Room for one more....

Didn't they play UVA a few weeks ago?

That's fair, especially given there's likely only 4 SEC teams available for those 6 spots. The Liberty Bowl is easily one of the two that won't end up with an SEC team. Though one still has to take into account the "Big 10 / ACC / Big 12 team that used to be in the Pac-12 can still be selected...

Dear Tennessee fans, No. Sincerely, The Auburn football team

You also have the possibility of a Big 12 team given the Texas Bowl (although 8-4 Missouri will probably end up there). And you also have to factor in that any Big 10 / ACC / Big 12 team that used to be in the Pac-12 can still be selected for one of the old Pac-12 bowl tie-ins first.

0% chance of ending up in that bowl game this year. Sorry.

0% chance of ending up in that bowl.

Honestly, we're probably looking at only 4 teams - whoever's lower ranked out of 9-3 Texas / 10-2 Vanderbilt, 8-4 Tennessee, 8-4 Missouri, 7-5 LSU - at the "Pool of 6" SEC bowl game level...so who knows who's where at that level, being Reliaquest Bowl / Gator Bowl / Music City Bowl / Mayo Bowl /...

Or the Reliaquest Bowl. Or the Gator Bowl. Or the Music City Bowl. Or the Texas Bowl. Or the Liberty Bowl. It's all the same tier/level and chosen by the conference.

Independence bowl doesn't have an SEC bowl tie-in contract anymore. It's Big 12/independent vs used-to-be-Pac-12/C-USA/American team. Tennessee is thick in the middle of the Pool of 6 Bowl games. The conference will place it in either the Reliaquest, Gator, Mayo, Music City, Liberty, or Texas Bowl.

So taking a shot in the dark - presuming BYU doesn't upset Texas Tech in the Big 12 title game next week - I wouldn't be surprised to see things like: Citrus Bowl: Higher ranked team between 9-3 Texas and 10-2 Vanderbilt Gator Bowl or Reliaquest Bowl: Lower ranked team between 9-3 Texas and...
