This.

The Cap1 bowl might get to pick first, but ask any SEC fan and they will prefer the Cotton Bowl, because it is the better bowl.

Southeastern Conference
The Southeastern Conference has ten bowl tie-ins.[12]
#1 Bowl Championship Series. The winner of the SEC Championship Game gains an automatic berth to a BCS bowl game, preferentially the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
#2 The Capital One Bowl must select the team with the best overall record among non-BCS playing SEC teams, or a team within one game of the best record.
#3-4 The Cotton Bowl Classic has first pick of remaining teams from the Western Division, and the Outback Bowl typically picks a remaining team from the Eastern Division.

#5 The Chick-fil-A Bowl selects after those two bowls.
#6 The Gator Bowl receives the sixth pick.
#7-8 The Music City Bowl and the Liberty Bowl work with the SEC office to determine the seventh and eighth picks.
#9 The BBVA Compass Bowl receives the ninth choice of SEC teams. In years where the SEC does not have nine bowl eligible teams, the BBVA Compass Bowl will select from the Sun Belt Conference instead.
#10 The Independence Bowl receives the tenth pick.


Who is the newbie to the SEC?

Cotton Bowl $$ < Capital One Bowl $$$

Besides, Capital One Bowl selects first and usually better bowl picks first. So...

Trust me when I tell you this. The Cotton Bowl would LOVE to have A&M this year. Something going on in the back rooms in the state of Texas.

They's some politicking goin on...

Normally I would agree the Cotton Bowl is preferrable, but this year we need ESPN pimping Johnny to get the trophy and there is a better chance of that if it helps ESPN get more ratings for one of its big bowl games.

Us in the Cotton (owned by Fox) = Teo gets trophy.

Absolutely. Don't give a shite who picks first. CB is a better venue, typically has a great matchup, and is a better bowl.
