[NU Sports] Final: Oregon 65, Oregon State 38

[John Labbe]

I hate to mess up your story line, but actually Ole Miss should play  
in the Cotton Bowl.  The SEC team in the Outback Bowl will likely be  
South Carolina or LSU.  The SEC selection process is fairly  
complicated (not unlike the Big Ten process), but essentially the  
Outback and Cotton Bowls each get a third pick, but the Cotton gets  
preference to the West division of the SEC and the Outback gets  
preference to the East division.  So the Cotton will get to pick Ole  
Miss and then the Outback will likely pick South Carolina out of the  
East, although it's not obligated to pick from the East, and may pick  
LSU.  South Carolina's loss to Clemson today somewhat messed things up  
for South Carolina as they were expected to be a lock for the Outback.

I, too, think it would be awesome to see NU vs. Vanderbilt in the  
Outback.  The Outback could pick Vanderbilt (tied with South Carolina  
in the SEC East), although it seems unlikely.
