Palmetto Proving Grounds

Gator Bowl would be fine. Easy drive. It would be nice to add that trophy to our case.

Gator would be nice, got a great place to stay in St. Augustine. Should still be good golf weather too.

JW, you made a couple of references to our team's behavior "on and off the field." I understand what you mean my "on the field" behavior, but I'm not sure what you mean by "off the field" behavior. Is it the fan turnout? Is it literally about how our players behaved while they were at the Cap One last year and Outback in 2009? Thx in advance.

I'll be at Disney World during bowl season, so the Capital One bowl would work out great for me.

I can't see us not being taken over UF or UGA if they both lose big late in season & we finish big. We were picked over UGA last yr. UF & LSU are biggest competition. The best case scenario would be for UGA to lose then UF get beat @ FSU & SECCG.

I feel like UGA & UF losing big late could put us over the top of them. Also, after losing to 'Bama big & hopefully Miss St, we should pas LSU in the BCS rankings with a big win or just a win over a Top 10-12 Clemson would make us the 2nd highest ranked team in BCS.

I think we either get the Sugar Bowl Bid or Capital One bid. That would be either 2nd pick or 3rd. I also think there is a legitimate interest & excitement about SC that makes them attractive. They know we will be super excited to go to those bowls or even the Cotton Bowl whereas LSU & UGA aren't going to be excited considering finishes & preseason expectations. We'll see, let's just finish 10-2. I'd be content with anything other than Outback. Even if it's Gator or Chick-fil-a, we would probably kill the ACC or Big 10.

If we fall to the Gator Bowl, there is a serious bias against us in the SEC office -- at 10-2 we are far from being the 7th best team in the SEC. I agree having the bowl 4 hrs. away would be nice -- but the slight would be huge from the SEC and the earlier bowls.

Last night's results helps us with regards to the Sugar Bowl.

LSU losing gives them 2 losses and thier fans will not travel like we will. They also will not bring the out of town revenue like we would.
Now we need FSU to beat UF and UGA to get worked by Bama in the SECCG.

Also, the BCS is going to be a big mess this season.

The big 10 might not have a team ranked in the top 14 at the end of the season.

The SEC might have 5 or 6 teams in the top 14.

The Pac-12 could only have 1 team(maybe 2 with OSU) in the top 14.

The ACC might only have 1 once we beat Clemson at the end of the year.

La Tech might make a BCS game as a non-BCS qualifier since Boise lost last night.

It is going to be crazy the rest of the season. You have Oregon, Bama, KState, and Bama at the top and then I think you will have a muddled mess with the rest of the teams.
