Rebel Bowl Projections: 3 straight wins = Capital One Bowl

[classof97]

I will amend your hope by one game...

I would prefer 3 straight wins and a date with the Little 12 at Jerry World.

Those Florida bowl games bore me to tears...don't tell me about the money difference...by the time you divi the money up among the conference the difference is negligible and probably eaten up by increased travel expenses of Florida vs Dallas..

Cotton please..


But first we need to win Saturday.....or we may be visiting Caddo Parrish instead of Dallas County..or worse yet staying in Lafayette County...

I agree, but I can't see any scenerio where that's possible. If we had beat Auburn there would be a lot more flexibility that could put us in the Cotton bowl with 2 out of 3 wins. 3 straight Wins at this point puts us in the Capital One bowl.

I think that in this economy, the Bowls are likely to give strong consideration to geographic proximity. So if Jevan has three good games and we win them all, my money (and my hope) is on Cotton.

I really don't see the Bowl Selection committee changing the rules for economic reasons... if they did, they might reduce some of those huge Bowl payouts.

SEC 1 Sugar Bowl
SEC 2 Capital One Bowl
SEC 3 Cotton Bowl (SEC WEST)

Of course the past few years the SEC champion plays in the BCS NC Game, so the standing bump down one. SEC runner up goes to the Sugar, Next Capital One Bowl, Then the next from the West goes Cotton.

Most Bowl Projections assume LSU will beat us (Good Assumption) and have LSU in the Capital One Bowl with Auburn in the Cotton Bowl.

If we win 3 straight, Capital One has to take us whether they want to or not. We'll have the edge on LSU and the rest of the conference which puts us in capital one. Jerry World is really nice, but we could hope in one hand and *beep* in the other and see which one fills up first. LOL

With some help, we could get to the Cotton with 2 wins, but I really don't see it happening. Auburn would have to lose it's next two games and we lose to LSU.

Cap One is a pipe dream...sorry.

Actually, where we end up depends on if we win this weekend and if Auburn loses to UGA and Bama. If AU loses to both Bama and UGA then they finish on a skid and end up 7-5. No way they go to the Cotton at that point. However, if we beat UT and MSU we end up 8-4 again and go back to the Cotton. Under that scenario LSU would go to the Capital One. If Auburn beats UGA and loses to Bama they end up 8-4, tied with us and they go to the Cotton. Under that scenario we go to ATL.

Exactly, Auburn has to lose 2 in a row and we win 2 of the last 3 to get in the Cotton. That's kind of a "Pipe Dream" too. More than likely we're looking at Chik Fil A or Music City.

I do not know what your definition of a "pipe dream" is but winning against UT and State is more than doable. If we beat Arkie we can beat UT and MSU. Secondly, AU is not that good, and I look for UGA to beat them, as well as, Bama of course. I would not say it is a long shot, more like a likelihood. If Ole Miss does not beat UT this weekend all beats are off. One game at a time.

I hope Auburn looses to UGA and BAMA so we can lose 1 more and still get a good bowl.

If we lose one more that means we win 2 more. If we win 2 out of 3 we are worse case scenario ATL best DAL.

That sounds great to me. The new stadium looks great!
