Post the realistic bowl selections for your team that you...
1)think is the best (include ideal realistic opponent).
2)think is the worst (include worst realistic case scenario opponent).
3)think is most likely(include most likely opponent).
Thinking outside of the typical bowl rankings is encouraged (for example I would rather go to a "worse" bowl than the Cotton Bowl if it means getting an out of state game.

1) Cotton vs Oklahoma, though it'd probably be Baylor, but I'd still rather play a higher profile team, despite Baylor's beat down of the Sooners
2) Outback vs Iowa. Been there, done that.
3) Cap 1 vs Wisconsin

1) Gator Bowl: Vanderbilt vs. Michigan. This is actually Saturday Down South's projection. I personally like it. How funny would it be for Vandy to beat a team who lost to the mighty OSU by 1? It also gets Vandy out of state and away from Birmingham.
2) BBVA Compass Bowl: Vanderbilt vs. Rutgers. It's Birmingham. Even the typically calm Vandy fanbase would have to tone down cheering and excitement to avoid having Legion Field crumble beneath our feet. Ok, but seriously, it's out of state, but I'd rather go to the Liberty Bowl than this. Music City does have more prestige, but I'd rather not be able to walk from bowl stadium to Vandy's campus. Still, MCB>BBVA.
3) BBVA Compass Bowl: Vanderbilt vs. Rutgers. Sadly, it seems most likely. MCB will NOT take Vandy. They would almost breach SEC contract before taking us. It's just a bad situation to take the home team, especially one who has been to your bowl twice in 5 years. The Gator Bowl is a stretch pick that jumps us over UGA in the rankings requiring Gator Bowl selectors to take the rising Commodores over the sullen and disappointed Bulldogs. I think we're the better choice because Vandy fans would flock in droves for the upgrade while UGA fans view it almost as a slap in the face participation medal. Finally, the Liberty seems hell bent on having MSU, even using their last trip as their cover photo on facebook. So...Birmingham, woohoo. (When did you ever think a Vandy fan would actually be disappointed by a bowl trip?)

I'll do a sig/avi bet with any LSU poster who wants to bet me that A&M will be in a higher bowl than LSU. We've got a larger fanbase, a more exciting offense, a better TV market, and our fans actually travel. Also, people love to watch Texans play football.
