FYI...

A friend and I were talking about this today. I actually think us vs mich would be a good match up.

Only 1 way around it. Win on the road at places like LSU and UF and they can't mess with you.

Or even better, get a schedule that doesn't require you to play anybody good from the west and play uf at a neutral site. Oh wait that's happened to someone and they still wont' get a bcs bowl if they lose in the SEC championship game.

[garnet_black215]

Things definitely get very interesting now with Alabama losing.

[Psshhhh]

With the Tide losing, we have a harder chance of getting a BCS game according to Rivals. That sux if that pans out that way.

Personally, I prefer bowls in Florida over trips to the Georgia Dome. We played like garbage there twice in 2010.

Get ready to be jumped in the polls by aTm. Same record with a win over #1 Bama in there house will put them in front of Florida, LSU, and us. I predict we stay in the top ten but barely.

I do like Bama against Clemson in the Sugar Bowl, that would be a one sided ass kicking of epic proportions.

Only thing I don't agree with is Clemson in the sugar bowl. They haven't played a hard enough schedule to deserve it IMO. In the CFN link

You're probably right, but A&M lost to the same teams we did, except they lost at home. They beat Bama but we beat a uga team that most people who haven't seen them play think is as good as Bama. The truth is, though that they looked like a pretty solid team yesterday.

They have us in the Chick Fil A vs Miami. I don't see that happening, unless we lose to Clemson, which I don't think will happen.

Personally, I'd be OK with the Outback vs Michigan

[carolinafan111]

we will stay at number 8 in the BCS... most likely. we will move up a spot in the human polls which will help

[GamecockInHell]

Some of these predictions are pretty funny. And I love to read all the comments. I wonder what happens if ND and Oregon lose a game, Uf loses to FlaSt, Bama crushes uga, and Carolina crushes the taters? Wouldn't THAT be interesting?

[carolinafan111]

Bama/UGA are the biggest Southern Cal fan now..

Southern Cal can beat Oregon and ND and put bama back in the national championship picture.

it is laughable that bama fans and UGA fans have to root for Lane kiffin.. or is that just me?

[Red Devil]

The one compensation for a crappy bowl would be to watch the taters get hammered by Bama. Bama may put triple digits on them.

[carolinafan111]

the only way clemson makes a BCS bowl is if they beat us...

so that is most certainly not going to happen

Aggies will jump us so we won't move up in human polls and will most likely drop in BCS as well, probably to 10

[carolinafan111]

how in the world would we drop to number 10?

maaaaaaaaybe 9, but we will know that in a few minutes when the coaches poll comes out.

but who else is jumping us?

Here's my 2 cents on how things play out:
Florida looks like they'll lose to FSU... 10-2
UGA loses to Bama... 11-2
LSU wins out........ 10-2
A&M wins out.... 10-2
Cocks beat Wofford and that other school from the upstate.... 10-2

With those results the "SEC power rankings" would be:
1-Bama
2- LSU, A&M, USC- because all finished strong
5- UGA- coming off a fresh loss
6- Florida- looked bad against Mizzou and UL-Laf and a loss to FSU
(Just how I think these teams will be looked at)

Sugar Bowl gets Bama
Fiesta probably picks LSU
Cotton Bowl falls all over themselves to take A&M
Cap One loves us after last year and takes USC
Outback doesn't want UGA again and takes Florida
Chick Fil A could preview next years kick off game by putting UGA against Clemson

It probably won't work out so favorably for us but we'll see.
