Am I reading this right? This will match up the 4th place (or presumably 5th assuming the SEC has a team in the playoff) against the 7th place Big XII team?

quote:
The Texas Bowl also moved up in the selection order among Big 12 affiliated bowls. Beginning in 2014, the Texas Bowl will hold the fourth selection after the playoff seeds are announced. The Texas Bowl has been affiliated with the Big 12 since the bowl’s inception in 2006.

The Big 12 bowl affiliations after the national semifinal teams are chosen: Sugar, Alamo, Russell Athletic, Liberty, Buffalo Wild Wings, Heart of Dallas and the Texas Bowl.

So last year this would have pitted Tech against A&M or LSU?

Brutal.

Chip: you are not reading it correctly.

It's the 4th Big 12 team picked v whoever SEC decides to send. SEC has done away with an "order" other than top 2

Could be 5th place Big XII team. Big XII champion gets into one of the playoff spots or former BCS bowls

Thanks. Didn't know that. Do the SEC bowls not get any say in which team they get anymore?

I cringe at the thought of playing Tech, Faylor or any other Big WTF bottom feeder
