***Bowl Games based on BCS and current standings***
There are only six bowl eligible teams in the SEC right now. Six teams are in the top six bowls, even if a team that's bowl eligible does not have as good of a record SEC wise compared to a teams that's not (Kentucky vs. Vanderbilt/Ole Miss). Then I took the teams that's are one win away and put them in a bowl game.
-BCS National Championship: Alabama (BCS #1) vs. Texas Tech (BCS #2)
-Sugar Bowl: Florida (SEC BCS At-Large) vs. Boise State (WAC BCS At-Large)
-Capital One Bowl: Georgia (SEC #2) vs. Penn State (Big Ten #2)
-Outback Bowl: South Carolina (SEC #3) vs. Ohio State (Big Ten #3)
-Cotton Bowl: LSU (SEC #4) vs. Oklahoma (Big XII #2)
-Chick-Fil-A Bowl: Kentucky (SEC #5) vs. North Carolina (ACC #2)
Not Eligible but have winning records and are close:
-Music City Bowl: Ole Miss (SEC #6) vs. Virginia Tech (ACC #6)
-Liberty Bowl: Vanderbilt (SEC #7) vs. Tulsa (Conference USA #1)
-Independence Bowl: Auburn (SEC #8) vs. Colorado (Big XII #8)

With Tenn not qualifying, it comes down to:
1. Auburn is probably out unless they pull a huge upset against Georgia or Alabama.
2. Since both Arkansas and Miss. St need to win out, and they play each other, only one team could
possibly go, if it wins out. Ark has LSU. MSU has Ala.
3. Miss. is probably in, unless La-Monroe pulls an Alabama.
4. Vandy should win one.
Best bet is that only Vandy and Ole Miss will qualify.

you never know about auburn because when it comes to a rivialry game you can usually throw records out the window and lately tommy has had Bama's number.

Switch Florida into the BCS title game and Alabama into the Sugar and you've got yourself a good set of predictions.

No predictions, this is all based on current standings.

Jimmy, your audience wants to read predictions. We can all look up the current standings and place teams into bowl games. What is interesting is your opinion of how the bowl picture will shape up. It's convenient to have all this information, but we want to read/debate predictions, and this is a perfect setting to do so.
And besides, aren't you predicting that non-bowl eligible teams will win 6 games by placing them in bowl games anyway? Shouldn't you be looking for replacement teams in the current FBS standings in this format?
