Bowl options not great for SEC Championship game loser
Everybody knows where the winner of the SEC Championship game will play next — the Discover BCS National Championship game Jan. 7 in Miami, of course. But the bowl destination is less clear for the loser of Saturday’s SEC title game between Georgia and Alabama.
Because there are so many highly-ranked SEC teams, and because bowl dealings have been ongoing for quite some time, there is a very good chance the loser of the league championship game gets leap-frogged in the selection process. In addition to No. 2 Alabama and No. 3 Georgia, four other SEC teams are in the top 10 of this week’s BCS standings — Florida (4), LSU (7), Texas A&M (9) and South Carolina (10).
Most projections have 11-1 Florida — whose only loss was to Georgia — moving ahead of the Alabama-Georgia loser in the final BCS standings and going to the Nokia Sugar Bowl, a BCS game. Conversely, some projections have a losing Alabama team going to the AT&T Cotton Bowl or a losing Georgia team going to the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
“For either one of these teams, it’s not really a great scenario,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said.
“You play your way into the (SEC) championship game, which means you’re the best team in your division, they’re the best team in their division,” Saban said. “They played their way into the game by a total body of work for the whole season. It doesn’t seem quite right. But it is what it is. I don’t really know what me commenting about it is going to do to change it. But I don’t feel good about it for our football team or their football team, either one.”
SEC spokesman Charles Bloom confirmed to the AJC Monday that “the loser of the SEC Championship Game has protection not to fall below the Chick-fil-A Bowl in the SEC selection order.”
That leaves as possibilities the Capital One Bowl (Orlando), Outback Bowl (Tampa), Cotton (Arlington, Tex.) and Chick-fil-A (Atlanta). Some projections have Texas A&M, led by expected Heisman Trophy finalist Johnny Manziel, heading to the Cap One, which has first pick of SEC teams after the BCS bowls. Georgia played in the Outback just last year, and the Cotton prefers to take SEC Western Division teams.
Chick-fil-A Bowl president Gary Stokan did not return several calls seeking comment Monday.
Georgia coach Mark Richt has not commented on the Bulldogs’ bowl scenarios. But as Saban emphasized more than once, “it is what it is.”
Florida coach Will Muschamp is disappointed his team won’t get a BCS title shot and offered no apologies for likely ending up ahead of the SEC Championship game loser and in the Sugar Bowl.
“Well, I can switch and go to Atlanta,” Muschamp told reporters in Gainesville, Fla., “if (Saban) doesn’t want to go to Atlanta and play the Dogs. Be careful what you ask for, Nick.”
It should be noted, too, that last season Alabama went to — and won — the national championship game after failing to reach the SEC Championship game.

If the dawgs don’t win sat. It really does not matter what bowl they go to. Sugar bowl is nice and fun to say you went but in the end it is no different than the peach outback or even liberty. They all mean the same thing which is you didn’t make to the bowl game that DOES matter and mean something.

…though both AL, UGA, and Clemson “seserve” better bowls than the Chick, what’s wrong with AL v Clemson or UGA v Clemson?
The only real drawback to UGA v Clemson is that they must play each other again at Clemson to begin NEXT years season…
And, Tampa Dawg......

…most of the experts have a 2 loss UGA team getting leapfrogged by all of the aforementioned SEC teams; and, a 2 loss AL team would command a much better position BEFORE those same SEC teams, even though TAM beat the Tide…

We open up against Clemson next year. Bit of a buzzkill.
More emphasis on winning Saturday. It’s going to be a tall order to top the Tide.
But like Ric Flair said, “to be the man, you gotta beat the man.” Right now, Alabama is the man.

If BAMA loses to the DAWGS then whatever bowl is left is where they go…no excuses. But if BAMA wins then A.J. and some of the juniors that red shirted play for their third National Championship. They will then have a shot at four Championships next year. I think the SECCG is setting up to be the best in years. RTR

If Kent State ends up in the Sugar I hope the SEC representative will beat them 8 touchdown and maybe that will end that stupid mess. I would rather all the schools get together and buy out Kent State out and match up a team who deserves to go to a BCS game. If Kent State go’s it will really cheapen the Sugar Bowl.

Only a certain number of SEC schools are allowed in the BCS no matter how much better the other SEC schools that don’t get a BCS bid. After the BCS picks it really doesn’t matter whether you go to the Capital One , Outback or Chic-Fil-A , they all pay great money for second tier Bowls. I would hate for Georgia to end up there because the are only 75 mile from that Bowl. This team would deserve a lot more.

I think Mr. Saban is thinking he might lose to the Dawgs. Not so confident are you, Nick? And I am sure you just have real warm and fuzzy feelings about Georgia not going to a BCS game if they lose. You really care about them Dawgs, don’t you Nick. Well…Nick…them Dawgs are probably going to send you to the Cotton Bowl this year……and Florida will probably send you back there next year.

