Who is the home team for the Sugar Bowl?

I was wondering this tonight as well while watching OSU and Oregon play. I hope we come out in Crimson.

Well last year Georgia was in their home uniforms so I would assume the SEC team alternates every year between home and away... So if I'm right then that means we're away...

Bama is considered the home team.

Wish we could switch. You guys like your whites and we like our reds. Looks like it'll be the opposite for this game though.

And what's the fact that set 'Bama as the home team? BCS ranking? Thanks

RTR,

In this case, it's looking at the Sugar Bowl site and it saying Alabama is the home team and Utah is the away team.

I don't know if the BCS rankings have a bearing in the matter. Ohio State is the visiting team in the Fiesta so that fits.

Their SEC tie in. The Sugar Bowl gives the SEC the home team nod.

Go Utes!

I could care less what color we wear. Play the same in either.

It was BCS at large vs BCS at large so I'm not real sure that's the case.

There isn't an official tie-in between the SEC and the Sugar Bowl anymore. It's the likely destination for the SEC Champ if we aren't playing in the NC game...but, not an SEC bowl game.

True, but they did choose an SEC team, and the SEC *does* have a contract with the Sugar Bowl.

From http://www.bcsfootball.org/bcsfb/eligibility:

2. Unless they qualify to play in the NCG, the champions of selected conferences are contractually committed to host selected games:

Atlantic Coast Conference-Orange Bowl
Big Ten Conference-Rose Bowl
Big 12 Conference-Fiesta Bowl
Pac-10 Conference-Rose Bowl
Southeastern Conference-Sugar Bowl

I wouldn't mind the jersey's with the houndstooth colar we have a few years back. I think i was probly in the minority to want those to be a permenant uniform. If not for the entire season them maybe for homecomming. Not just becuase i like them...but becuse i think it's make a great momento for the guys.
