Citrus, Outback or Liberty

[615dawg]

Citrus Bowl happens if:

Florida beats Florida State + Louisville beats Kentucky

Outback Bowl happens if:

Florida beats Florida State + Kentucky beats Louisville

Liberty Bowl happens if:

Florida State beats Florida, knocking them out of the NY6 and into the Citrus.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

I just don't see us going ahead of UK in bowl pecking order if we have the same record and they beat us head to head handily.

Citrus Bowl happens if:

Florida beats Florida State + Louisville beats Kentucky

Outback Bowl happens if:

Florida beats Florida State + Kentucky beats Louisville

Liberty Bowl happens if:

Florida State beats Florida, knocking them out of the NY6 and into the Citrus.

If that's the case, it'll be Outback. Louisville won't beat UK, and FSU won't beat Florida.

 

[Clarence Boddicker]

I don't understand why anyone can be so sure a bowl would choose us over Kentucky, who would have a better record and beat us head to head.

We are the better team, and we would travel better, so I hope it happens but I cannot expect it, especially for a bowl that's routinely taken teams over us in the past.

 

[Cooterpoot]

We aren't going to the Liberty regardless.

 

[PorkRoast]

The only way Liberty would be in play is if we got blown out by Ole Miss. It will be Citrus, Outback, Taxslayer, or Music City.

 

[CagerMania]

Can’t be taxslayer. Rule against going back to back.

 

[615dawg]

The Citrus Bowl would have their pick between UK and MSU.

We would have finished 3-1 vs. 1-3 for Kentucky
We would be higher ranked in the polls and CFP ranking
Penn State is a likely B1G rep and that's a compelling storyline

A game in September would be below these factors.

 

[615dawg]

I think you need to go back and study how the new bowl system works.

Liberty is very much in play IF Florida is not in the New Years 6. That happens if Florida State beats Florida OR Pittsburgh, Utah or Northwestern pull an upset in their championship games.

 

[8dog]

I just dont believe the liberty is really treated as equal. I know thats what it says but team selection says otherwise

tamu has to be a factor if they win. That makes them 5-3

 

[Cap'n Geech]

Are you assuming that LSU is in the NY6 even if they lose to A&M?

Also, this is all based on the assumption that the committee will put 4 SEC teams in the CFP/NY6. That has never happened. In fact, they've put only 2 SEC teams in as often as they've put 3. Not saying it won't happen, but a lot of our fans are taking for granted that they will do something they've never done (if LSU and Florida take care of business).

As far as us traveling better, I wouldn’t bet on it. Our fans have sucked *** in traveling to Florida bowl games the last 3 times we have been. UK also has a bigger fanbase and are about to put a bow on their best season in 3 or 4 decades. And if we don’t land in the Citrus, the whole thread is pointless because the conference is going to send us wherever they damn well please, and we’re just gonna have to bend over and take it. .

Liberty Bowl happens if:

So now we have to pull for Florida? Not sure I'm on board.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

Our travel/interest in bowl games is dictated by the outcome of the Egg Bowl

As far as us traveling better, I wouldn’t bet on it. Our fans have sucked *** in traveling to Florida bowl games the last 3 times we have been. UK also has a bigger fanbase and are about to put a bow on their best season in 3 or 4 decades.

At least a large part of it. Last 3 games you mention were all after EB losses. I will say though we had a much better crowd in JAX last year than people realize

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Outback seems to always pick east team. So I could see them taking Kentucky and us getting the citrus bowl. I could also see LSU and Florida getting shafted out of New Years 6 and us ending up in Nashville or Memphis.

 

[615 Guy]

Buddy of mine works for the Liberty Bowl, we aren't going to Memphis.

 

[Go Budaw]

I just dont believe the liberty is really treated as equal. I know thats what it says but team selection says otherwise

tamu has to be a factor if they win. That makes them 5-3

Missouri is a factor as well. They will be 8-4 just like us, with a high powered offense and high draft pick at QB. That sells tickets and pulls in viewers.

 

[Go Budaw]

At least a large part of it. Last 3 games you mention were all after EB losses. I will say though we had a much better crowd in JAX last year than people realize

We didn’t travel well to St. Pete either, and that was after a win.

 

[615 Guy]

I mentioned last week that we won't travel well to any Florida bowl and was told I am "out of touch". Like it or not we will travel well to Nashville and Memphis.

 

[wtw2400]

We aren't going to the Liberty.

I studied the bowl scenarios.

We'll end up at the Music City or Texas bowl in that scenario.

 

[FlotownDawg]

That game was against a 6-6 Miami Ohio team that we would've scheduled for homecoming during the regular season. It was also the day after Christmas in a crappy baseball stadium. Can't really hold that one against us. We haven't traveled all that well to the Gator Bowl the past two times because we've played in the Gator Bowl three times in eight years. I think we'd travel well to the Citrus or Outback because we've never played in those games, and we should be playing quality opponents in either of those games.

 

[HotMop]

Also at 10:30 in the morning Eastern time. I went and had a great time but it was way too early to expect a crowd.

 

[Shamoan]

so many bowls are on the same "level", its about proximity and interest at that point.

 

[Apoplectic_Objurgator]

We didn’t travel well to St. Pete either, and that was after a win.

dec 26 at 11am is not a fair evaluation
