Here is the bowl picture for SEC

Under the new SEC bowl system, the Capital One Bowl in Orlando (vs. Big Ten/ACC), a long-time SEC bowl, will have the first selection of available SEC teams after any conference schools have qualified for the College Football Playoff, the Allstate Sugar Bowl or the Discover Orange Bowl. With Alabama winning tonight, chances are good they make playoff.

Following the Capital One Bowl, there will be a pool of six bowls comprised of renewals with the Outback Bowl in Tampa (vs. Big Ten), Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl in Nashville (vs. ACC/Big Ten), TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl in Jacksonville (vs. ACC/Big Ten) and AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis (vs. Big 12), as well as new agreements with the Texas Bowl in Houston (vs. Big 12) and Belk Bowl in Charlotte (vs. ACC).

The SEC has also renewed its relationship with both the Birmingham Bowl (vs. TBA) and the Advocare V100 Bowl in Shreveport (vs. ACC). The Birmingham Bowl will have the first selection of available teams following the pool of six bowls. The Advocare V100 Bowl will have the next selection of available teams following the Birmingham Bowl

if no SEC team in playoff, here are teams that would be eligible for above. First team would go Sugar or Orange and second would go to Capital One.

the rest would be divided up on the rest of the bowls. Looks like 10 bowls and 12 teams to go.

here are teams

Alabama
Missouri
Auburn
Ole Miss
Mississippi St
LSU
Arkansas
Texas A&M
South Carolina
Tennessee
Florida
Georgia

Means with Bama in playoff, 11 SEC teams for 10 bowls. If Missouri beat Alabama, likely no SEC team in playoff and then there would be 12 teams for 10 bowls.

4 bowls chose their teams from SEC list. The SEC office will chose the other 6 teams for bowl games

So are you saying we could get hosed and not get in a bowl game? Or am I reading this wrong?

You mean to tell me we have a shot of not going to a bowl?

its possible that one SEC team may not get to a bowl game but there is always the possibility another bowl somewhere with another conference tie doesn't get a team. then they could invite anyone from any conference.

I don't see Tennessee getting the shaft here. Everyone knows how well our fans travel. Especially when they haven't been in 4 years.

Well, we are probably the worst bowl eligible team in the SEC so if one got left out, it would be us. However we travel very well so a lot of bowls would see us as a means of making money.

Yes but the chances that a team gets into a "toss up" game is likely. Some games have no tie ins and would like a Miss St or Georgia to fill in leaving another one open. We will get in due to how starved our fan base is and how loyal it is. I'd say USCe would be 1st out if so

Pretty well-researched and informative, but something tells me all SEC teams will make some kind of bowl and you're missing something about non-partnership bowls being able to pick up our 'scraps'

Does that mean that a 6 win SEC team will not go to a bowl game?

There are four 6-win SEC teams.

IMO we would get in over Arky due to our having 3 conference wins, they only have 2. And we would get in over SC since we beat them.

That leaves us and head coach-less Florida. I like our chances.

We beat south carolina and have the same SEC record as them. We are at least a better team than them.

Mississippi State and Georgia will definitely be in one of the SEC bowls, not a non SEC bowl. There are 10 SEC bowl ties. they all get an SEC team. No way around that. the top 10 SEC teams (by someone's standard) will be in those 10 bowls with Alabama in the playoff.

that's nice thoughts but no one has any idea what the criteria is that the SEC will have to select the 6 teams for 6 of the bowls. Selection has never been done this way so it is just a big cloud as to how it will be done.

I think Florida is hurt by no coach and the cancellation of a game early in the season! 6-5.
