a biased homer, but this is how I see it. Look, Ok, maybe the Texas Tech and Miami predictions are posible, to an extent. But I'm sorry, Georgia (SEC champions here) is not loosing to any Big East team, no way, no how. And, South Carolina will out coach and out talent Missouri any day of the week and twice on sundays. Have you been listening to ESPN resently?

Did you not even read my post?? If this game were played in the regular season and the teams only had a week to prepare, then certainly I would not predict Tx Tech to put up 35 on Bama. BUT, Leach and Co. have had a month to prepare for the Bama D (not to mention the fact that the Bama D was anything but dominant the last time we saw them...and that game meant MUCH more than this one does).

But, as I said in my original post, they'll need to get some turnovers and field position in order to keep up and get the victory.

And if you traded Tennessee with Texas Tech, uh yeah, I'd say so the stats would flip. It probably has something to do with the fact that Tennessee is 5-6, and Texas Tech is the second best team in the Big XII. Let's take something alittle more realistic, like trading Auburn or LSU with Texas Tech. I'd say it probably wouldn't change much at all. But hey, we're not comparing Texas and Bama, we're comparing Tech and Bama. Overall, if you look at the teams, the overriding factor is that Texas Tech has played 1 top 25 team, and got humiliated, and lost to an Unranked Oklahoma St. Bama, both looses were to top 15 teams, and both we're close.

I'm not argueing that Tech will loose, or Bama will win, or anything. Actually I think that it will be a very close game, I'm just not seeing that much point differential.

Yea, I remember some prognosticating which held the viles in the Top 5....that would be PERTINENT HISTORY and a FACT. :D

Should all the SEC teams show up to play like they're able, I see it like this:

Auburn 38 Wisky 17

LSU 20 Miami 17

Bama 17 TT 13

Florida 27 Iowa 21

So. Carolina 24 Mizzu 17

Dawgs 24 WVA 13

I like it alot better. :D.

[TrueGCFan]

I think the only SEC school looking down the barrel of defeat is LSU. I think Miami's D is going to go to town on them. In fact unfortunately I expect Miami D alone to score enough points to win. I hope I'm wrong because there isn't an SEC team I pull against when it comes to bowls.

-I think Burn will roll.

-I think FL will beat an average Iowa team with better coaching and better players.

-GA will spank UWV. UWV hasn't faced a defense nearly as mean and good as GA.

-Tx Tech will not score more than 21 points against Bama. The question is can Bama score more than 21 points against Tx Tech? I think so. I say this one will close but Bama win by a TD or less.

-SC and Muzzo will be a good game. Rice will make it a good game that is. Mitchell will look to Rice again and again. Rice will go over 1,000 yards for the season and will tie the NCAA record with 14 td's as a freshmen. SC wins this game by 7-14 points. (And Pops gets himself another reception)

[GeauxTo]

I keep trying to convince myself that maybe the Tigers will be over-confident and the Badgers will play out of their minds to make this game competitive, but then reality sinks back in. Pretty much agree here; The Barn will roll on the ground and in the air and their stout D will stifle the Badgers.

2. Miami-27, LSU-10.... Miami's had a month to stew over that stinging loss to the Rambling Wreck and will be ready to play on Friday night. LSU was exposed in the SECCG and cinderella's slipper fell off. LSU has tons of talent, but have failed to establish an identity despite their success. The Hurricane D will frustrate the LSU offense all night. Miami's offense is certainly not scary, but they are improved and will have some success against the overrated LSU defense. This is the most rested that LSU will be for a game. I think you might be eating these words. The Tigers will be there ready to harness the Hurricane. Matt Flynn is very smart and has an excellent arm; he may surprise the Canes more than anyone else.

3. Florida-31, Iowa-27... I really see this being a pretty good game. Iowa's offense is pretty good and it will be interesting to see if the Gator defense is up to the challenge. In the end, I think the Gator depth is too much for the Hawks to get the job done. I foresee Urban's offense making a statement going into the off-season. I think the Gators will really roll here. They are going to make a statement all right; they'll win bigger than you've predicted.

4. West Virginia-27, Dawgs-23... Georgia clearly has the better team, but this matchup is far from being a reward for being SEC Champs. I think Georgia comes out flat and never really establishes any consistency. Not to mention the fact that the Mountaineers have some talented athletes that can make you pay if you're not sharp. West Virginia is pumped about being in the BCS and embarrasses the SEC in the process. This is just plain dumb! No way WV beats Georgia... no way.

