People who are saying who cares if we get to six wins and go to a crappy bowl game don't know what they are talking about.
If we win we will be the 9th bowl eligible SEC team. Missouri is not eligible. Four SEC teams are likely to be in the CFP/NY6. The 5th SEC team will go to the Citrus Bowl. That leaves four SEC teams to be slotted in the Outback, Gator, Music City, Texas, Belk, and Liberty bowl. The Birmingham and Independence bowls are not getting an SEC team this year. Besides any bowl trip being a reward to our players, the options available to us are not crappy bowls.
