No Fiesta or Rose bowl for Kentucky. We have the Sugar, Cotton, and Orange bowls though.

I started to come back with a smartass retort, but the truth is that it is an easy mistake to make since in the early days of the BCS, the bowl and title game were one and the same and then later they went to the +1 game. 1992 Bama won the title in the Sugar bowl, but 2011 Bama did not even though the game was in the same stadium.
Further confusing is the fact that the +1 BCS title games used imagery that was very similar to bowl game played at the hosting stadium.

Just for the sake of it before everybody gets all jiggy. Vols, you are better than this.
Rose - No SEC teams allowed since what 30's or 40's and one of those was Tulane turning down the invite the Tide took.
(Georgia, won / Georgia Tech, won / Tulane, lost)
Sugar - Kentucky has been there and lost
(South Carolina, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt have never been)
Orange - Kentucky has been there, and won : Ole Miss has been there, and lost
(South Carolina and Vanderbilt have never been)
Cotton - Kentucky has been there, and won : State has been there and lost
(Florida, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt are the only SEC schools with no Cotton Bowl gaes)
Fiesta - Johnny come lately bowl that did not start until 1970's and only became notable because it matched up IND schools in the 1980's

au saying they have played in the Rose and Fiesta bowl is like Troy saying they played in the Sugar Bowl because they played in the New Orleans Bowl

In theory the Rose has been a potential destination for SEC teams since it joined the BCS coalition in 1998. It prefers a Pac-12/B1G matchup but will invite from elsewhere. TCU played in it last year.
Going forward, SEC teams have as good a chance as any to play in the Rose Bowl game when it is part of the playoff rotation (as it is this season).

Is this the new way UT fans are going to remind everyone that way back when they used to be relevant?

Yeah and reality is this...
No SEC team has played in a Rose Bowl - the game, not the venue - since the Tide arse whipped Tommy Trojan in 1946. PAC is still afraid to let SEC schools back in the Rose Bowl.

They won't have a choice now. Let's say the final seeding goes Oregon, Bama, FSU, MSU. It will be Oregon v. MSU in the Rose.

Not sure if still a fact but at one point Bama was the only school to win the 4 major (Sugar,Rose,Cotton,Orange) at least 4 times.

Alabama hasn't won the Cotton Bowl 4 times. It's only won it 3 times and one of those, the one after the 2005 season, was vacated.

They will want the SEC teams to play in the first game...
Rose = Oregon vs Free Shoes
Sugar = Tide vs State in neutral rematch game.
If they did it the other way and State met Tide in rematch for NC the rest of the folks outside the SEC would have a total meltdown.

It must have been played in all 4 bowls 4 times
