re: Why is Auburn even in the Sugar Bowl?

Serious question. They are 8-4 and lost to UGA and Bama to close the season. Florida was the conference runner up. Why are they not in this game?

Don't know about other conferences but the ACC has a deal with the Orange Bowl that the conference runner up goes there if the conference champ ends up in the playoff. SEC doesn't do this I guess?

Florida should have been in, IMO, but I guess they were ranked lower in the polls. Who cares. Oklahoma had a terrible defense, Auburn needs a better coaching staff and they'd win.
