Sounds like the Big 12 and SEC have decided to just have their own championship game every year.

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.

[Rage Against the McKee]

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.

how often will one of those two teams, having won their respective conferences, not be playing in the NCG?

Exactly.  Pretty pointless

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

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.

Colorado finished #3 that year.

Good point

So basically the Cotton Bowl

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.

If this game ends up being the Cotton Bowl, wouldn't the Sugar Bowl be the real loser? They would lose their tie to the SEC champion in that scenario.

The BCS will cease once the playoff starts.

[gokatgo]

can't imagine the SEC abandoning the Sugar, but, if they're serious about making inroads in Texas

It will be, what ever they call those 4 bowl games after that happens. Same thing, different name.

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.

The SEC now has a school in Texas so not necessarily

The Houston area can't really be considered TX

So if we win we go to jerry world and if we lose we go to NOLA? Seems like a win win for us no matter what happens.

And the Big 12 has 4.  I crunched the numbers.  4 > 1

Curveball for both conferences and have the game in California

There isn't a stadium big enough.  Maybe Stonestreet will build one, but until then it has to be in Dallas.

They should build a 100,000 seat stadium directly on the border with Louisiana and Texas. That would be cool

[steve dave]

I'd put it on the boarder of TX and FL
