ESPN has us in the Gator. Can't argue with that. Here's how it'll shake out:
SEC Champ and Alabama in BCS
Loser of SEC Championship Game in CapOne
LSU in Cotton Bowl
South Carolina in Outback
Now there are three 8-4 teams for the league to match up with Bowl Partners. Texas A&M, Georgia, and Vandy. Throw in Ole Miss, despite losing to Mississippi State on Thanksgiving night. Georgia is 5-3 in the conference. I think we stand a better than even shot at the CFA bowl. Part of that is match up. For my money, I'd rather get Michigan in the Gator than the presumptive ACC runner up Duke in Atlanta, but still there is an matter of prestige.
It'd be hard to see CFA and Gator grabbing Ole Miss or Vandy over Georgia and Texas A&M, so basically it is the Aggies and the Dawgs for those two. I think the CFA will want UGA fans to fill up Georgia Dome since Duke won't travel. If Duke pulls the upset over FSU, no way Georgia makes the CFA, as the ACC will have two BCS teams and Clemson will face A&M.
But, the CFA might throw it down to get Johnny Football in his last college football game if it is Duke.

There is no way in hell that the Chick Fil A bowl passes on Johnny Football. Especially if they don't have to take Duke. Duke and Miami will have the same # of losses. They don't have to take the dookies
Hadn't considered Miami. Just assumed they'd take the World's Smallest Outdoor Cocktail Party loser. Although Miami travels worse than Duke.
Here are all the details all 4 years I just finished researching :

Sorry, but I can't overlook the horrendous tackling of this squad. Guys are tackling way too high and relying on their hands and arms too much. I don't see anyone burying their shoulder into the gut of the ball carriers or taking out the legs. The fundamentals are sorely lacking.
Richt won't do anything until the fire under his ass gets too hot.
The DL rolled VERY consistently this season. The LBs rolled less consistently, but definitely rolled in and out. As for DBs, the Safeties had so many injury issues, there wasn’t much depth TO roll in and out. They did do some of it, but when you’re playing your 3rd-choice safety, there’s not much behind him to roll. As for Langley, he started mostly out of necessity early in the season because Dawson and Shaq were banged up. As they got better, he fell behind in the pecking order. These same DBs will be back next season, so THEY need the experience more than their potential backups do. Next year is when you’ll want him to roll the younger guys in, in prep for 2015.
How would anyone know what Duke's bowl travel party looks like? Did they did up Wallace Wade and ask him? If so, my uncle has a bone to pick with him.
Btw - doesn't matter what tickets Miami sells to their fans. They are a draw for TAMU fans.
I think TAMU vs Miami is a much more interesting match up than TAMU vs Duke.
As far as the D-line for this year, I am actually happy with their "improvements". The LB's need major adjustments to improve tackling and they need to explode across the line of scrimmage instead of letting the offensive ball-carrier run to the LB. The DB's need a dumber system obviously, because we are getting burnt every game in the Secondary. If GEORGIA TECH can burn you on long pass plays, then you need to change something! Rotation of our young defense will only make us better. Alabama rotates their defense which is why they are so good for so long in a game and on the year as well.
Grantham needs to get fired, and CMR is not the kind of coach to take such action... I hate to say it but fire them both! I love Richt, but he isn't taking the necessary action it takes to win the big games.
