Pretty sure the lowest Mizzou will fall is the Outback. I believe the Outback is the SEC "stop gap" bowl this year for the SECCG loser.
Someone else may have better info, but I've heard that from a few folks who know about such things.

I think that's pretty fair assessment.
So, assuming Mizzou loses, that puts Aubie and Bama in BCS Bowls (not BCSCG for either), and I could see it shake out like this:
USC -Cotton
Mizzou- Cap One
LSU- Outback
aTm- Peach
UGA - Gator
Ole Miss- Music City
Vandy - Liberty
MSU- B'ham
Would anybody be really upset about this? That puts the bowls seeded more or less based on conference record, assuming that Cap 1 and Cotton are pretty much equal.

Outside of the four BCS bowls and the Cotton (for historical purposes, really), the Chick-Fil-A bowl is absolutely the best bowl to go to.
The matchup is usually two top-25 teams between southern regional schools, the game is always a sellout and boasts a great atmosphere, the kickoff is on New Years Eve at night so you can roll tailgating-game-NYE party all into one, and you don't have to get up at 9 am with a hangover to head to the Citrus Bowl stadium or Raymond James.
Now that the Peach is in the 6-site rotation for the playoffs and will reach 'BCS' status next year, I do hope to see they keep their SEC/ACC tie-in.

This year the Cotton Bowl is the SECCG loser safety net. Rumor is that the Cotton Bowl wants either LSU or USCe. If true, then the SECCG loser would likely wind up in the Capital One Bowl.
