If Nebraska jumps us after we beat the crap out of them...well Outback, you can have their weak **** or as I refer to manure...Pelini. Outback you can have your Pelini.

As the Outback has first dibs on an SEC East team, I think it is highly likely they will select Mizzou. Cotton's tie in is SEC West and I don't see Mizzou getting picked for the Cap One. By rule they cannot fall farther than the Outback. Then the Outback will have to pick a opponent, and Mizzou-Nebraska is an old rivalry (not like Neb-Okla but still a rivalry at least in Missouri's eyes that Mizzou fans if they would ever travel to a bowl game would certainly travel to face Nebraska). That's a scenario where I see us in the Gator. Michigan to the BWW. This is my pick.

I get what you are saying MizzouHawk, but, like the iowa-nebraska rivalry, it's never been much of a rivalry since it was dominate in one direction. This Missouri team would beat the crap out of Nebraska...although Missouri's D-coordinator may help Nebraska score points. That was the worst run defense I've seen in a long time last night. You have to set the edge against a team like Auburn or you are done. I'm not saying Auburn wouldn't still get 300 yards rushing, but not 600...that was awful alignment defense and discipline...actually some of the worst I've seen all year. i didn't get that. Missouri has played very well defensively all year...then that. Strange.

INSIDE INFORMATION: My dad knows the Mizzou AD, Mike Alden, who just told my dad it's Mizzou to the Cotton vs Ok State and Alden said if not selected to Cotton it would have been Outback vs Iowa and that the Outback have selected LSU now, as out opponent.

I like that matchup with LSU. Thanks for the inside information. I'm going to go take a Pelini now.

It's sounding like Iowa A&M

Iowa vs. Johnny FB? RT @MandyWRAL Chick- Fil-a bowl source says bowl expected to have Texas AM/duke. Outback surprised them by taking A&M.

That scenario would set up decent for Iowa winning and Nebraska getting blistered. Would certainly be a joke for it to happen, but it wouldn't be all bad.

LSU QB will miss bowl game due to torn ACL & sprained MCL

Yes this means either LSU or A&M dropped to Gator Bowl, I doubt both Outback and Chick passed on Johnny Football, my guess is Iowa A&M and LSU drops to Gator for the Les Miles Michigan Bowl

Chick fil A rarely ever picks the same team two years in a row, like what has been said of Outback. Makes more sense for them to have A&M instead of LSU.

4:04 p.m. ET -- Earlier today Laura Keeley was reporting that Miami would overpass Duke for the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Well, looks like somebody stepped in and changed that because Keeley is now reporting that Duke will be playing in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, not Miami. Whether or not this means Miami will move down to the Russell Athletic Bowl has not been confirmed as of yet.
