  Wonder how long it takes somebody to disect this list by picking apart every opponent on it....

  I think Tennessee against Wisconsin would be a great game. Wisconsin is a hard nose running offense, against a physical Tennessee defense. Along with a virtually non-existent UT offense against an average Wisky defense.

  I think that would be a great game if it happens

  Looks like I was wrong. Here is what it looks like now...
  
  BCS National Title Game: Florida/Alabama
  Sugar Bowl: Florida/Alabama
  Capital One Bowl: LSU
  Cotton Bowl: Mississippi
  Outback Bowl: Auburn
  Chick-Fil-A Bowl: Tennessee
  Music City Bowl: Kentucky
  Liberty Bowl: Arkansas
  Independence Bowl: Georgia
  Papajohns.com Bowl: South Carolina
  
  The winners here are clearly Auburn, Kentucky and Arkansas. All 3 finished 3-5 in the SEC, and got equal or better bids than Tennessee and Georgia, who both finished 7-5 and 4-4 in league play. The biggest surprise is Auburn who is going to be playing New Year's Day in Tampa. Kentucky to the Music City Bowl over Georgia and South Carolina is understandable however given the number of UK fans in Nashville and how well they pack that place. The biggest surprise is Georgia, and it's clear that their 4-4 SEC season and win over #7 Georgia Tech didn't mean a whole lot. Then again, is a very repressed state and with a pretty down year for UGA standards, I don't expect the Dawg fans to travel much this year.
  
  I do think Auburn is a better representative in the Outback Bowl against a Big Ten opponent however.

  What is this opinion based on?

  Logic.

  Sleeper- I feel like you have never used logic once in a single post my friend.
  
  All right the three coldest bowls that are played are the Little Caeser's Pizza Bowl, Humanitarian Bowl, and International Bowl. Let's use some LOGIC and break them down.
  
  Little Caeser's Bowl- Location: Michigan
  
  Ole Miss played in 1997 and won (against Marshall)
  
  Northwestern played in 2003 (lost to Bowling Green)
  
  Purdue won in 2007 (against Central Michigan)
  
  Let's call that one a Tie.
  
  Humanitarian Bowl & International Bowl-
  
  No Big Ten teams or SEC teams have made appearances so once again...it's a tie.
  
  
  So I feel like those "SEC teams" can match up pretty well.

  LOL at you including 2 bowls played at indoor stadiums on a list of the "3 coldest bowls"
