Tier as the Orange bowl? There's a reb trying to convince people on Twitter that it is and I wanted to get your opinions on it. I know the payout is a lot more so I would assume it is
Is the peach bowl on the same
- Thread starter dannyripms
- Start date
Yes. Each year, the 4 out of the Sugar, Rose, Orange, Peach, Fiesta, and Cotton that aren't playoff bowls are considered to be equal.
same tier, huge difference in payout from what I can tell
there's a discussion on here, but the payout for the orange is something like 27 mil per team, vs what looks like 3 mill for peach. No idea why that is.

Yes, same tier starting this year. Although, like someone else has stated, the Orange Bowl carries more historical significance and a better perception as of right now. Most casual college football fans still view the Peach Bowl as the mid-tier SEC-ACC matchup that it was in year's prior. That should change rapidly in the next couple of years as soon as the primetime high profile matchups start taking place, and after Atlanta moves the game to their brand new stadium. For right now though, Ole Miss is having to remind everyone that the Peach and the Orange are on equal footing.
Yes they are now considered the same, but at the same time....
....we had to be ranked higher to get in the Orange Bowl. If Ole Miss would have been 7 and us 9 they would have been in Miami

It is to a bunch of college football/message board junkies (me included) who follow the sport closely enough to want details on such matters. To the public at large who like college football but don`t "study" it like we do...probably 90% of the population/TV viewers.....no they`re not even comparable. The Orange Bowl is much more prestigious.

This is why I'm so glad we're going to the Orange. If we were healthy in the secondary I would have liked to see what we would do against one of the other playoff contenders, but even then would have preferred the Orange. Throw in our limitation at safety, an excuse to go to Miami, a bowl that we have been to much less than the Peach, and the fact that we are more likely to win, and it's really a no brainer.
We`ve really been blessed with a golden opportunity to redeem ourselves on a huge national stage. If Dan and the team perform up to their capabilities we`ll go into next season (and recruiting season) with as much off season momentum as I can ever remember us having. We have to step up and earn it though.
Not sure about that
since Ole Miss played Ga Tech last year in the Music City, and Ga Tech was guaranteed in the Orange. They usually try to avoid repeat matchups from the prior year.

The Orange Bowl takes the highest ranked non-champion from the Big 10 or SEC. At least for this year. It was totally based on the ranking.
Correct and that is why . . . . . .
the committee was required to jump State over Michigan State. The committee wanted to match up Baylor and Michigan State rather than have another SEC team in that mix (since OM was already slotted to play TCU). In order to do get State out of the way, the committee had to rank them higher than Michigan State. It works out well for all parties and avoids two SEC v. Big 12 match ups.

This will be our third chance to (Alabama 1st/OM 2nd), so hopefully the outcome's different this time.
True, the committee was REQUIRED to move MSU ahead of Mich State. Given their history of consistency, there's no way they moved the Bulldogs up on their own, or because they decided this week that a 2 loss SEC west team might be better than a 2 loss Big 10 team...
I thought the "national draw" of the Spartans was in the best interests of the bowl and the committee?
