Oh man. This seems very big. Like, second most important bowl game behind the NC big as far as quality of match up goes.
This is very good news, imo.

how often will one of those two teams, having won their respective conferences, not be playing in the NCG?
It's only a big deal if this bowl game goes ahead and takes the next available team from each conference like the Rose Bowl does. There has never been a season in the BCS era where both the Big 12 and SEC haven't had a champion outside of the top 4.

2001. Unranked Colorado upset Texas in the Big XII Title game. #7 LSU upset #4 Tennessee in the SEC title game.

Colorado finished #3 that year.
Sounds like the Sugar Bowl is interested in hosting it. Even if it's Big 12 #2 vs. SEC #2, it would still be a pretty good match-up.
This is no doubt the precursor to the Cotton Bowl being elevated to BCS status and the dropping of the Orange Bowl. Beems will be pissed.

The BCS will cease once the playoff starts.
So we will see which conference has the most male genitals, if it is played in Texas the Big 12 is the best, if it is in Sugar it looks like SEC wins this round.

Upgrade Arrowhead to 100K capacity and play it there. KC is an equal Big 12 SEC border.
Lost in the hoopla of the deal is the significance of the deal............and the significance isn't that the ACC has been squeezed out of having a big time post season partnership. The significance is that this bowl will be the very first conference-owned bowl. Every bowl in the country is owned and operated by that specific bowl. The Rose Bowl, for instance, has a partnership with the Pac-12 & Big Ten, but they are a separate entity. They aren't owned by the Pac-12 or Big Ten. And, that goes for all other bowls.
With this move, the Big XII and SEC are attempting to start their own bowl. It's literally the first bowl that is fully separated from the bowl system. So, whereas the Orange Bowl could decide to sign contracts to host other conferences, this yet to be named bowl will be fully internalized w/in the Big XII and SEC. It'll take some time to shop all of the parts of the bowl.........location, tv, etc. (It won't start until 2015.) But, the expectation is the payout will be the largest in bowl history, and that includes the current BCS. Now, the Big XII and SEC have taken the guess work out of bowl season. They've essentially guaranteed a huge payout to their teams in addition to the playoff payout, and they've guaranteed they will never have to face one of the weak, unattractive (for TV) teams from a lesser league.
Major, major power play, and it just put those two conferences on another level from everyone else, including the Big Ten and Pac-12. As if the Big XII wasn't attractive enough for FSU and others, think about having a guaranteed $20M+ payday for your #3 team (obviously divided amongst the conference), on top of having 2 in the playoffs making even more."

How in the fack is that possible? Colorado is unranked at end of season, but somehow moves up 23 spots to 3rd by winning CCG & Bowl game. This is why the BCS rankings are bullshit and should not be used for ranking. :curse:
I don't think everyone gets the fact that the Conference Champion also has to be ranked 6th or higher; so if like this year where we didn't have 4 Conference Champions ranked in the top 6, then yes SEC has no. 1 and no. 2 get in.

This year would've been LSU, Bama, Okie St, Stanford no? Unless Oregon finished at 6, then they take Stanford's spot
I thought there has been talk that the 4 teams would be the champs for each of the 4 major conferences? Could have sworn I heard this on the radio the other day.

Couldn't be true. They aren't going to blatantly chop out ACC/Big East/ND. They have to give them a chance, even though they will rarely if ever make it
Plus one means 4 team playoff. Top 4 play eachother, with the "plus one" being the additional championship game afterI thought there has been talk that the 4 teams would be the champs for each of the 4 major conferences? Could have sworn I heard this on the radio the other day.

I am prob Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), but I thought that is what the Plus one thing was, to add a game that would have teams chosen by rank outside of the top four.
IMO, it'll be the Big 12/Pac 12/Big Ten/Sec half the years and the other half there will be a spot open for every other conference to compete for against the #2 SEC/Big 12 teams
So does this mean that the Cotton Bowl now just takes the two teams after this new bowl?
