I am obsessed with the Peach Bowl.

[DawgatAuburn]

That's the most convenient for me so that's where I want to go.

It means there has to be an SEC team in the BCSCG, and then the other five teams at the top go to the Sugar, Cap One, Gator, Outback and Cotton. As it stands now, I think we end up in Nashville/Memphis/Bham.

Kentucky must go 3-4 to be bowl eligible
Auburn
South Carolina
Georgia
At MSU
Charleston Southern
Vanderbilt
At Tennessee

At Kentucky
Florida (J’ville)

Maybe the scenario to root for is for the above to play out (specifically us and UK) with the exception of UGA and UM beating UT to make all of them bowl ineligible. That would be great. All these tie ins and only seven eligible teams.

[ScoobaDawg]

If we are doing what is best for each of us...come on MSU get to the Cotton.
I'm tired of seeing UM Banners in some places around here because they were here the past two years.

 

[Todd4State]

I miss the blooming onion. I haven't had one since 1999.

I have a feeling that the SEC won't fill their bowl slots this year, so we may go 6-6 or 7-5 and get a better bowl than that record might typically get. The SEC is strong enough this year that we will get two in the BCS. The ACC and Big East suck. The PAC-10 could get two is Stanford wins the rest of their games. Texas being down probably means that the Big 12 will only put one in. The Big 10 will probably only get one in. Boise will get in. Then if TCU or Utah run the table they will get in as well.

It will be kind of interesting to see what the Liberty Bowl does because I'm pretty sure that they would love to have MSU, UM, or UT, all of which are candidates for them. If USM wins C-USA, it may make their choice easy though.

Personally, I would like to go to the Peach Bowl. It's a fairly prestigious bowl, and certainly a good one to go to. And with it having an ACC tie in, I figure we should get a team that we would match up decently with.

I do think your scenario is pretty much on the money. We should root against UT, and that includes when Ole Miss plays them. We might end up sending T-Bob Hebert a thank-you note at the end of the year for snapping the ball and getting that penalty on UT. The problem with UT is they have a ton of fans and travel well, and they have a good historical "name". Not that MSU doesn't travel well , but I'm just trying to think like a bowl committee person. I think any bowl would be happy to have MSU as well. Might depend a lot on how pissed off UT fans are at their team. The fact that we are happy and excited right now is in our favor.

 

[Todd4State]

BCS Championship Game- Alabama
Sugar- Auburn- maybe LSU if Les Miles can beat Auburn and Florida. Maybe Florida if they win out. Arkansas could also be here if they win out as well.

I think Florida, Arkansas, and LSU and perhaps South Carolina are all fighting for the next tier of bowl spots.

Cotton- Arkansas. Could be LSU as well. Arkansas is very attractive because of Ryan Mallett.
Capitol One- Florida, perhaps LSU, South Carolina if they win the East. If Arkansas loses to LSU, I could see them going here as well.
Outback- LSU. Florida if LSU is taken by the Capitol One Bowl. I think they will give South Carolina a long look.
Gator- South Caolina. If Florida or LSU is still on the board, you better believe they will take them.

Then you have the rest of us.

Peach- MSU. It helps that UT played in the Peach last year.
Music City- UT.
Liberty- ????
Birmingham- ?????


Staying at home- Georgia, Ole Miss, Vandy, and UK.

 

[RebelBruiser]

If not for LSU's blind lucky, they'll finish 8-4. They may finish 9-3 though with the voodoo magic, just like they did last year.

Auburn and Arkansas have the best shot at getting the BCS at large if either can finish undefeated with losses to Bama. I'm just assuming another 14-0 for Saban at this point.

In that case, Florida will get the Cap One, assuming they win the East.

If Auburn or Arkansas don't get the BCS at large, they'll end up in the Outback and Cotton respectively most likely, with LSU being the next best choice most likely for those bowls. SC has a shot at the Outback too, though they could end up Gator.

UK (3-2), MSU (3-2), UT (2-3), Georgia (1-4), and Ole Miss (3-2) will all be fighting it out to get to 6 wins. I'll bet at least 3 of those 5 get there, possibly even 4.

Georgia is a long shot though. They still have Florida, Auburn, Georgia Tech, and UT on the schedule. If they don't win this weekend, they are pretty much out of the bowl picture. You'd expect them to beat UK and Vandy, but those aren't givens the way they are playing.

UK has winnable games against UGA, @MSU, Vandy, Charleston Southern, and @UT remaining. They could easily win 3 of those. SC at home is a possible upset for them as well.