I feel like we have a very good chance to beat Alabama Saturday and have no doubt we are good enough to beat Notre Dame. But if the world ends and we do not win the SEC I would rather NOT play in the Sugar Bowl. They have really gotten bad about taking horrible teams to face the SEC. If Kent St wins this weekend its projected they would get into the Sugar Bowl and you dont earn reapect for beating that team. Same as when we played Hawaii. If you lose to a team like that you are a laughing stock but if you beat them no one cares because you were suposed to. I would much rather play Michigan or Clemson or any real team. Sugar Bowl will be much better when it becomes the Champions Bowl and its always a big 12 team.

So what happens if Alabama or UGA win by a field goal late or in overtime? The loser gets leapfrogged by Florida, sitting home sipping Gatorade? Hmmmm. Sometimes the polls outhink themselves, which is to say there isn’t much thinking involved at all.
If I were the Notre Dame coach I’d seriously consider sequestering the team so they DON’T see this game. They play a tough schedule but I’m not convinced they’re ready for the SEC to hit them.

Tampa Gator speaks the truth. Also, he illustrates (via the Kent State scenario) why limiting the number of BCS slots to the top conferences–and giving one to the likes of the MAC, for example, if the team is ranked in the top 15–is a joke. Georgia Tech versus Kent State would be the worst-attended and lowest-rated BCS bowl game ever. I mean, Kent State lost to Kentucky!
The SEC should get at least four BCS slots–picking from among Bama, LSU, Florida, Georgia, USCe and Texas A&M. That type of competition is why Ohio State would be no better than 9-3 (if they played in the SEC West or East, just based on divisional play)–and possibly worse, depending upon interdivisional crossover games. They have no defense. Any of the above six teams would wax them, with extreme prejudice.
(Oddly enough, at this point, come to think of it, the Golden Flashes might be the best team in Ohio).

I am so tired of listening to blowhards in the media and blogosphere talk about how Georgia had an easy SEC schedule and only played two ranked teams and should get jumped even if they beat Alabama.
If Georgia BEATS Alabama… who deserves a shot more than they do?
BOTH the teams Georgia played were current TOP 10 teams (#4 Florida and #10 South Carolina) and they did go 1-1. But they also STILL have a game against #2 Alabama… the top team in the West which is the side they are accused of skipping.
Let’s compare that to the other zero and one loss teams:
#1 Notre Dame has played ONE top 10 team (#8 Stanford)
#2 Alabama has also played only 2 top 10 teams and were also 1-1 (#7 LSU and #9 Texas A&M). And they completely avoiding the top 3 teams in the SEC East… so why is nobody bringing that up? Georgia’s loss was on the road to a long time rival. Alabama lost at HOME to an SEC newbie.
#4 Florida did play 4 top 10 teams (#3 Georgia, #7 LSU, #9 Texas A&M and #10 So Carolina) and everyone LOVES them… but they didn’t play Alabama either AND they LOST to GEORGIA!
#5 Oregon played ONE top 10 team (#8 Stanford) and they LOST.
#6 Kansas State played ZERO top 10 teams.
Don’t see much there to push Georgia out of the championship game… how about the rest of the top 10?
#7 LSU? They played 4 top 10 teams (#2 Alabama, #4 Florida, #9 Texas A&M and #10 So Carolina)… but they lost to Alabama and Florida… two top 10 teams that GEORGIA BEAT (if the Dawgs beat Alabama).
#8 Stanford played two top 10 teams (#1 Notre Dame and #5 Oregon) and were also 1-1. But they play UCLA who are NOT top 10 in the PAC 12 Championship game… two losses (one against UN-ranked Washington) and a championship game vs an opponent nowhere near the caliber of Alabama… hmmm not Superman leaping tall buildings kind of stuff there.
#9 Texas A&M and #10 So Carolina? One beat Alabama, one beat Georgia. Hear you loud and clear. But why punish Georgia… and not Alabama for these losses? Plus each has lost twice… and both lost to Florida… who GOT BEAT BY GEORGIA!
Georgia is the ONLY team in the top 5 to have a WIN vs. a top 5 team (#4 Florida).
Also… Georgia IS playing #2 Alabama this week so that will be THREE top 10 teams they have played… equaling the 3 played by 2 loss teams Texas A&M and So Carolina and more than EVERYONE else in the top 10 outside of Florida and LSU (and we’ve already covered that).
A win over Alabama would also give them 2 WINS over top 10 teams which NOBODY else outside of Florida (who Georgia BEAT) and LSU (wins vs #9 and #10 ranked teams as opposed to #4 Florida and an at worst #6 ranking for Bama) can match.
So I say again… IF Georgia loses to Bama, they’ll drop all the way to 10th and deservedly so and hello Capital One bowl against some Big 10 team… but IF they BEAT Bama… who is MORE worthy to play in the BCS title game than they are?
Seriously…

