Since our conference champ is in the Big Game, wouldn't our conference runner-up (UT) be the host for the Sugar Bowl. Am I missing something?

who cares, it's UT :D anytime phil gets the short end of the stick, it's a good thing.

actually, i think this came down to standings, but not certain.

Sugar is at large vs at large this year. The SEC has a mandate in place for the SECCG loser. It was implemented last year when LSU didn't go to the Cotton in '05.

No I think he means that the second best bowl bid MUST go to the loser of the SEC Championship Game. That’s the mandate. Not what is a mandate.

Cap One has the second selection. After that, if the SECCG losing team isn't in a BCS game or the Cap One it has to pick the loser, in this case UT. If the West loses, they would go Cotton. If the East loses, they go Outback.

In a different scenario...if LSU would have lost the SECCG UT and Georgia would be in the BCS. Say the Cap One keeps the same pick with UF, the Cotton would have to pick LSU.

Last year, the Cap One chose Arkansas...

terryp, what is the mandate?
I assume that is a serious question?

Official law/rule.

yeah, meaning, what exactly did the SEC manadate. :D i'm asking because I think the Sugar is better than the Outback.

My bad, misread the question. Trying to watch Brotherhood and surf at the same time.
