I know it's early, only 2 weeks into the season; but Fox has released their latest bowl projections. They have Bama playing Miami in the Peach Bowl! Which means a Peach Bowl bid would constitute an 8-9 win season.

The Peach has been trying to get Bama over for YEARS, and I for one wouldn't mind it one bit, both from the fact that we'd finish with 9 wins (which I think it would take) and in that it's 5 miles from my house. RTR.

Definitely way too early to get an accuracy here, but playing Miami in the Peach would not be a bad way to end the year. I'd love to get a return trip to the Cotton, but that may be too tough with our road schedule.

Aubs vs. Louisville in the Sugar would be an interesting match-up, considering Petrino was the guy who was ready to come to Auburn a few years ago when the administration was knifing Tub in the back!

It's only about 20 from my house so the Peach bowl would be fine with me as well.

Peach Bowl would be nice indeed. Are they a New Years Day Bowl?

Also, Louisville vs the Aubs would be great...in the weedwacker bowl!!:biggrin2: :BigA:

I think Bama would pack the Peach Bowl - of course, we'll pack ANY bowl we go to. Just ask the folks at the Hula Bowl (now the Hawaii Bowl). Not too sure I want to play the 'Canes, though. If the O line doesn't improve, that could be ugly.

If Bama goes to the Peach Bowl this year I'd say that's a job well done and at least an 8-4 season...the next best bowls to New Year's Day bowls = Peach Bowl and Holiday Bowl.

Anyone else notice that they have South Carolina/Clemson in the Music City Bowl? That would be almost like a double-header since they play each other right before the bowls.

I'd be more than happy for Bama to go the Peach Bowl...but i wasn't happy with the prediction of USC vs Ohio St. I'm just tired of seeing USC in the title game...it's time for someone else...

Yeah, kinda shows you how much thought they really put into this thing. They also have Ole Myth going to a bowl, which looks doubtful.

Bama better step it up or they will be in nashville again. Hate to see it but that close to home for me. RTR
