Looks like these will be the bowls that WANT Tennessee. Tennessee is obviously a desirable invite as we haven't been to a bowl game since 2010 and travel well.
I tend to think that Belk Bowl will get the Vols as we are closest to Charlotte (outside of South Carolina who is spiraling downward). SEC West teams are closer to Memphis and even Nashville, so it seems like the bowls will look at that when deciding.
I think we will start hearing rumors all week about which bowl it will be because SEC should get 2 in the Playoff or Invite Bowl Games...Bama and either Mizzou or Miss St in the playoff.
Interested in other thoughts?
Belk Bowl - Charlotte - Dec. 30 @ 6:30pm vs. ACC
Potential Opponent Based on Projections - Notre Dame, Louisville, Duke
Music City Bowl - Nashville - Dec. 30 @ 3pm vs. ACC or Big Ten
Potential Opponent Based on Projections - Louisville, Notre Dame, Miami
Liberty Bowl - Memphis - Dec. 29 @ 2pm vs. Big 12
Potential Opponent Based on Projections - Texas, WVU