You have @Houston, UAB, UK, and @OM as your best shots to get 3 more wins.

UT has @UGA, @Memphis, Ole Miss, @Vandy, and UK to get 4 more.

We have ULL, @UT, @LSU, and MSU to get 3 more. It's looking very plausible that both teams could be 5-6 heading into the Egg Bowl playing for a Liberty Bowl bid.

I think ya'll having MaZoli at QB favors us, because he doesn't know anything about the Egg Bowl. It'll be just game for him.

 

[615dawg]

Its something different, we would play a Michigan/Michigan State/Ohio State team (whoever finishes third in that lot)

How about this scenario:

We somehow end up 8-4 with a win over Arkansas late in the season. If South Carolina were to **** the bed against Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, and ended the season with an L to Clemson, they are 7-5.

BCS NC - Alabama
Sugar - Auburn
Cap One - Florida
Outback - LSU/Arkansas/South Carolina
Cotton - Arkansas/MSU/LSU
Gator - South Carolina/MSU/Arkansas
Peach - MSU/South Carolina/Tennessee
Liberty - no SEC team
Music City - Tennessee/MSU
Birmingham - no SEC team

 

[patdog]

I see us at 6-5.

 

[RebelBruiser]

Which team gets to be MSU on the ticker? And what does the other one get? Is it MSU and STATE? If so, how do you know which is which? Or would they do MICHST and MSST?

I vote that they would go with MSU and OM. You know which one you are.

 

[RebelBruiser]

I know both are on the road, but neither team has impressed me, and since we're a young team, I expect we'll look a lot different by then. You could say the same for UT, but I think we're on par with them.

 

[AzzurriDawg4]

Are you really counting on a stinker for Masoli in Oxford? I get more and more worried about that game as the weeks pass. We better come ready to score a ton of points. If we don't shore up our containment efforts on defense (and I haven't seen any signs of it yet), then Masoli is going to torch us.

 

[Maron Whit]

and turned it into a very hard one by losing to a FCS team and Vanderbilt. You're now looking for 3 wins out of ULL, Tenn., LSU, and MSU. Instead of 1 win. Personally I don't see how you get to 6. You'll beat ULL and one out of Tennessee and MSU. You ain't beating LSU down there, fella.

Funny, after all the scheduling hoopla and this and that, you're now facing the same situation we are, scrambling to get 6 wins against tough competition.

 

[buddawg]

They only had six 1-A wins. Two in the BCS and an average rest of the conference. Hell Auburn went to the Outback with a 7-5 record.

 

[RebelBruiser]

We aren't MSU, so beating LSU, especially in Baton Rouge is an option for us, just like beating Bama is an option for you but not for us. That's just the way it is. LSU is not that good. I still contend that. They are lucky, but not good.

I'm expecting a 5-7 finish, but I don't think it's ridiculous to think we could get to 6-6. I think we've got just as good a shot at 6 wins as UT does at this point. I'll at least say that.

On the scheduling bit, we needed a weak schedule this year. We're taking some growing pains since we were replacing 14 starters with very thin junior and senior classes. If we can get 6 wins and a bowl, this year is a success in my opinion, for a rebuilding year.

I can't say I expected the JSU debacle, but I did figure we'd lose one or two of our first 5 due to erratic early play. I expect we'll be playing a lot better down the stretch, but it's not going to be easy.

 

[patdog]

Out of your 22 starters, 10 are seniors and 5 are juniors. From what I've seen so far LSU is much better than UM and Tennessee is slightly better. Plus both of those games are on the road for you.

 

[megadawgmaniac]

Since it's 2010 and all.

AA - boom, roasted

(p.s. The main company is called Peach Bowl, Inc.)

 

[Maron Whit]

the crazy finish overshadowed a clutch performance by Jarrett Lee to get them in position. Jefferson is out, Lee is in, but again this is Les Miles and he will probably do the dumbest **** imaginable and still win games.

Sorry dude, but I just don't see you beating them. You don't have a Jevan Snead, Mike Wallace, or Dexter McCluster. You don't even have a fully functional offensive line. I understand you get fired up to play them, but it won't matter against that much talent differential.

That your scoring defense is 101st in Div 1 against: Jacksonville State, Tulane, Vandy, Fresno State and Kentucky. There is not a snowballs chance in hell you get to 6 wins.

 

[Johnson85]

That makes me a little more hopeful.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

I want the Peach Bowl too. Climate Control and it's in the a good location for alot of MSU people to make it. I'll be home in NC for Christmas break and that's only a 4 hour drive.

