Hey everyone. I have returned from a post-Iron sabbatical of sorts. Thanks for sticking with the HABOTN for at least a portion of your Auburn jones.

So where will Auburn be playing this holiday season?

I have no idea. We usually have a feel for this sort of thing by now. The Southeastern Conference had six teams finish the regular season at 7-5. That makes things difficult on working stiffs like us. The bowls have their behind-the-scenes deals going, but they don't like discussing that publicly unless a car battery and jumper cables are involved.

So we'll just formulate our own truth.

FIRST VERSION
BCS Title Game: Alabama/Florida
BCS Game: Alabama/Florida
Capital One Bowl: LSU
Cotton Bowl: Tennessee
Outback Bowl: Georgia
Chick-fil-A Bowl: Ole Miss
Music City Bowl: Kentucky
Liberty Bowl: Arkansas
Independence Bowl: Auburn
Papajohns.com Bowl: South Carolina

SECOND VERSION (released @ 12:25 p.m.)
BCS Title Game: Alabama/Florida
BCS Game: Alabama/Florida
Capital One Bowl: LSU
Cotton Bowl: Ole Miss
Outback Bowl: Auburn
Chick-fil-A Bowl: Tennessee
Music City Bowl: Georgia
Liberty Bowl: Arkansas
Independence Bowl: South Carolina
Papajohns.com Bowl: Kentucky

What do you think about that?

OF NOTE: Auburn's offense, its apparent revival and its work against Alabama last week has created a buzz that is difficult to quantify. Some bowls may find that supremely alluring. Others may not care.

Scott Chocolate said...: Don't make me fight you, Harrison. Oscar is probably 3rd, behind Grover and Ernie & Bert (as one unit). Roosevelt Franklin gets an asterisk for being banned. Cookie Monster is no slouch himself. Big Bird is the weak link.; 5:09 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Roosevelt, you can do what you want. Your Sesame Street contract is null & void.; 5:12 PM

Dunlap out for SEC Championship game.; 5:21 PM
Harrison said...: bert and ernie take baths together Scott. that's not funny; 5:24 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I'm going to need to see evidence of that, Harrison. I do know that Saban takes baths with Satan. That's probably where he cut the deal to get Harvin out last year and Dunlap this year. I have seen this kind of stuff my whole life, yet I still can't understand how Alabama gets so lucky. FSJ, I won't believe any explanation you give.; 5:32 PM
Harrison said...: OK. I made that up, I'll give you that. but somebody told someebody I know that it's probably true.; 5:35 PM
Anonymous said...: This is a little out of character for me but, seems like JJ needs to get some credit for this.

Wonder how many tx he had to guarantee?; 5:36 PM
