Now that the regular season is over and I fully expect Georgia to beat LSU next weekend, here’s where I think the 11 SEC bowl eligible teams end up:

Peach Bowl - Georgia
Sugar Bowl - Alabama
Orange Bowl - Tennessee
Citrus - LSU
Texas - Mississippi State
Las Vegas - Ole Miss
Liberty - Missouri
Music City - Kentucky
Reliaquest - South Carolina
Gator - Florida
Birmingham - Arkansas
Gasparilla - Maybe Auburn + APR

If LSU gets an at-large for the Cotton, I’d make the following changes:
Cotton - LSU
Citrus - South Carolina
Reliaquest - Mississippi State
Texas - Arkansas
Birmingham - Maybe Auburn + APR
Gasparilla - Maybe Vandy + APR

The SEC has three 5-7 teams (Auburn, Vandy, A&M). From what I’m looking at, only Auburn (and maybe Vanderbilt) really has a shot if they start looking at APR.

I feel Mizzou will end up in Vegas because other ADs won't want that for fan attendance.
my guess is keenum tries to Lobby to get us in Florida at gator or Texas. My guess ole miss get Texas because Texas bowls love ole miss and the all texas kids that go to ole miss. Florida needs to travel to liberty or music city this time at 6-6.

I think there are currently 81 bowl eligible teams for 82 spots. Rice is the top APR team. Vandy and the Barn are done for the season.

Good research. I didn’t look that deep into it.

Who would our likely opponent be in the Texas Bowl? I'd kinda like to see us in that one.

The Texas Bowl gets the 3rd pick (after Alamo and Cheez-it, and before Liberty) after the CFP and NY6.

If KState ends up in the NY6, I think it could be OK State, unless they want a Texas Tech rematch for some reason.

If KState doesn’t get into a NY6, that might open the door for Texas.

If OU had won today, I would say they would be the pick, but now they’d have to jump a few other teams.

I would be ten times more likely to attend the Vegas Bowl versus the Texas Bowl. Vegas is actually fairly inexpensive accommodations. Casino rooms are very reasonable. Flights from most southeast cities are not terribly bad either.

Not saying it couldn’t happen but 6-6 Florida has no business going to the Gator Bowl. That spot should be either State or OM, and probably us if it’s our preferred destination.

IMO, LSU dropping out of a NY6 bowl pushes us out of our preferred bowls. We’ll ask for Gator or Texas, but get pushed to Music City. Ole Miss hasn’t been to Gator in a long time and will have the fans bought back in after Kiffin signs his megacontract and their huge NIL push. They’ll get to play Clemson or Notre Dame and will travel well. The Texas Bowl will want Arkansas. Especially since they had to cancel their 2020 bowl appearance.

Peach Bowl - Georgia
Sugar Bowl - Alabama
Orange Bowl - Tennessee
Citrus - LSU
Reliaquest - South Carolina
Gator - Ole Miss
Texas - Arkansas
Music City - Mississippi State
Liberty - Kentucky
Las Vegas - Florida (unless facing Utah, then Kentucky)
Birmingham - Missouri

ND would be a tough challenge. I would love to beat their *** and it would be high exposure.

I think SCar goes to the Gator vs ND. They haven't been to the Gator since 1987, and they have a rich history with the Gator with 4 of their first 7 bowl appearances being in that game. SCar has been to Tampa 5 times since 2000. They haven't been to Jville in 35 years. The Gator wants that matchup bad. If SCar chooses the Gator, I think we get the ReliaQuest vs Purdue or Illinois. If not, then we get ND in the Gator which I would prefer. Side note: Would be ironic if we get Purdue in Tampa, because that would've been our opponent in 1999, when the then named Outback Bowl snubbed us for Georgia.

There are actually currently 79 Bowl eligible teams but Army, New Mexico State and Buffalo have five wins with one game to play. Army plays Navy on Dec. 10 and New Mexico State is trying to play an FCS team next week to replace the San Jose State game, which was canceled due to the death of a SJSU player. Buffalo’s game against Akron was postponed due to the massive snowstorm and they’ll play on Friday.

ETA: Army and NMSU would need a waiver from the NCAA because they would have defeated two FCS opponents this season and you’re only allowed to count one toward bowl eligibility. NMSU would probably get the waiver because of an emergency scheduling situation due to the sudden cancellation of the SJSU game. Army probably would not because they originally had two FCS teams on the schedule. The first team on the APR list is Rice.

Depends on the opponent. If ND goes there it will probably be UF. But ND has weird bowl tie-ins to the Citrus and the Camping World Bowl as well as all the ACC tie-ins. ND can more or less pick who they want to play amongst their options.