5. Texas Tech-35, Bama-31... I know the old saying...a good defense ALWAYS beats a good offense. This would apply to anyone besides Tx Tech. Their offense is SO gimicky and is so unlike anything that Bama has seen this year that I just feel they'll get the win. Even despite the Raiders' lack of a defense, Bama doesn't have the offense to keep up. This game REALLY comes down to turnovers. If Bama can create some, they're in good shape. But, if Tx Tech protects the ball, Bama will have a tough time keeping them off the scoreboard. Tx Tech went up and down the field on Texas, but turnovers and the lack of ability to get the ball into the endzone killed them. This one is a little scary, but I think Bama's D will give their QB a night full of terror and stop their running game cold. I look for Bama to muster some offense in this one. Bama wins, maybe not big on the scoreboard, but they will show their superiority over the Red Raiders.

6. Cocks-23, Missouri-21... Flip a coin!!! The good news for Missouri is that the Cocks lack the personnel to out-physical the Tigers and don't have the weapons to run away and hide. The bad news is that the Cocks have an ever so slight coaching advantage. Missouri's been a disapointment this year while the Cocks have found ways to over-achieve. I just have to believe that the Ole Ball Coach wills his team to a bowl victory in this one!! Spurs will make a statement here. Look for the Cocks to put on an aerial circus the likes of which Mizzou has rarely seen. Cocks by about 35 to 17.

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

:D
GeauxTo,
I tried to rep point you for your response, but apparently I need to spread some more. I obviously don't agree with you, but appreciate the response with thoughts included as opposed to the other banter.
Hey, I've been hard on LSU and Georgia all year, but look who played in the SECCG. Scoreboard, right?? Dawg and Tiger fans should be thankful that I'm picking against them as that has pretty much guaranteed a victory for them all season!! Anyhow, have a great New Year and good luck in Atlanta!!

[BAMA NATE]

I don't have time to do all of them at the moment.

Alabama vs.Texas Tech: I see this one going either way. Their has been a lot of argument over which of these squads is overrated. I'm gonna say the Raider's offense is because they got manhandled by the best defense they played and will face an even better defense in this one. Both of the Tide's losses were close so I'm gonna say Tech is the overrated squad. The Bama defense does it's job and the offense does enough. Bama 24-17.

Auburn vs. Wisconsin: Horrible matchup. Over by the half. The Tiger offense soars in this one. Auburn 35-7.

[SeattleGamecocks]

Being the homer that I am, I picked SEC teams in all their bowls in my office pool. If I had known about Russell being out, I probably would have picked Miami over LSU, but its too late for that. so Geaux Bayou Bengals!!!

[GAMECOCK_FAN]

I'm hoping the SEC goes 6 and 0, but here's my picks.....

Auburn 34 Wisconsin 13

Miami 17 LSU 13

Texas Tech 21 Alabama 20

Florida 31 Iowa 21

South Carolina 27 Missouri 20

Georgia 31 West Virginia 17

[BAMA NATE]

Now to finish mine.

South Carolina vs. Missouri: Steve Spurrier is always ready with a good gameplan and this game will be no exception. The Cocks win this one and get a lot of momentum and confidence heading into the offseason. Blake Mitchell shines in this one. Carolina 31-13.

LSU vs. Miami: Without Jamarcus Russel it simply can't be done. Miami shuts the Tiger offense down. Miami 31-14.

Florida vs. Iowa: The Gators are out for revenge in Urban's first bowl with the Gators. Chris Leak bombards the Hawkeyes defense as UF pulls away in the 4th. Florida 28-10.

Georgia vs. West Virginia: The Big East doesn't deserve their automatic BCS bid and I look for the Dawgs to prove just that in this one. Shockley puts together a solid performance. Georgia 24-3.

[thethrill]

I think the SEC wins all but 1. I don't think Bama can score with Texas Tech.
Also a little worried about LSU without Russell, but I think their DL can pressure Miami's QB into making enough mistakes to win. I think the Gamecocks game will be close with Missouri but they will pull it out, and the others should be blowouts.

[GeauxTo]

1) I don't think bama scores that many points....probably a very low scoring game. This is, imo, one of the most interesting matchups of the year. Could be a 6-3 type of game unless the 'phants can generate some offense. Then again, Nebraska scored 30+ on Tech, and three of Tech's "wins" came against Florida International, Sam Houston State and Indiana State. :rolleyes:

Still, assuming both defenses play well....

bama -5
line: Tech - 3.5

2) Very worried about Iowa: a tough, physical, well-coached, and balanced team with a great running game (Albert Young has 1300 yards) and a QB who can run AND pass. Great LBs with better stats than f$u's tandem of Sims and Nicholson, though that may be because the DL lets activity get to the next level more often. Basically a home game for UF with an advantage in speed, especially with the playing surface, but a disadvantage in size. We need to score first and force Iowa to throw the ball while getting pressure on Tate (a 2004 first-team All-Big Ten selection who has better numbers this year). They lose when they throw the ball 30+ times in a game.

