Outback Bowl against Mich State.

I'll take that. Tampa was great other than the game results.

Not sure I'm going that far. I think we will beat Vanderbilt, Kentucky at home, and Tennessee State......but at Arkansas and at Auburn will be tough. Never know with the Egg Bowl, and while it's cool to bail on them right now, they are still a 9-3, 10-2 level team. We're talking 6-6 or 7-5 most likely. Doubt that gets us the Outback Bowl.

Not gonna lie, that's the least interesting NY6 bowl lineup in history.

I think Ole Miss is probably an 8-4 team. A&M maybe be able to jam it down their throat. I am expecting Arkansas to. I don't think @UT is a gimme, LSU, or Auburn are gimmes. Hell, Liberty may not be a gimme. I don't think we're a gimme although they are a terrible matchup for us. I just think they have too many games in play to not drop at least two of them if not three.

I guess he expects 3 or 4 SEC teams in the top NY6 bowl games or whatever they’re called.

I think it's almost a certainty we'll have 3. UGA and Bama will be in the playoffs. Nobody looks that good outside of them, but nobody in other conferences look that good either. Even if everybody else beats up on each other, at the end of the day, there will still almost certainly be a nine win team if not two to fill in an additional NY6 spot.

If you assume we get two in the CFP, #3 and 4 will go to the Sugar and Citrus. That means to get to the tier of bowls that includes the Outback, you just have to be top 10 in the conference. If we manage to get bowl eligible in the first place, we will likely be in the top 10 of the conference.

LSU is a gimmie. They will get them in Oxford and an average LSU team will have quit. I think they go 10-2.

Tennessee and Florida will reach 7-5 probably. One of them would get Outback, with other in Mayo. That leaves Birmingham, Liberty, or Texas for a 6-6 MSU team.

I don't think the Outback Bowl has much interest in us after we didn't travel all that well for the Iowa game a few years ago.

I fully expect us to be in Memphis, Houston, or Birmingham when the time comes.

Houston would otherwise be OK, but they moved it to a really inconvenient day this year (Tuesday January 4th). Schools are still on break at least, but most alums are back working that week.

Georgia is always good for at least 1 unexplained loss and they haven't done it this year yet

I think most people are just hopeful Georgia is as good as they say, due to Bama Fatigue. They really seem to be the only team with a chance. And man the rest of the country is weak this year, maybe Michigan will rise up or something, or Cincinnati makes a run and catches Bama asleep.

9 wins at least. You can't let your predictions be changed by their performance @ Bama. They were ready and I'm not sure ANY team is going to stay one the field with them other than Georgia. If Ole Miss had a really good defense then it might have close but Bama has Heisman Canidates at both QB & RB.

Their QB is solid and would be in the voting for the Heisman if he was at one of the blue blood teams.

Interesting. He has NCState in a NY6 bowl, assumedly as ACC champion since they beat Clemson.

Would be pretty cool if we had a win over a P5 champion.
