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.

Did you put OSU as an opponent so all Mizzou fans could pretend it was a conference game and you were in the Big 10?

Yes.

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 don't get this, and I'm a State fan. Our stupid fans seem to think that changing a Facebook photo means they are going to pick us. Does it occur to anyone else that they might be using that because its the most recent big sellout crowd that they had.
I won't be surprised if we end up in Birmingham, and rightfully so. We were a 6-6 team.
If I were in charge, Vandy would go to the Gator, Georgia to Music City, Ole Miss to Liberty and MSU to Compass.
MSU fans bitched in '99 when we went 10-2 and were jumped by an 8-4 Georgia team in the bowl pecking order. Vandy deserves a better bowl than we do this year. Slive, do the right thing and send UGA to Nashville.

I'm all for your plan, and I know Slive has a lot of power behind closed doors. Ultimately, the bowls pick in order (except Liberty and BBVA apparently). As for the cover photo, if they had taken one from the same angle at the Vandy side in 2011 it would have been just as cool, maybe even better. We had gold shakers

2)Orange Bowl (VS NIU)
If NIU goes to the BCS (all they need to do is win tonight), they are 100% going to the Fiesta Bowl because the Fiesta gets the last pick. If NIU goes to the Fiesta, UCF will be in the Sugar Bowl. If NIU doesn't win tonight, then UCF will fall to the Fiesta and the Sugar will get to pick a team from a power conference (probably Baylor, OU if they beat Ok St, or perhaps Oregon I guess).

Now that would be ironic.

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.