hey Athens- get your facts straight;
1. it was two seconds away from being forced into overtime-not losing
2. OT wasn’t needed- bottom line is the Gators won
3. UF had victories over LSU, S Car, Tx A&M and FSU- 4 wins over teams in the BCS top 13
4. UF was 4-1 against top 13 while Bama and UGA were both 1-1
5. Using your assinine logic, UGA shouldn’t even get A chick-fil-a bowl after barely beating the sorriest SEC in years by only 5 points-kentucky…and getting blown out by 4 touchdowns to a team UF beat by 44-11!
*UGA beat UF and was properly rewarded by earning their trip to the SEC championship game. Enjoy it and good luck to you, espeially if UGA beats Bama, but quit bad-mouthing the Gators. Afterall, it is the only win UGA can truly hang their hat on! Florida is 11-1 against the hardest schedule in the country- a nice improvement from last season’s 7-6.

@GatorPhil,
I suspect many a NC have been won on favorable schedules. Just ask SCal. No apologies here. If you know SEC football, you know the SEC rotates without the control of it’s members. And since you decided to be an ass— in your answer to me: How’s 2 in a row feel? I can see it coming now. You think the conference started in 1990 (since you have only been revelant since then) and you will start throwing out post 1990 W & L’s. By the way, we had 10 SEC Titles by 1990, UF 0.

i’d hate to see UGA vs Clemson especially since that is the first game of next season. come on. not a good draw for that game. if we don’t win the SEC, i’d like to see UGA play Michigan. I personally think that some of these little bowl games that don’t really matter change up their formats. Let’s start matching some SEC and Pac 12.

It’s a shame the SECCG loser won’t be going to a BCS bowl as they should be. AL and GA are both clearly among the 8 best teams in the country.
Best of luck to UGA in this Saturday…let’s put the East back on top where it belongs.

Athens- apparently reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. I said UGA deserves to be in the SEC title game. I merely pointed that a bowl looking for the strongest resume would take UF over the SEC title game loser. I see no comments over your erroroneus report. on La Lafayette or the south carolina game comparison I used to weaken your original point. BTW-two in a row sucks, but now fsu doesn’t even have that going for them. I understand that you can only play the schedule the SEC gives you, but why always play a lousy Ga Tech- they’re pitiful, even by acc standards. Lastly, the SEC didn’t start in 1990, but that was about when it began its era of dominance. Since that time- 8 SEC for UF, 3 for UGA; 3 national titles for UF, 0 for UGA, 2 hesiman for UF; 0 for UGA. It’s about time Georgia did something to add to SEC pestige. Although based on the UGA/UF game this year, I’d vote for Jarvis Jones- a one-man wreking crew!

And on the topic at hand, aside from the prestige of a BCS bowl versus a Cap One, Outback or Peach (I refuse to sell out and call it by it’s Truitt Cathy buy-me-a-bowl moniker), there’s a boatload more money involved in getting a BCS bowl bid. THAT’s the biggest concern for most schools.

Any system that would even consider allowing a team like Kent State to play in a BCS game is totally flawed.

And finally must socialism and be brought into every aspect of our lives can’t we have one thing where the strong survive and the weak die. It should not matter how many teams from the SEC, Pac12, Big 10, etc… are allowed to participate. Let the best play the best.

The concern is more for all of the SEC schools since, after the participant school’s expenses are deducted, the remainder of the bowl payout gets equally divided among conference members. Therefore it’s a financial wash to the particular school and the SEC.

Only one bowl game matters. If you aren’t in it, every other bowl is merely a nice going away trip for the seniors. If we lose Saturday, who gives a flying turd what meaningless bowl game we end up in? The Liberty Bowl is just as meaningless as the Sugar Bowl, and that’s sad. But, that’s what the BCS has given us.

The only game that matters is this Saturday at the Ga Dome. It is the National Championship game. What comes after comes… the only difference is the payday. I would pay attention to the game in Miami this January if UGA was in it but only because UGA was in it. But, even then, my pride would be in the fact that the dawgs won the SEC Championship. A tall order to be sure… We match up nicely until you look at the O lines… It will take some creative coaching to overcome that and it does not give me a warm, fuzzy feeling…

Agreed, Happy. Ideally, the top 16 teams duke it out. Screw conference championships and conference limits. Let the fans see the best teams play each other. If that means 6 or 7 of the 16 are from one conference, so be it. The best is the best. Unfortunately, it’ll probably never happen due to the sway of bowl money and the difficulty for fans of being able to travel to multiple games in some complex playoff system. Even an 8 team playoff may be too much to hope for.
What kills me is the opposition to this by the NCAA, usually citing the severe disadvantages this would cause for the student-athlete. I guess this only applies to FBS student-athletes, ‘cuz they don’t seem to have that concern about the FCS football schools with their playoff system that’s been in place for years and years.
Bottom line, it’s all about the bottom line.

