Around SBN: MLB Trade Rumors: Edwin Jackson to the White Sox, DC next?

The Outback Bowl surprisingly passed on the Badgers in favor of Northwestern and UW will head back to Orlando for the fourth time in five years.

Lots to discuss on this one and we'll have more later in the evening.

Surprise?

NW beat Wisconsin. The pick makes sense.

Yes, surprise.

Even NW figured they were for sure headed to the Champs Sports Bowl.

Who said that?

Since I live in NW country, I’ve been hearing expectations of the Outback.

Not when you consider fan following/attendance factors or overall record, which usually matters more to bowls than head to head matchups.

Honestly

I would rather beat a ranked team (Miami) in a less-prestigious bowl than beat a lower quality opponent. This game will come down to whether or not the Canes can stop what they know is coming on almost every play: John Clay.

The Outback bowl is a joke. I’m a big UGA fan and I’ve started following Wisconsin basketball, although it is hard to in Atlanta. They screwed over the whole SEC by picking Auburn, which was the worst 7-5 team in the SEC. Tennessee and Georgia being much better, since we, well, beat them. So now Georgia is headed to Shreveport. At least you guys get to play in Florida.
