Just searching bowl articles and found this tidbit.

"The SEC title game loser can’t fall any lower than the Outback."

Is this fact? How long has this little rule been around? Post 1998 I would assume. Here is the article it came from.

I thought it was SEC Championship Loser couldnt fall past Cap 1
but per SEC statment in the AJC article
http://blogs.ajc.com/uga-sports-blo...ns-not-great-for-sec-championship-game-loser/

"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.”"

Everything out tonight is saying UGA is coming out west to Arlington. I find that interesting as it hasnt happened before and LSU has been said to have sold 20k pre-sell tickets.
But we will see.
