Here's where the experts have the Dawgs based on the latest movements in the polls:- Capital One: UGA vs. Wisconsin - Sportsline
- Cotton: UGA vs. Texas - ESPN: Schlabach
- Cotton: UGA vs. Texas Tech - ESPN: Feldman
- Captial One: UGA vs. Michigan State - SportingNews
- Cotton: UGA vs. Texas - NBC (worst designed site ever)
With the Cotton Bowl's recent expansion to 92,000 seats, they need a marquee name to not only buy tickets....but to excite Big 12 teams into buying tickets to see the match-up. So I guess that's the theory behind the Cotton. As I always say, I'll believe it when I see it.

I think to avoid playing Wisconsin (again) we need to whip everyone's ass from here on out.
I still see us in the Sugar we don't make the run at the title. Assume we win the east, bama or LSU will be ranked above us (most likely) and the loser of that game will most likely go to the Sugar, as the winner will probably be heading to the NC game.
I am sure we'll get Cotton, with Texas - I say this because I bleed red, black.....and burnt orange. And my mother-in-law lives in Dallas, so a visit would be required. Dammit. Damn Bama.
Right on Trey!
Let's rock and roll!
If we are not in the BCS I could go for the Cotton Bowl. I don't want to play Wisconsin, Mich. St. or whoever else from the Boring10. I do hate the idea of the game kicking off at 10AM local time. But we have a long way to go so lets play our way into a BCS bowl.
The loser of the SEC championship game will not go to the Sugar Bowl unless there isn't another viable SEC candidate--read what happened to Missouri last year being left out, or even Tennessee as well--because those bowls don't like to pick teams coming off of losses.
While we are speculating let me throw out ... BCSNCG in what really isn't the Orange Bowl in a town that really isn't Miami. Anyway, it's the game played on January 8th.
Arkansas did well in ticket sales for the 2008 CB. But note that Arkansas has strong ties to the CB via the old SWC. After dismal sales for the 2007 CB and 2006 CapOne Bowl, I thought Auburn fans just didn't like to go to bowls. But they had record sales for the 2007 Chick-fil-a Bowl so maybe it's just that they don't like to go far. It's been a long time since UGA stunned Texas in the CB. So they would probably do well with ticket sales. Although I wonder if that would eventually hurt the ticket sales for the OSU game in 2009. After all of that jibberish, let me state that it's way too early to start our bowl plans. Let's get by UT first.
Wisconsin's not sniffing the CapOne this year.
Settling for bowl discussion?
A message to the Bulldog Nation.

I guess the cotton bowl might gravytrain Staff being from Dallas.
wait, hopes are already dashed for BCS? isn't it only week 6????
Illinois, Ohio State or Penn State will be in the Cap One Bowl, not Wisconsin. Any of those Big 10 opponents would be better than the Cotton Bowl.
That said, the Cotton Bowl does have a better time slot this year. It's moved from Jan 1 to Jan 2 and the kickoff is 1pm local time in lieu of 10am.
I was trying to do some research this morning. Does anyone know the last time we lost to a Big Ten(11) team when they were in the conference? I know we lost to PSU in 82, but they were still independent then. I went back a ways, but I couldn't think of it.
Why did they expand the Cotton Bowl? The Cotton Bowl (game) isn't even going to be played at the Cotton Bowl (stadium) when Jerry's Arlington Stadium Wonderland opens. I guess the Red River Shootout still has a long term contract with them? I figure they'd jump ship, too.
can they go ahead and tell me all the scores for the rest of the season, so i can quit working?
ugamatt,
Our only loss ever to a Big Ten team (excluding, as you said, 1982 Penn State) was in 1957 in Ann Arbor when we lost 26-0 to Michigan. Other than that we have two wins against Purdue and Wisconsin and one against Michigan, Michigan St. and Ohio St.
Kind of hard to believe we've only played 9 games against the Big Ten in our history. We've even played more against the Pac-10 (16 counting this year against ASU). For comparison, we have played 261 against ACC schools, but that includes all-time games against GT, Miami and FSU, not just when they've been in the ACC (as well as not counting games against USC when they were in the ACC), so that would obviously need to be adjusted
There you go again ky "jelly" scott using that a** word. It must be somthing subliminal!
