With USCe, Ark, UT, Vandy, and probably UM not being bowl eligible, we are going to get a better bowl than we probably deserve. Mizzou is also currently ineligible for a bowl due to the NCAA.

We probably have the bowls: Outback, Gator, Music City, Liberty (just raised their payout), Texas, and Belk.

The teams that will probably be in those bowls picks:
MSU
UK
A&M
Then one of AU, LSU, UF - one of these goes to the higher bowls, one to the Citrus, and one to probably the Outback

would love for the MCB, but we will have fallen on some fortune just to get the belk.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

Belk, Music City, Gator, Texas, Liberty and Outback are all considered "equal" bowls by the SEC. The only bowl that usually gets the best available team is Outback. It's not written on paper, but they usually take the next best after Citrus. The others are just placed based on past years and proximity.

Texas would be a good bowl simply because we have never been there. All the other are just meh

Not that I'm sure we can win three more, but do you really believe a 6 win season gets us into any of those?

 

[Duke Humphrey]

SEC has to fill its obligation before the bowl can go get another team from another conference.
