Iowa & Alabama

[NCHawker]

Is it a guarantee the Outback is always an east team, or just an assumption that usually works out that way? The reason I ask is we played LSU in the outback bowl, didn't know if they changed the rules. Also, didn't Northwestern Play LSU last year in the outback?

After the Capital One,

Cotton has 1st choice of West

Outback has 1st choice of East.

After each selects, the other may chose a team from the other division....

Not sure where the Chick Fil A bowl fits in.... after cap one or after Cotton/Outback.

Likely that cotton picks top SEC West... Then

Outback will chose from who's left of West or East..more higher teams in the West this year..

Assume Auburn / LSU = BCS

Capital One has to pick best next choice SC, Ark, Alabama

Short answer is Outback opponent all depends... anybody's guess.
