re: Sugar Bowl importance

Here's the deal with the SEC.

- 1st priority is to win SEC Championship.

- Hopefully if you lose the SEC Championship game, you get to go to the Sugar as a consolation prize. Still kind of a letdown.

- If you win and don't make it to the BCS Championship game (hasn't happened in a while), the Sugar Bowl is still just meh because you already did what you came to do.

- If you get to the Sugar Bowl without going to the SEC Championship game (Florida/Arky), then it is still just meh, because the season was pretty much a bust anyway.

Basically, the Sugar Bowl is a letdown for any of the teams with National Championship Hopes (Bama, LSU, GA, FL). For the rest, it is pretty cool because its probably the best they could have expected anyway.