He stated in his oppinion, for whatever it’s worth, that UGA was even or better at every position besides OL. His pick was the Dawgs…..Like I said, whatever it’s worth but it did sound encouraging. A good break and some good sound fundimentals in all phases,jump on’em early, and I think we can win this one. We’re just as tallented if not moreso.

The BCS is all about “invitation only” and the sexy teams get the invitations. UGA was a sexy pick in 2007 over TN for the Sugar Bowl. Now it has come around to bite us in the butt. But hey, we did beat Bama and FL that year, in case anyone forgot. Fl deserves a BCS bowl this year and the loser of the SECCG deserves a BCS Bowl but they will only take two from one conference.
IMO, I think the only title that means anything is the SEC Champion. It is won on the field and against the best competition. Beating Ho-Ho State for a national title is like beating GT for the state title.

GT has not been football relevant since 1990, so stick with what you choke at like basketball and baseball.

Why shouldn’t the CG loser be dropped from BCS bowls? If you’ve earned the right to go to the title game, being plummeted to who-knows-where is not right.
That makes as much sense as how Alabama got into the NCG last year & not even play for the SEC title.
& for those of y’all complaining about “Georgia didn’t play anybody”, remember this: NOBODY knew who was going to finish where @ the end of the season, so this whole “___ beat a top 10 team” talk is nothing but pure luck. These schedules were made last year (or earlier), so you play what you’re given. BTW, Arkansas was #10 PRESEASON!
&, for you people whining that UGA didn’t play anybody this year, blame the SEC’s expansion to include TA&M & Missouri (who happened to replace Alabama on this year’s schedule).
Some more to digest is Alabama will NOT be playing UGA/UF/USC in 2012 NOR 2013. So, who got the easier cross-conference schedule?
1 last thing about UGA’s schedule: it was thrown in their face all season long! “You win the SEC East, you did it because of your schedule. You don’t win the SEC East, you SHOULD HAVE because of your schedule.”

Remember 2008? That’s the blue print Uncle Nicks going to use. Jump on the Dawgs early, get a lead. Then use both sides of the lines to lean on the UGA chair” that’s had one leg taken out” until the chair collapses. UGA has to weather the storm early, do that & we ruin ESPN’s day and are Miami bound. If not? Tide rolls 38-13.

I am tired of the shameless politicking of former Florida QB Jesse Palmer, who keeps pointing out on ESPN that Florida only lost to Georgia because “they turned it over six times.” Apparently this “journalist” thinks Georgia didn’t have anything to do with those turnovers. Palmer also overlooks Florida’s dismal performances vs. La-Lafayette and Jacksonville State just before the FSU game.
Fla. got a break in that game too, with 11 minutes left. The helmet-to-helmet hit on E. J. Manuel was missed by the referees, as well as the announcers. It turned the game, which FSU led at the time, 20-16.
Palmer has been hanging out too long with ND/OSU/South Carolina cheerleader Lou Holtz.

I don’t understand what all the discussion is about. The loser of the SEC Championship doesn’t ever go to a BCS bowl. Generally, none of the losers of the conference championship games get into the BCS.
The BCS bowls generally take the champion, and most the time, the next best team that did not get the opportunity to play in the conference title game. (Many times the two best teams in a conference are in the same division… See Alabama- LSU last year. See FSU-Clemson this year).
When you lose late in the season, it kills you in college football. Even in the SEC championship game.
Nothing new here:
Also, we should be focused on winning the championship, not on what happens if we don’t. I am very surprised Saban was talking about this. I’m sure he was asked directly, but its not like him to talk about losing scenarios. Go Dawgs!

This is one more example of how the BCS system is pretty broken. It’s absurd that a team that loses the conference championship can end up with a lesser bowl berth than a team that didn’t even make the championship.

While I love a Chick-Fil-A sandwich and appreciate the support they provide to UGA I do not want to see Georgia going to the Georgia Dome to play the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. What a boring trip for the team, band, and fans. Last year at the Outback Bowl the entire team and band were treated royally in Tampa and had a blast! I hope Georgia gets to go back to Florida for a bowl game and better yet to Miami!

Does it really matter? Go big or go home… Chick Fil A…Cotton…Outback…Capital One…who cares…they are meaningless exhibition games. Only the SEC championship and NC game matter.

Saban and the Tide to the Chic-fil-A Bowl would be great.

Memo to Dawgs–take care of business on Saturday and we won’t have to worry about the other “bowl options”. Who cares where Bama plays other than Miami?

It’s about the money and payouts. They’re losing a lot of money by hitting the lower bowl games vice if they would grab a CapOne Sport or higher, esp, a main bowl game.
