Sugar Bowl

[DawgatAuburn]

How does that selection work? Is it simply the highest ranked SEC team not in the playoffs? If Florida drops some this week, and then gets drilled by FSU and Bama, is it possible for the Egg Bowl winner or the LSU-TAMU winner to pass them in the CFP rankings? Is there a required ranking for a team to go to the Sugar?

SEC Team that is highest ranked will replace the team the conference champion that makes the playoff. And the higjest ranked team by the committe goes to the Sugar Bowl. So yes if Florida loses to FSU and Alabama and MSU beats Ole Miss, then there is a good chance that MSU will be the highest ranked and makes the Sugar Bowl. If not still a good chance for another Access Bowl or if not a clinch for the Citrus Bowl which takes the highest rated SEC Team that doesn't make the playoff bowl games. So depending on games around us we still could make the Sugar Bowl but the Citrus looks the most likely.

If we lose are we looking at Music City?

we are currently unranked in the cfb rankings. om is 22. how do you figure we are jumping to top 10 with a win?

He didn't say Top 10.

There's no minimum ranking requirement for the SEC rep in the Sugar Bowl; it's a contract bowl, and will match SEC vs Big 12 when not hosting a semifinal, no matter what.
