Can we not try to make fun of Mississippi for making the sugar bowl??? I mean, I sure hell would have rather made the sugar than the Liberty. If we had taken care of business and won the Memphis, Arkansas, and Mississippi games, we would be in the sugar. But we choked and didn?t make the plays.

This is correct, although the referees made some very questionable calls against us in the Memphis and Arkansas games. I've been hoping for years we could make it to the Sugar Bowl, but we never have. Glad I was fortunate enough to see our one and only SEC championship game in Atlanta in '98.

We like to make fun of those mother 17ers every chance we get....you need to get on board with that Francis.

This may not be the place for you, with all that OM sympathy.

I still think it?s really weird their fans are so excited about the sugar bowl over the peach and our fans still think it?s a better bowl. I dont think people understand there are 3 tiers to bowls now. Playoff, NY6 non playoff and the rest. They were going to a NY6 no matter what because they were ranked #8. Back before the playoff it was a bigger bowl, but them making the Sugar Bowl is no different than State going to the Orange Bowl in 2014.

Anyone think Houston and NC State each deserved a better bowl?

Because it is the bowl that hosts the TOP available SEC team, not an at large bid

Baylor is going to drill ole miss

I hope so, but they didn?t look good vs OSU. If their starting QB is healthy, I?d feel much better about their chances. OM will be healthy.

OM is a 1.5 point favorite, so you can get rich if you sure.

We're 8-pt favorite

My favorite bet though is aTm getting 5 from wake forest. aTm is gonna run wild on them, and while wake will score, aTm will win

They just had their greatest season in school history with a Heisman candidate-and the best they could do was 10-2 and NY6 berth. They just had our 2014 season. Good for them. Like us in 2015- let's see what they do after losing alot.

We were "young" this year and won 7. So next year looks to be a chance for us to make a run at 10 wins.

And we are 2 horrific calls by sec referees from being 9-3 going to the citrus.

[dawgpound]

That is not true though. The top SEC team not in the playoff goes to the sugar.

Except when the Sugar is in the playoff- as in 2014 which led us to the Orange. Had the Sugar been in the playoff this year- Mississippi would have been elsewhere as well.

I hope so but I ain't betting on it........Everyone's been downplaying them all year but the bottom line is they are a damn good football team and got over the hump and closed out some games that we couldn't......

The Sugar Bowl goes to the top ranked SEC team if the SEC champion (and other SEC teams like this year) are in the playoffs UNLESS the Sugar Bowl is part of the CFP which is what happened to us in 2014 and we went to the Orange.
When Ole Miss folks were jerking to their 2015 Sugar Bowl I tried explaining to them that it was the exact same bowl that we went to in 2014 just a different name but they (and a lot of State fans) just couldn't wrap their head around that.
