Why was Georgia selected over us to play in the Sugar Bowl last year? We did win the east, they finished second, yet, they got in over us..What kinda BS is that? I was just now sitting here and thinking about that, and I'm wondering if anyone knows.

I can't remember a single SEC Championship game loser getting an at large BCS bid. Anyone know of one (too lazy to look it up)? Usually that loss is the BCS kiss of death regardless of who you beat in the regular season. I know of two cases where teams we beat got the BCS at large over us after we lost the SEC championship game. FL in 2001 and UGa in 2007

It's complete crap that Georgia got in over us. We got to our conference game, only lost by 7, to a team that dominated the NC. Granted that was after our bowl, but seriously. It was complete crap that they got in over us.

Talk to the BCS ranking gurus. There might have been other teams more qualified than Georgia but Tennessee wasn't one of them.

Well fine, put someone other then Georgia in. We beat them. We made it to the SECCG. They didn't. Hmm.

The Sugar Bowl gets to choose any team they want if our Champ is in the BCS title game, I believe. Correct me if I am wrong here, but I think they don't even have to choose an SEC team in that case. They're "encouraged" to, but don't HAVE to......:ermm: and like the other posts have stated here, GA was simply a better choice

Georgia tied for the SEC East champion. We just held the tie breaker to appear in the championship game. So they were the SEC East co-champions with a higher rank and better record. Case closed.

No loser of the SEC championship game has ever gone to a BCS bowl. In the years when the SEC has had an at-large pick to the BCS, it's always been a team that didn't make it to Atlanta.