A solid, well-balanced offensive opponent is not what we need: RayMac is out, as is Reggie Nelson, and V. Brown won't be 100% when he is on the field. The flip side is that--aside from Caldwell being out for the season and Washington with a dislocated kneecap--this is the healthiest our offense has been all year....with Leak, Baker, Caldwell, Cornelius, Casey, and Wynn all ready to go. Should be a good one.

Other notes: Iowa is the least penalized team in the nation...UF ranks #3 in the nation in TO margin (+18) while Iowa is +1, clocking in at #64....

UF -3
line: UF -1

3) Auburn will simply roll Wisconsin. Tough way for Alvarez to leave the game.

barn -20
line: barn -11

4) DJ puts the game away with his feet; UGA stops the run, but the spread causes some problems.

UGA - 15.5
line: uga -7

SEC will run the table in the rest of their bowl games, only one that will be close is Bama, because they have no Defense. Not to worry though Tiders, T.Tech lost to OK St. this year!

[BAMA NATE]

SEC will run the table in the rest of their bowl games, only one that will be close is Bama, because they have no Defense. Not to worry though Tiders, T.Tech lost to OK St. this year!

I really hope you meant we have no Offense. Anyway my predictions from last night stand.

Alabama 24 vs. TTU 17

Florida 28 vs. Iowa 10

Auburn 38 vs. Wisconsin 14

Georgia 24 vs. West Virginia 3

[uscrules]

I like TT to win over Bama 34-21 Too much offence.
I like Florida over Iowa 24-17 Too much speed.
I like Auburn over Wis. 38-21 Too much Auburn.
I like Georgia over W. Virgina. 34-7 Home team, Superior talent. SEC vs Big East

[Bulldog Bry]

Bama by 5: this game will just be interesting to watch. I'm bettin that the Red Raiders will realize about five minutes into the game, that they haven't seen that kind of defense on a regular basis. You just can't score 40 on Bammer

Dawgs by 10: Boy, Coach Richt is hyping that WVU team isn't he? What, has he been spending time with Coach Dooley? Seriously, though, I think the Eers will be ready to play and will probably own the first quarter. Then Georgia figures it all out and puts them away.

Gators by 13: Two Jeckyll and Hyde teams if there ever were. But I just don't think the Hawkeyes will be able to withstand the combination of athleticism and trickery they're about to see.

Auburn by......: Who are we kidding, this is going to get ugly fast. The only Auburn fans who will still be watching in the fourth quarter are the parents of the seniors who are getting on the field for the first time that day. What a shame. Alvarez is such a nice guy.

[GatorHunter]

Bama: This game is a toss up...if Bama can put pressure on the QB....Bama wins a low scoring game...if not....bad news.

Dawgs: Give me a break! Dawgs will destroy WV...they are the Big Least champions...nuff said.

Gators: I have a feeling the Gators will "show up" for the first time for a bowl in 4 years.

Auburn: This one could get ugly....poor Alvarez.

[crimsonnation713]

Bama by 7

Dawgs by as many as they wanna

Gator game might be closer than expected....Fla by 3

Cow Docs should win big..

[volimhtown]

Here is a stat for you Texas Tech beat 0 top 25 teams, and WVU beat 1 top 25 team.
Make that 2 for WVU, now!!!!! :D :p :D

[volimhtown]

But I'm sorry, Georgia (SEC champions here) is not loosing to any Big East team, no way, no how. And, South Carolina will out coach and out talent Missouri any day of the week and twice on sundays. Have you been listening to ESPN resently? :D.

:D :p :D

[GeauxTo]

LSU vs. Miami: Without Jamarcus Russel it simply can't be done. Miami shuts the Tiger offense down. Miami 31-14.
Chomp, chomp, chomp.
:p

[azamugg]

:D :p :D
not bad picking IMO....funny how the SEC came out.....I thought for sure Bama's lack of offense would not overcome the 17 or more I thought TTech would score, Auburn has everyone dragging their jaw, GA lost to a helluva WV team that I followed all year, a strong team, SC got beat by one player in Smith and LSU pulled one out of the arse.....all in all, 3/3 to be expected just not how we expected!!

[azamugg]

I'm hoping the SEC goes 6 and 0, but here's my picks.....

Auburn 34 Wisconsin 13

Miami 17 LSU 13

Texas Tech 21 Alabama 20

Florida 31 Iowa 21

South Carolina 27 Missouri 20

Georgia 31 West Virginia 17


wow....one fer six, I see the SEC east colored shades too, cept for your hat tip to Auburn who thought they didn't have anything to prove

Hey, at least I got one right....Florida (and I'm down right proud of that one correct pick). :D
