Bowl Opponent Remains a Mystery
Florida, Arkansas, LSU, and Tennessee are all in the running for a berth in the Capitol One Bowl opposite Wisconsin. This Saturday's SEC championship game between the first two teams should lend clarity to the picture. A Florida victory opens the door for LSU to join them in the BCS mix, leaving Orlando officials a choice between Tennessee and Arkansas. Given the Vols' tendency to travel and Arkansas' proximity to the Cotton Bowl, Tennesee is the most likely opponent. Auburn is also eligible with only two losses to the Vols' three, but bowl officials aren't interested in a rematch.

BREAKING NEWS:
Jack Ikogonwu (or however it is spelled) was arrested over the weekend for burglary in, of all places, DeKalb. A suspension for the bowl game is likely.
While that is bad news, if he is suspended for only one game and maybe the Spring game this might be enough to drive his stock down in the NFL and maybe bring him back for another ball-hawking year in Madison so he can restore his standing amongst the NFL teams that look out for characted issues.
Thoughts?
MORE NEWS:
LSU has already received orders for 32,000 tickets if they go to Pasadena, and we are still 3 days from the announcement. I have a feeling the Rose Bowl will have a hard time passing up the Bayou Bengals now.
Soooooo.......
What that means is that the SEC will get 2 BCS teams and the Badgers will most likely get the loser of Saturday's SEC Title game and Auburn will head to the Cotton Bowl. Tennessee is a long shot and appaear headed to Tampa for a date with PSU.
