Of the 7-5, or worse, teams in the SEC that are candidates. My ranking to play, in order: Georgia (7-5) Arkansas (7-5) South Carolina (6-6) Kentucky (7-5) Mississippi schools (5-7) Vanderbilt (6-6) Any of the first 3 would leave me ecstatic and would be a nice feather in our caps. 1 or 3 would be my first choices. I have a neighbor that is a Georgia grad and I used to live in Columbia, SC. On 2 and 3, we owe both of them a revenge game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cophbulls Posted November 28, 2016 Group: TBP Subscriber III Topic Count: 417 Content Count: 3,175 Reputation: 382 Days Won: 12 Joined: 08/30/2004 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) For the record Miss St might make a bowl, Ole Miss will not. There are 4 open slots left remaining and only two teams left that can get to six wins (Louisiana Lafayette and South Alabama) so best (or worst case) scenario is four 5-7 teams make it in.Selection is based on most recent APR score. Top four 5-7 teams are N. Texas (984 APR), Mississippi St (971), Texas (971) and Northern Illinois (970). I don't know how tie-breakers are used in case only two 5-7 teams become needed. So it could be Mississippi St or Texas. In either case I am somewhat certain that Vandy or SC will be the SEC rep for the BHam bowl. Also keep in mind that the Military bowl is still possible for USF although geographically i would think Temple would go there and It is possible that BHam picks Houston meaning we go to St Pete.

We will drive up and stay on the 28th, go to game on the 29th, and drive back after the game. Going on limited budget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win against either would put us on the map nationally. Wake has big wins against UVA and Syracuse this year and BC beat NC State, Uconn, and Wake.

UGA would be great for attendance. USC would be my second USC bowl game (outback Clowney decapitation bowl). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'm going for sure. All my years in the ATL dealing with the almost-but-not-quite-as-bad-as-UCF-arrogance from Bulldogs fans, I would throw my year-end budget out the window and force my football-averse daughters to attend for this!
