[ReturnToGlory]

Sugar - UGA vs Texas
Fiesta - LSU vs UCF
Peach - Florida vs Michigan
Rose - Ohio State vs Washington

SEC with 4 teams in major bowls.

Michigan and Florida is the best matchup

Horrible lineup. With those teams, how could they mess that up so completely?

Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl are locked into Big Ten vs Pac 12 and SEC vs Big 12.

Rose Bowl is fine. There were options in the other bowls and they screwed them up.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

these other bowls are difficult to predict. Thy are basically the who wants to be there bowl.

 

[UntouchableCrew]

I wish they'd done UCF vs Florida and Michigan vs. LSU.

UCF vs Florida would have the in-state bragging rights on the line. All the kids from all of the state who played each other in high school talking trash, etc. Plus we've seen Michigan vs Florida many times in recent years. LSU vs. Michigan feels fresher.

I believe had they done UGA vs WVU in the Sugar then it would've been better

I don't think they had that choice. My understanding is that the Big XII mandates their runner up is the #2 regardless of committee ranking. At least that's what people were saying on twitter.

Texas travels better.

Doesn't make sense since WVU beat Texas and both have 3 losses in conference.

Well the extra loss was in the conference title game so it's not being counted. My understanding was that the loser of yesterday's game was always the #2.

WVU screwed themselves losing to Okie St.

I hope LSU doesn't pull an auburn and lose to UCF. I hope LSU smokes them.

Its whatever to me, but Texas is going to get donkey punched back into prehistoric times if UGA really wants to compete. WVU would actually stand a chance.

Alamo - Iowa State vs Washington State
Citrus - Kentucky vs Penn State

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Camping World - West Virginia vs Syracuse

Why do you think that? WVU won against Texas with a 2 point conversion.

UGA kills either of them, IMO.

I'm shocked Iowa State got the Alamo Bowl over West Virginia. Has WVU been there recently or something?

Atleast WVU knows who they are, and have a qb. Texas doesn't know what they are on offense at all. UGA probably beats both by double digits, but WVU is more capable of giving them a fight.

Big IF. Georgia may check out mentally like our guys did back in 2013.
