Bowl Game Projections

- Start date
I have no problem at all with the Liberty Bowl, just not playing Memphis on their home field.
Yeah, we'd see a lot less grumbling if we knew we were going to be playing an SEC team.
Even a Frostless UCF would be nice.
But, not freaking Memphis.
I think Okie St. will be in Orlando. ISU to Memphis is my guess.
Georgia - CFP
Alabama - Orange
Auburn - Peach
S. Carolina - Citrus
After that for the SEC, you have these bowls are picked by teams in the conference in no order
- The Outback Bowl versus Big Ten
- The TaxSlayer Bowl versus ACC or Big Ten
- The Music City Bowl versus ACC or Big Ten
- The Texas Bowl versus Big 12
- The Belk Bowl versus ACC
- The Liberty Bowl versus Big 12
LSU, Miss St., Missouri, Kentucky, A&M
There are rumors that Texas refuses to play against A&M and Mizzou due to being former B12 members.
My guess is LSU to the Outback Bowl
A&M to the TaxSlayer Bowl
Miss St. to the Texas Bowl
Which leaves Mizzou, Kentucky, for nashville, memphis, and charlotte.
Payouts for all 3 bowls:
Music City: 2.75 million
Liberty: 2.4 million
Belk: 1.75 million
It seems from a conference perspective, that you would want Kentucky to Music City and Mizzou to Memphis.
Of course, the Liberty Bowl could throw a fit and tell the SEC to fill the Belk Bowl instead, but the SEC is not obligated to I think.
TLDR; hope the SEC sticks it to Memphis and sends Mizzou instead.

A Memphis radio guy on twitter is guessing Memphis vs. WVU in the Liberty
Not going to happen but $EC gets generous, fills the Belk and Liberty bowls leaving open a spot in the Music City bowl for an Ia vs Ia St rematch.
Now that would be BARF.... not gonna ruin by bowl vacation time avoiding a bunch of rival bumble bees.
Well that was aggressive.
I don't think there's anything wrong with fans wanting to go to a warm weather locale to play a P5 school as opposed to Forbes' 4th most dangerous city in the US to play the home non-P5 school.
As Campbell said, "**** teams are happy about being 6-6...and **** fans are happy just playing in any old bowl game."
At least I'm pretty sure that's what he said.
Yeah, why would the Liberty bowl not want a Mizzou/ISU matchup? There's tons of story lines there and there would probably be more fans for that game than ISU/Memphis. Not to mention the amount of money coming into the city.
So some like the warmer weather and opponent of Houston, but the shorter drive to Memphis. Is there really nothing to do in Houston? Just asking, cuz haven't looked into it. Can't believe all those different sites of bowl projections hardly even mentioned us for the Liberty Bowl last week. Still can't see who jumps TCU to get into the NY6.
What... in your wisdom... do you think Pollard should be doing that he isn't doing regarding our bowl selection?
It's not like HE FREAKING chooses where we go... Jesus
