UT vs. UK for #2 in SECE. Bowl shakeout...

[AndyKellyJ]

Now that UK won! If we win (and Arky beats LSU):

East Conf All
Florida (1) 8-0 11-0 (vs. FSU)
Tennessee 4-4 5-5
Georgia 4-4 6-5 (vs. GT)
South Carolina 3-5 6-5 (vs. clemson)
Kentucky 3-5 7-5
Vanderbilt 0-8 2-10

West Conf All
Alabama (2) 7-0 11-0 (vs. Aub)
Mississippi 4-3 8-3 (vs. MSU)
LSU (10) 4-4 8-4
Arkansas 4-4 8-4
Auburn 3-4 7-4 (vs. Bama)
Mississippi State 2-5 4-7 (vs. Ole Miss)

If we win and LSU loses, we are #2 in the East, and bowls go:
NC: Bama/UF (assuming FSU/Aub wins)
Sugar: Bama/UF
Cotton: Ole Miss
Citrus: LSU (8-4) vs. Arky (8-4) vs. Vols (7-5 East Conference)

Is Citrus bowl a possibility? I think they definitely take LSU at 9-3, but at 8-4? We'd be within 1 game and draw a huge crowd.

Thoughts?

That would be great, but I think its a stretch

 

[orange'nwhite25]

HUGE stretch, the best bet would be the Chick-Fil-A Bowl

 

[GetEmVols]

Why would we go over Ole Miss to the Capital One bowl?

 

[Fullfillmer]

2 chances.

None and a little less than none.

 

[JonWard]

TN is 3-4 in conference play, 3-1 in east.

BTW...Tech will destroy UGA.

 

[VolsNaughtyDogs]

If that does play out ( Vols win, lsu losses) the best case scenario is between the Outback Bowl and Chick-Fi-La Bowls for Tennessee.

The Capital One Bowl is just not going to take a 5 loss team.

 

[DiverDown]

Any bowl better than last years.....But we need to focus on UK and the "Wildcat".

 

[AndyKellyJ]

Why would we go over Ole Miss to the Capital One bowl?

I have read on here that Cotton bowl gets first pick of teams from the West. They would certainly want Ole Miss, right?

If teams are within 1 win of each other, I think the bowl can choose who they want after that.

ps. If we beat UK we will also go 4-1 in the SECE this year, which is huge.

The brawl for second place against Kentucky. My how the mighty have fallen!

 

[volinca]

I just hope we don't play Wisconsin because that was the single most boring football game ever two years ago.

 

[volmanbill]

Wisconsin lost today so that probably won't happen.

 

[VolsNaughtyDogs]

Beating Kentucky and finishing 2nd in the SEC East is the important goal. The bowl will play out how its going to play out.

If miss st beats ole miss and vols beat Kentucky then I think we get cotton bowl. Slim shot but who knows!

No way we are ahead of any out of LSU, Arkansas, or Ole Miss for Cotton Bowl.

you didnt enjoy watching Tyler Donovan being manslaughtered?

 

[VolsZealot]

I am not worried about what bowl game .. We still have to worry about beating Kentucky.

 

[duckman398686]

no way this happens

 

[CardassianVol]

If I close my eyes I can still see Mayo swarming around on defense in that Outback Bowl. I like the idea of the chicken bowl given our record. I'd rather see a game at night, just not in Nashville or Memphis or even the Birmingham ghetto in the day.

I think it's possible the Peach offers us a bid this week to prevent the Outback bowl from taking us.

Outback still has their selection before Chick-fil-A.

 

[crusse10]

What we want to happen is for LSU to now beat Arky (and us to beat Kentucky).
If that happens, Ole Miss will go to the Capital One Bowl, LSU will go to the Cotton Bowl, and the Outback Bowl will give us their bid. That's about as big of a lock as possible.
