re: Why is Auburn even in the Sugar Bowl?

Seems shady to me. I'm no UF homer but they got screwed in this deal and I'd agree with the LSU people that they would've been a much better matchup in this game than Auburn. SEC screwed itself by putting Auburn in this game.

Because LSU shite the bed against UF

Which is perplexing, to say the least.

The Sugar Bowl is barely above the Orange Bowl for me. The games are almost always terrible and the quality of one or both of the teams usually leave a lot to be desired.

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.

Auburn also probably traveled to New Orleans better. UF has not traveled well to the last two Sugar Bowls they made.

I thought they they were obligated to take highest ranked SEC team if they weren't in the CFP.

Auburn needs a QB and they'd win.

FIFY

Highest ranked team not in the playoff from the SEC goes per the contract.

LSU shite the bed against UF so
