UK 5-5, UT 5-5, Missouri 5-5, MSU 4-6
So we have the hardest row to hoe. There are 11 Bowl opportunities counting the playoffs, 12 if 2 SEC teams get in.
The perceived bottom 2 bowls in the pecking order are Independence-Shreveport, and Birmingham. One or both are not going to be filled by the SEC. IF we qualify with only one team making the a Playoff, which of those 2 gets the SEC pick?
I know I would prefer Birmingham for 2 reasons.
A whole lot more to do there than Shreveport/Bossier.
And with the Independence being on Dec 26, nothing will be open on Christmas night, for any type of entertainment except the Casinos and they suck for entertainment.
So we need some SEC teams above us to lose out to give fewer teams for the Tier 1 Bowls.
