Gator Bowl takes MS State in that case. They would still be 7-5 with a loss today, but with wins over Florida and Georgia. They've got one more win than us. If they lose to Ole Miss they still have 3 SEC wins, just like us, but their wins are against better competition (albeit slightly).
Ah, we should never assume in College Football. What happens if all three lose? Not saying Miss. State will, but so far 2 outta 3 have, is that good for us?
What about the Independence Bowl (the one in Shreveport, LA)? Is that a possibility? Since I am currently stationed at Fort Hood, it would be an easy drive for me. However, I don't know what the possibilities are for us. I'm just d@mn happy we're going bowling! A few more weeks of practice and good for recruiting! Go Vols!!!!!!!!
Tennessee will play in the Music City Bowl. Florida wouldn't bring enough fans to watch it, you really think they would travel deep to see them play in that bowl after the last couple years? Think again. These bowls can select whoever the hell they want.
Tennessee will be in the MCB, go ahead and buy your tickets.
