Anybody know if this is actually true? This is the first I've seen it reported and the writer (Glenn Guilbeau) has a reputation for stretching the truth. Have not seen it reported anywhere else and would like to know. TIA

The rule states that the loser can't fall past the Cotton, not that the other bowls must pass on the loser.

I guess Mizzou will never go to a BCS bowl

It would be complete bullshite for Auburn or Mizzou to play in the Cotton Bowl, while Alabama gets to sit at home and then receive a BCS bid simply because they didn't have to play anyone. Auburn and Mizzou should be the ones getting BCS bowl births since one won the SEC West and the other won the SEC East. Both are also top 5 teams at this point.

I thought Capital One took the loser?

Alabama is going to either the Sugar or the NC.

Get ready for it buddy the SEC screws the loser of that game. LSU went to the Chicken bowl in 2005 with and 11 win regular season.

Source? This would be the first time ever and it sounds like message board BS that Guilbeau picked up to me

Ask Mizzou how it was to be #1 in 2007 going into the Big XII championship, only to lose and watch the Orange Bowl take Kansas who played nothing but high school teams and Mizzou, who beat them.

That's what I thought. Hmmm.
A lot of projections have Cap1 taking SEC(2) which have Mizzou in that spot.
Bama and Auburn had the BCS bowls for the past 2-3wks of projections

I agree but that's the problem with this f'ed up bowl system. Alabama is guaranteed to finish the regular season in the top 4 without having won its division. They will back into another BCS bowl.

That's exactly what happened to us in '07. Substitute kU for Bama and it was the exact situation.

LINK???
Jesus Christ people
I'm not saying they have to
I'm saying it's reported that they have to and I'm asking if that reporting is true or false
Can anyone actually answer the question?
