    The Capitol One/Citrus Bowl usually does not take the loser of the SECCG since they do not want a team coming off a loss. That's why Tennessee went all those years when Florida was the East winner. Last year, they didn't think GTHOM would travel well, so they picked UGA. This year, Auburn would be too good a team to pass if they were available. Here's the recent past:

    Year SECCG Loser Citrus/Cap 1 SEC team
    2003 UGA UGA
    2002 Arkansas Auburn
    2001 Tennessee Tennessee
    2000 Auburn Auburn
    1999 Florida Florida
    1998 Miss State Arkansas
    1997 Auburn Florida
    1996 Alabama Alabama
    1995 Arkansas Tennessee
    1994 Alabama Alabama
    1993 Alabama Tennessee
    1992 Florida UGA

    That's only 6 out of 12 SECCG losers going to Orlando.

    For the 2004 Capitol One Bowl, it's down to Auburn or LSU.

    mesquite, actually the Cap1 has the same "free reign" for their Big Ten pick. After the BCS/Rose takes the top 1 or 2 teams, the Cap1 gets to choose the B10 team of their choice. This year was pretty easy. Michigan and Iowa were conference "co-champs", but Meatchicken goes to Rose since they beat Iowa.

    As for LSU's bowl fate, according to everything I have read/heard, KTeamLSU has it correct:

    If Auburn beats Tennessee:
    Sugar - Auburn
    Cap1 - LSU
    Outback - Jaw-juh
    Cotton - Tennessee

    If Tennessee beat Auburn:
    Sugar - Tennessee
    Cap One - Auburn
    Outback - Dawgs
    Cotton - LSU
