    For local entertainment value, Memphis is the best place to be. Shreveport is the safest.

    Remember it's not about records, standings, etc. as of now this is scenario:

    MSU - Liberty
    OM - Music city
    Vandy - BBVA Compass

    Liberty picks before BBVA. Vandy was in Liberty two years ago. Liberty would love to have State back after setting ticket sales record in 07. Plus, I have my source. Will update if changes.

    This is correct. My company is a Liberty Bowl sponsor and I know for a fact they would love to get us if they can.

    This is the path of least resistance for everybody involved.

    word on the street liberty wants us.

    I don't know who picks first, but if they pick before Compass we're headed to liberty barring Slive's intervention.

    Truth be known, Vandy beat UGA and should play in the Gator. UGA the Music City and either Ole Miss/ State in BHam and Memphis... Neither of will play in Sherveport.

    we will be the only 6-6 team will get sent to the BBVA, just like Ole Miss last year. Our opponent is probably either Houston or Rutgers too in Birmingham. I would rather play Rutgers for the fact that we just finished up a home & home with Houston in 2009/2010 and Rutgers is an original member of the Big East and will go to the Big Ten next year. Here are my Bowl Projections:


    Alabama - Nat'l Championship vs Florida St
    Auburn - Sugar vs UCF
    Missouri - Cap One vs Wisconsin
    LSU - Cotton vs Baylor
    South Carolina- Outback vs Nebraska
    Texas A&M - ChickFila vs Miami (FL) or dare I say.. Duke?
    Georgia - Gator vs Minnesota
    Ole Miss - Music City vs Georgia Tech
    Vanderbilt - Liberty vs Houston
    Miss St - BBVA vs Rutgers

    Rose - Ohio St - Stanford
    Orange - Clemson-Michigan State
    Fiesta- Oklahoma St - Fresno State

    I might be in the minority but I'd love to see Auburn lose to UCF in a BCS game. And the Cotton and Rose bowl predictions would be good to watch.

    I think I saw someone post the other day about us possibly playing North Carolina in Shreveport.. I'd prefer going to Memphis, but that matchup sounds best just because it'd be against a well known school. And I'm confident in beating them.

    Well I can tell you that IF Vandy beats WF AND the Liberty picks before the Compass then Slive will not allow the Liberty to pick a 6-6 MSU over an 8-4 Vandy.

    Vandy probably deserves the Gator, but I think the Gator will take UGA.

    I guess UGA could slip to the Music City. That's probably our best bet to go to Memphis.

    Would be pretty sweet to see OM go back to Birmingham. A week and a half ago, they were thinking about a possible 10 win season.

    To be honest, the Shreveport Stadium is nicer than Liberty and Legion and there is a brand new Margaritaville hotel/casino there.

    The ACC and Pac-12 both have 2 more eligible teams than bids, so if Rutgers and SMU are both ineligible, we could play Maryland, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Washington State, or Oregon State possibly in Birmingham.

    I'm hearing rumblings that might send Vandy to Music City, us to Liberty and OM to BBVA. Liberty wants us bad.

    Well I'd be pulling for Vandy tomorrow because it's looking like that might be the case. This would just be icing on the cake if we pass them in a bowl game. Especially after all the Shit they have been talking.
