JHoke thinks Auburn to the Chick Fil A bowl is inevitable. 

Looks like Clemson may be our opponent.

You better well damn believe it.

If we beat Clemson, I'm going to claim that we could win any rematch and thus claim the 2011 national championship.

I'm not really sure how it all lines up.  I think if Clemson upsets Virginia Tech (oddly, a rematch), we play Florida State.  If Virginia Tech wins as expected, we play Clemson.

And it looks like the #5 SEC will match with, at worst, the @3 ACC, and maybe the #2?

[AUTiger1]

So, we will play Clemson in a rematch, in the dome to close out the season and then open up with them in the dome to start next season?   Hard to believe the CFA folks are going to go along with that.

Yeah, I don't see that either.

Here's Stewart Mandel's take:

Things are starting to become pretty clear, and I only made a few changes from last week, none in the BCS bowls. The ACC lineup shuffled considerably, with Florida State moving up to the Chick-fil-A Bowl, sending Clemson to the Champs Sports Bowl. The Orlando game really wants to match FSU and Notre Dame, but the Atlanta game would have to either pass on 7-5 Auburn for 6-6 Florida or voluntarily take a Clemson team that would have lost three straight games.

In the SEC, Arkansas appears locked in to the Capital One Bowl. Assuming a Georgia loss this weekend, it's unclear whether the Outback Bowl would prefer the 10-3 Dawgs or 10-2 South Carolina. I gave it the Gamecocks, sending Georgia to the Cotton Bowl. Vanderbilt became bowl eligible, and while the hometown Music City Bowl will have first choice over the Liberty Bowl, the Commodores may opt for Memphis instead, sending Mississippi State to Nashville.

And the Pac-12 is a mess, as no team besides Oregon or Stanford (both BCS bound) finished better than 7-5. The Alamo Bowl will have first choice of the leftovers, and the guess is it takes Washington, sending Cal to the Holiday Bowl. If UCLA receives a waiver to participate at 6-7, its likely destination is San Francisco.

A few reminders:

• After the No. 1 and 2 teams are slotted and replaced, the BCS at-large selection order this year is Fiesta-Sugar-Orange. The highest-ranked non-automatic qualifier (in this projection Houston) is guaranteed a BCS berth if it finishes in the Top 12 or in the Top 16 and ahead of the Big East champion.

• Most bowls are not obligated -- I repeat, NOT OBLIGATED -- to choose in exact order of conference standings. For instance, "Big 12 No. 3" means "third selection of Big 12 teams," not "the Big 12's third-place team."

• I'm currently projecting only two surplus eligible teams (Western Kentucky and Ball State), though Hawaii could become eligible if it beats BYU.

He says Florida St vs. Auburn in Chick Fil A. 

[Buzz Killington]

FSU played in the Chikin' Bowl last year though, didn't they?

AU vs. Climpsum.  NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.....NO!!!!!  How stupid would it be to play the same team 4 times in a span of less than 2 years.  I'm an Auburn man and I wouldn't even want to watch that shit. 

[Godfather]

Fuck no who the hell wants to see rematches, they beat us already. FSU ....FSU......FSU

This game makes sense.  I'd love to go to the ATL but against anybody but Climpsum.  What Einstein is trying to get this match up?  And why would Auburn agree to it?

[AUChizad]

I am so goddamn sick of that game. Might as well just play an SECW team. It'd be more exciting.

07 I guess was 4 years ago, but it seems like last year. I don't remember much of the pregame festivies, but the game itself I remember like it was yesterday. Being all excited that Kodi Burns was about to lead us to a National Championship...well, kind of...as a receiver...

Snoozer...

We might have a chance. I hear we are bringing in a new offensive guru named Franklin......

I remember buying a ticket then promptly losing it on the streets of Atlanta. I also remember you bitching the entire time about that bar stealing your idea for "pay by the ounce" draft beer.

and don't forget that the pedobear made an appearance at that same bar.

Additionally, Chizad got champagne drunk at the bar prior to the game.   Ask Sani, he loves that story.
