re: Egg Bowl winner to Sugar Bowl?

The same reason a 9-3 OM team that got smashed by UF the same night would. Because, it's how you are ranked now and not in early October before Bama makes your arse quit every year. That game was close. State played their worst game of the year, yes even worse than Bama, and turned it over in the Redzone twice. If we played again I have the utmost confidence State would win by 10-14. Everyone in the country knows MSU is better than A&M. Because a team wins on a given night, see OM-Bama, doesn't mean they are the better team.
