Gator Bowl…

[SprocketRocket]

Austin Price said on the VQ podcast that if UK lost to Louisville we could slide into the Outback Bowl. We should all be pulling for Louisville this weekend if we weren’t already.

I believe that. I watched Louisville play on Thursday and I think they beat KY. I know it was Duke, but they looked pretty good.

Hubbs said that on the extra point show yesterday also...go cards!!

Not sure why a probable 6-6 unc would play in the gator over a probable 9-3 Clemson. Maybe there are higher bowls than the gator for the ACC

If Boston College beats wake forest then Clemson is playing Pitt for the ACC

Is sunny Florida bowl game riding on UK beating UofL?

UKs media even sees they must win to make the outback. Go cards!

I watched it too. Duke allowed the QB to set ACC records . First player to throw for 300 and run 200 w/ 7 TDs. In case anyone is still wondering about Michigan State’s defense, they’re still statistically worse than Duke’s pass D.

 

[Delmar]

That's a bad take

According to the announcers Saturday, they have the worst pass defense in all of Div 1 football. Ranked dead last. UT might throw for 1000 yards on Michigan State.

give me any slow crappy big 10 team. Whole conference sucks except OSU.

As long as that slow big 10 team also has a slow, immobile QB, count me in.

Wonder who the opponent might be?

We should all pull against Kentucky regardless........

 

[DaddyChad]

How is that a bad take? MSU is ranked last in the Big 10 in pass defense. OSU knew that and shredded them throwing the ball. The announcers made mention to that fact multiple times.

Hyatt would have to catch the ball is the only problem I see.

We played in a bowl In Florida with a 6 and 6 record under Butch a few years ago

Yes, and we had 46 players who had never been on a plane trip to FL. Under Butch’s leadership, we still went there and won!

 

[temptn]

When, data and time, are the bowl selections?

 

[Vol Main]

I wouldn't be surprised at all. Here is a realistic scenario:

If Ole Miss beats Miss St., then Miss St. drops out of the rankings. If Mizzou beats Ark, they drop but still might be ranked in the top 25. Assuming we beat Vandy, ours, Ark and Miss St. records are the same. If AL beats Auburn and T A&M beats LSU (which they both should) then the SEC positions would be:

1. Georgia - 8-0, 12-0
2. Alabama - 7-1, 11-1
3. Ole Miss - 6-2, 10-2
4. TX A&M - 5-3, 9-3
5. KY - 5-3, 8-3 (with a tough game with Louisville to go, but doesn't impact their SEC rank)
6. TN, Ark & Miss St. - 4-4, 7-5

If GA wins the SEC championship:

• GA to the playoffs
• AL to the Sugar
• Ole Miss to the Peach
• TX A&M to the Citrus
• KY to the Outback
• UT, Ark or Miss St. to the Gator - Travel does make a difference. If Ark isn't ranked, I say they take UT over both Ark and Miss St.

If AL were to surprise all of us and beat GA, I believe GA and AL both get into the playoffs, and everyone else moves up a bowl spot. I see this as very possible, but it all hinges on Ole Miss beating Miss St and Mizzou beating Arkansas.

I doubt that Mizzou will beat the Hogs, but heck, I spose it could happen.

Only pull for Vols, hope Louisville beats crap out of them.

You mean you weren’t?
GBO!!

Just thankful we're going bowling this year. With that said, a FL bowl in winter is much more appealing than a Nashville bowl in winter.

 

[freedom fighter]

Tn will go to the Gator, no question.

 

[I4Vols]

Butch made a living on beating the big, slow B10 teams in bowl games

He also made a living by not working

 

[TNinSC]

What's a bigger bowl in yalls opinion? Gator or music city? I saw tennessee Minnesota in music city bowl this morning

 

[Volador]

We beat the Tar outta da Heels yesterday in BBall, so ain't nuttin' but a thing to whoop them thar arses in Gatorbowl.

Bring 'em on!

 

[jhcrane14]

Good, we will crush them in both basketball and football

 

[onevol74]

The fact that the Vols are exciting to watch and sell out bowls with frequency makes them usually get a higher bowl seeding than teams like the Mississippi schools and Arkansas (considering similar records). Auburn falling out of the picture sure changed things. It is half the distance from Knoxville to Jacksonville as it is from Fayetteville, AR. No brainer for the Gator Bowl to grab the Vols and laugh all the way to the bank.

Arkansa would go to The Texas Bowl.

 

[PC Jr.]

Music City. Book it. I already did.

 

[vollygirl]

I really really really hope it's the gator bowl!

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

That would be a good match up for the Gator Bowl execs..
TN is the new hotness and UT fans travel good.
Those young men deserve some FL sunshine after what they've accomplished this season.

Even if you weren't a Vol Fan, locals might go just to see the Offensive Fireworks by the Vols!