Tothink about what Cam Newton and Ryan Mallett are going to do to Ole Miss. I know our secondary has issues, but Newton and Mallett are going to light Ole Miss up like a17ing Christmas tree...

 

[Theschoolbeneathus]

Its so funny yall think yall have a "real good chance of going bowling", what have yall done to give you anyhope? yes yall are better than crooms years but damn you cant get any worse the only direction you can go is up, First of all, every win yall have had so far this yearis over absolutely horrible teams, georgia is yalls "big win" and that is probably the worst georgia team in the history of their program. Also memphis and alcorn would get beat by jacksonville state, doesnt mean we shouldnt have beat them we definetly choked, but if you think for one minute Ole Miss doesnt have a chance to get6 wins then you really are crazy! We always play LSU hard in death valley even when we had 3 and 4 win seasons and they were national title contenders, we will win in Oxford this year against yall, home field advantage is key, and we will beat ULM, yes we lost to vandy but we lost to them inEli's senior year and in 08 and still went to cotton bowl we only have one shocking lossthis year....

yall better pray yall beat Houston and Kentucky you dont and yall are not going bowling again as usual !
P.S I wouldnt worry about losing Mullen to Georgia, I seriously doubt they want to go after an sec coach with a losing record....

 

[Coach34]

I love this kind of **** from you guys- it's easy to see you guys cracking...we will all enjoy the skull-17's coming your way each week from here on out

It must be sad to realize that next year wont be any better either for the Mississippi Bears

You've made four posts. Three of them are simply attention grabbing trolling posts insulting State. If you want to contribute to a discussion like a rational human being, do so.

And learn to reply.

all of my "irrational" post have been in response to crap other people where posting, irrational is saying ole miss has "no chance" to go bowling or that yall are for "sure" bowling! just my opinion dont get your panties in a wad I just got called a f-ing moron Is that rational? If everyone else is making fun of our mascot I cant make fun of them too, give me a break just relax and quit crying

Is the ONE shocking loss to Vandy or J'State? I would hope that they BOTH were shockers. On the flip side if you lost one, then the next one probably wouldn't be such a shocker <div>
</div><div>/douche</div>

 

[whatever.sixpack]

I'm not sure the SEC should count on getting a BCS at large bid this year. There are 6 automatic bids and Boise and TCU are virtual locks, so that leaves two spots open. It's very possible that the Pac 10 could have a one loss second place team, as well as the Big XII and possibly the Big 10.

If the SEC had a one loss team that'd be one thing, but I don't think that will happen and I'm not so sure a two loss SEC school will be chosen over lets say a one loss Oklahoma and a one loss Stanford/Arizona... Iowa may be a one loss Big 10 team as well.

I think Auburn, LSU, Arkansas, and UF will all lose two games

 

[anon1751035439]

I know Bruiser made that one unfortunate post, but he has seen the error of his ways. Halpert is gold. That's all I've got to say.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

And when I say morons for those three, I mean it in the best possible way. Didn't mean to leave out you and Godfrey. Now Lion O and jackstefano.....that's a different story.

I simply pointed out that Jacksonville State, Tulane, Vandy, Fresno State and Kentucky have scored on you at will ergo the 101st scoringdefense in the country. Granted, you have run up the score in a few of these games, but it has been against teams with scoring defenses only slightly better than yours: Tulane (76th), Vandy (76th), Fresno State (84th) and Kentucky (87th). You still have to play 4 teams that rank in the top 25 of scoring defenses: Bama (1st), Arkansas (12th), LSU (5th) and us (22nd).

Newsflash, itdoesnt get any easier for you douche bagsfrom here on out...you will not win again until November. Its that simple.

Andwhen did you pick upULM? Did Boone squeeze another ****** opponent into the schedule late in the year to ensure a bowl bid? Know your own 17ing schedule before you come over here and put us in our place...

And Georgia might not be a "marquee win", but I betvery few people (State fans and objective observers alike) circled that game as a sure win for us at the beginning of the season.

 

[Hanmudog]

But we damn sure have not lost to any bad ones and we still have Houston, UAB, Kentucky, and Ole Miss to go in the winnable category. At this point I like our chances a hell of alot better than Ole Miss for getting bowl eligible.

I can't imagine what insufferable douchebags some of these OM guys would be if they actually went 5-0 like they should have.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

You like movies bout gladiators?

 

[Hidog78]

The only circled team on the rest ofyour schudule is ULM, four loses for sure and one that about 35% at best at the end of the year. With injuries and arrests will you have a team to take the field?
