Here's what is in the paper: As it is, Alabama is in a three-team mix with Florida and South Carolina to represent the SEC in the Peach, Music City and Independence Bowls. Representatives from all three bowl games have expressed interest publicly in having Alabama in their game.
Shula acknowledged that Florida's win over Florida State on Saturday, which gave the Gators their seventh win, moved Florida ahead of the other two in the bowl pecking order. If that's so, then the Gators could be headed to play an ACC team - possibly Virginia Tech or Virginia - in the Peach Bowl on New Year's Eve. If that happens, Alabama and South Carolina could fill the other two spots and the next pick is expected to be the Music City Bowl, which pits the SEC against the Big 10. SEC officials will help determine which conference team fills each of the bowl spots. UA defensive coordinator Joe Kines said it was a fine line keeping a six-win Alabama team from reaching a bigger bowl game this season. "If you go back and look at this whole year, you can put the plays in a shoebox that meant the difference in us going undefeated and being what we are," Kines said. "It's not like it's 500 plays. There's a couple plays each game." How do the SEC officials help determine who goes where? And who are these officials? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 12:22 PM To: RollTideFan - University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Subject: Re: Re: [RollTideFan] When will a final decision be made << File: reply.dat >> << File: reply.txt >> << File: reply.dat >> << File: ATT00012.txt >> No, actually. It appears to be all or nothing for Auburn. If Tennessee beats them UT gets the SEC's automatic BCS bid. That still leaves two at-large bids. One may assume that Utah locked up one of those this weekend. They should finish sixth or higher in the BCS. So. . . that leaves one more at-large bid. If AU loses to the Volunqueers then they'll surely be dropped below California and Texas. Cal appears to be a lock for the Rose. If so, there goes your two at-large bids. I'll have to agree with Slef on Bama's bowl. It looks like Music City. I think Zook took the Peach away by upsetting the criminoles in Tallahassee. > From: Rick Mc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2004/11/22 Mon PM 12:28:29 EST > > What I was saying is if UT beats AU they get AU's spot in the Sugar and AU would get a spot in one of the other BCS bowls.
