I don't think it's possible. In this case bama is 13-0, LSU 11-1, Florida 10-2, Georgia and Auburn would both be 9-3.

One of the east teams would have 13 games.

Also, 9-3 Auburn may be ranked higher than a 10-2 B1G team

I would assume more buckeye fans would rather travel to Atlanta than Phoenix. Either location is closer to Baton Rouge, but Columbus is alot closer to Atlanta than Phoenix.
The Buckeyes love Phoenix.

On bucket list and would go.

That would make the Rose, Sugar, Cotton and Orange for me which were the 4 major bowls when I was growing up.

Did you go to the BCS NC in Glendale?

Growing up the Fiesta wasn’t one of the 4 major bowls so it didn’t make my list in high school when it was made and I’m cool with it.

I didn’t go to Glendale because the prices got astronomical and I wasn’t blowing 5k plus on a game.

The Rose Bowl holds 100k so tickets were a lot easier to score and we made a 4 day weekend in San Diego out of it. Great trip.

Army vs Navy is on the list along with Michigan vs Ohio State.

3 more and I’m complete.

Thank God Cincinnati isn't in the B1G.

Thankfully Ohio State doesn't play an FCS cupcake like Auburn does this year (Samford). Funny you keep blathering on & on about Cincy while ignoring your teams schedule.

Troll on WT, troll on!

That is crazy. When I went for the Auburn BCS game I had lower bowl tickets on the 25 for $1050 (each).

The shame I feel at Auburn's inadequate schedule is almost crippling.

It was hard to find two tickets under 5K and the flights out of B'ham were booked. People were grouping and taking charters or flying into Vegas and busing in.

The stadium holds around 60K and the demand on the Auburn side couldn't meet it. Three years later for the Rose things had settled and there were 40K additional tickets in the market so we scored 2 for $500.

Nice! I met quite a few Auburn fans who drove, some using RVs.

I hit the NC games when Phoenix hosts and most Fiesta Bowls. I paid under $400 total for 2 through a ticket broker. Lower level but I was about 20 rows up in a corner. The stadium actually holds over 72K, 79K standing room. Great game. Would have loved to see Oregon pull through. Close but no cigar.
