I really want the Outback..but I'm afraid they take Georgia if they win out..from the looks of this, there is no slotting, the SEC office can pick anyone for any bowl below the Citrus.
It also looks like that the conference will be able to fill all their agreements, right now there are 9 eligible teams, and Auburn should get to 6 with a win over Idaho next week.

Southeastern Conference

2015:
#1 College Football Playoff. Automatic berth to one of the New Year's Six bowl games, the Sugar Bowl versus Big 12 #1 in years the Sugar Bowl is not a CFP Semifinal.

#2 The Citrus Bowl versus Big Ten.

The Outback Bowl versus Big Ten.
#3/4/5/6/7/8

The TaxSlayer Bowl versus ACC or Big Ten.
#3/4/5/6/7/8

The Music City Bowl versus ACC or Big Ten.
#3/4/5/6/7/8

The Texas Bowl versus Big 12.
#3/4/5/6/7/8

Living in Tampa I can almost guarantee that if the Vols win out they will get the Outback Bowl bid and play Northwestern or Michigan.Georgia lost to Tennessee so they Vols will finish behind the Gators in the SEC East. Georgia will play in the Taxslayer Bowl against Penn St.or NW.

Too bad the SEC and the PAC12 don't hook up outside of the Natty.

Not exactly. Since one SEC team will most likely end up in the playoffs, it means the Sugar will select another SEC team(the next highest SEC team available) - since it's not a playoff semifinal this year - so that's actually 2 SEC teams between the CFP & New Year's 6 bowls (with a possibility for a 3rd if one's also ranked high enough).

So even with Auburn reaching 6 wins next week, the conference is currently going to be a team short of all their agreement slots. Another team - Missouri, KY, or Vanderbilt - is going to have to become bowl eligible to fill that Independence bowl spot or else it just will have to pick from leftovers from another conference.

yeah they should make the tie ins for all 5 power conferences

The bowl tie-ins are made by the conferences themselves with the bowls.

There's not one between the SEC and Pac-12 because for whatever reason they don't want to make one.

I'm guessing possibly an attendance concern...maybe because there's a pretty far distance to travel for a team from either one conference or another to make such a matchup.

If we both win out UT finishes 2nd in the East. We won the divisional head-to-head.

Bowl selection in that middle pool is not based on order of finish (/ record) anymore.

The bowls submit to the SEC offices which teams in the range that they're interested in. The SEC teams eligible submit to the SEC offices which of those middle bowl games they'd be interested in. From both of those (and the opponents already selected for those bowl games), the SEC front offices pair teams and bowls.

The PAC12 has bowl tie-ins with the ACC, Big10, and the Big12.

As long as Vols win out they will get the better bowl between them and uga because uga will loose to ga tech.it will suck if sooners win out and make the cfp.Everyone in. Vol country even those nega Vols will be thinking what if or what could have been.

The SEC office may do the "official" pairing but the bowl committee has a lot of say about their game and preferences.

From what I understand the Belk and Music City are the most realistic due to the fact only one SEC team making a new years 6 game. This will push Florida, LSU, Ole Miss and Miss State into the conversation for 4 of those slots. Florida would be a lock for the Citrus, LSU to the Outback, State to Jacksonville, Ole Miss to Music City, Georgia to the Liberty. Now its tricky between UT and Arky because of location and travel. I don't think they would send Arky back to Texas but I think Charlotte would love Tennessee because I dont think that game has sold out yet.

If Florida beats FSU, they are probably heading to one of the New Years six bowls

Hopefully the vols get a bowl in Florida somewhere and not those terrible bowls in Birmingham, Shreveport or Charlotte!
