Here is my plan on how the Bowl System and Selection Process should be.
Have the Bowls draft matchups by whichever bowls have the biggest payouts, and have the NCAA approve the matchup as far as from a competitive standpoint, so 7-5 Texas wouldnt get to go to the Cotton Bowl because they were UT. Of course this wouldnt include the BCS Bowls
Here is a mock of how last seasons bowl matchups could have gone.
1. Cotton Bowl: #6 Arkansas vs #15 Baylor
2. Capital One Bowl: #10 South Carolina vs #12 Michigan State
3. Outback Bowl: #18 Georgia vs #21 Nebraska
4. Chik-fil-A Bowl: #11 Kansas State vs #25 Florida State
(They could easily pick a SEC team instead of KSU, but I feel like they would take a flyer and take KSU and KSU wouldve have turned out in great numbers)
5. Insight Bowl: #8 Boise State vs #19 Oklahoma
6. Gator Bowl: Notre Dame vs Auburn
7. Holiday Bowl: #20 Houston vs BYU
8. Alamo Bowl: #16 TCU vs Texas
9. Champs Sports Bowl: Florida vs Georgia Tech
10. Pinstripe Bowl: Virginia vs Cincinnati
11. Sun Bowl: Ohio State vs Washington
12. Texas Bowl: #22 Southern Mississippi vs Texas A&M
ect, ect. A team can refuse to go to the bowl that drafted them but that is a calculated risk they have all the right to take

If going to the Sugar Bowl means getting Louisville or anyone else from the Big East then I’d rather go to the Cotton Bowl. A prestigious game with a crappy opponent…what’s the point? I will be so glad to see the BCS go away.

@MoKelly1 A Music City Bowl team from the SEC is usually a 7-win team. Depending on your OOC record, I would say 4-4 or maybe even 3-5 would be the SEC record for that team.

So, if Mizzou really was 7th in the SEC what record does that represent in the Conference —- 4-4 or maybe 5-3. With us playing Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina a 5-3 conference record would not be too poor in my opinion. A 4-4 Conference record would be a little disappointing.

Louisville being an at large bid? Did I miss something….

There is no way Florida is third in the SEC. Maybe third in the East.
