The bowls aren't designated as East or West, it's just that for most of the 90's and early 2000's the west didn't have good enough teams to play in the better bowls like the Outback or Citrus. And the Florida Bowls use to shy away from LSU due to our rep of not traveling well, that all started to change with the Peach Bowl Nick's first year and I think they may like to get LSU now.
I would love to have a rematch of LSU-Texas in the Cotton Bowl and beat their brains in. I would also love a LSU-Texas A&M. Notre Dame can also be in the Cotton. If ND beats Tennessee, we may end up playing the Irish. I DO NOT want to go to the Peach.
NO COTTON !!!. Cotton Bowl is a dump, its played at the crack of dawn on a cold miserable morning. Give me the Peach 6 days to Sunday.
I too would prefer the Peach Bowl. Reason being- time of game, proximity to my home and overall atmosphere. Plus I love Chick-Fil-A!
My vote is for the Cotton. I want to get revenge on Fran from his last meeting with Saban. What he did was uncalled for and we need to put another 77-0 type game on him. The Aggies are having a surprising year and think they're back. I want to crush that excitement. Revenge on Texas would be alright also but I don't think I could handle another loss to them. Even though they won the last meeting, I feel like we're above their program right now. Peach bowl doesn't interest me right now. It was good for us in the past but just doesn't feel right. Outback or Citrus would be fine with me.
