Citrus has to take FL after they get snubbed by Sugar.
So if the conference heads are the ones who place teams in bowls, it would make even more sense for them to put the Vols in the Citrus bowl, especially after watching that snoozefest of an SECCG last night? Amirite? Kinda like a jab at florida for stinking it up the past 3-4 weeks.
If the Sugar Bowl wanted ratings through the roof and hotels, restaurants, etc. packed out they would choose us. Wishful thinking but we are headed to the Outback and at best the Citrus.
We'll know in about 9 hours.
Citrus remains an outside possibility, though I think they'll opt for LSU. Florida's miserable stock is down and still dropping. Whatever bowl gets them will be publicly "overjoyed" and privately pissed off, because they know the sour mood of the Gator fan base will translate to bad economics for the host city.
Outback is the odds-on favorite for our Vols.
Should be in maybe 4-5 hours
I said 9 (really 8, I was an hour off) because of Dave Hart's statement in the press conference the other day. He said he expected the call from the SEC "late afternoon or early evening." Then add 1-2 hours from him learning it to it being made public (by whoever has the rights to first announcement, whether the bowls or the SEC or ESPN or the university).
So I'm thinking around 6-7 pm Eastern time. But you could absolutely be right, could be earlier. That would be nice!
