Bowl projections... my guess

[ronpolk]

My thoughts of a kind of grouping and then what I think makes sense beside the school (except for playoff/NY6)

NY6/playoff for the following:

Bama
Georgia
Florida
LSU

Citrus/Gator/outback for the following:

State - outback
Kentucky - citrus
A&M - gator

Both Kentucky and state have played in the gator bowl over the last 2 years

Belk/Music city/Texas/liberty:

Auburn - Texas
Vandy - liberty
Missouri - music city
South Carolina - Belk

 

[Duke Humphrey]

Ill take shot.....

NY6/playoff for the following:

Bama-CFP
Georgia -Sugar
Florida-Peach
LSU-Fiesta

Kentucky-Citrus

A&M-Outback
Mizzou-Gator
State- Music City
Auburn - Texas
Vandy - Liberty
South Carolina - Belk

This is how I see it ending up. It seems like there is a lot of chatter about A&M going to a Florida bowl but it doesn't seem like they care where so the Gator makes the most sense with MSU and UK. I don't know how but several people have still mentioned us having a shot at the Citrus but I think UK makes the most sense there.

So 3 of our 4 losses this year come to teams that are either in the playoffs or in NY6 bowls. And tip of the cap to Kentucky. Not every year they get to play in the Citrus if that pans out for them.

 

[Cap'n Geech]

(CFP Semifinal) Orange Bowl: Clemson vs. Notre Dame
(CFP Semifinal) Cotton Bowl Classic: Alabama vs. Oklahoma
Peach Bowl: Michigan vs. Florida
Fiesta Bowl: Central Florida vs. LSU
Rose Bowl Game: Ohio State vs. Washington
Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Texas
Citrus Bowl: Mississippi State vs. Northwestern
Outback Bowl: Kentucky vs. Penn State
Gator Bowl: Texas A&M vs. NC State
Music City Bowl: Missouri vs. Michigan State
Texas Bowl: Auburn vs. TCU
Belk Bowl: South Carolina vs. Boston College
Liberty: Vanderbilt vs. Baylor

My thinking on the Citrus/Outback: Northwestern was in the Outback in 2015. Northwestern played Kentucky in a bowl last year.

I would like to have a bowl that we haven't been to before and the Outback or the Citrus Bowls would be great for our program because of the history of those bowls. If we can't get one of those, the Music City is a good bowl and it is located in a great city that our fans enjoy going to. The Texas Bowl is a good bowl if we are invited there. I think the team needs to focus on winning the bowl game regardless of the bowl or the opponent to get our 9th win.

SI writer Eric Single says

Citrus Bowl, Orlando, Fla. (1 p.m. ET, ABC)
SEC vs. ACC/Big Ten

Mississippi State vs. Penn State​

I have no idea.

Just a little fun history.

Technically, we have played in the Outback Bowl. We beat Kansas in 1981. It was then called the Hall of Fame Bowl and it was in Birmingham, but its the same game.
