re: Sugar Bowl will be site for SEC/Big XII "Champions Bowl"

Now for my personal speculation about how this ends up. The other 3 rumored "tie-in" games will almost assuredly be what was previously known as the Fiesta, Cotton, and Peach Bowls, in which the SEC has 2 pre-existing tie-ins, the Big12 had 2, and the ACC had 1. Thus, it is in the process of being setup so that the SEC will almost always have at least one more team in the tier 1 bowls compared to every other conference, maybe 2 or 3 some years, and will thus keep a much larger piece of the pie annually...

I think you are right about those three being the last three semi-finals sites. So at the end of the day, the winners (compared to the BCS system) will be the Cotton and the Peach. The biggest loser will be the Capitol One Bowl which was the biggest non-BCS bowl but looks to be the odd bowl out of the new arrangement.

Final note: I think they should require the Chick-fil-A bowl to take its historic name of the Peach Bowl to be part of the new coalition...f*ck corporate branding on the bowls.
