Current Bowl Prediction/Situation

[PikeDawg15]

Great freaking game yesterday. Will remember that for the rest of my life 28-3


Now.... Some interesting things have happened since we won that game

Ole Miss might actually have a defense and their defense beat texas a&m ( who we beat In college station do not forget)

We now will get the better bowl game than auburn if we win out.

The committee has shown that they do not care about the Memphis game and that if we have a head to head over a team with 1 less loss than us, they will rank us ahead of them (NC State, Kentucky)

Now.... This is what we need to do to get the best bowl possible

Win out.
Alabama wins out
Alabama beats Georgia in the sec title
They both get in the playoff
That opens up the sugar bowl to the highest ranked sec team not in the playoff.

We will probably be ranked around #25 -#22

Alabama needs to drum roll Arkansas.. Cause i think Arkansas is the key team to watch ... cause if they finish 8-4 and we finish 8-4.. they will be higher... I think...

Now it would be nice for LSU to beat A&M. A&M would then have 4 losses too
(LSU in the Birmingham bowl would be so weird)

When we play Ole miss they will be top 10 coming into starkville..

If we beat them we could sky rocket up and possibly make the sugar bowl if we are ranked ahead of them. which i think they would put ole miss 1 spot below us if we win sort of convincingly.

8-4 Auburn got the sugar bowl in 2018 i believe

but.. If we finish 7-5 .. could be looking at the Texas bowl against a mid tier big 12 team... I got to look at all the bowl tie ins

We have a lot left to play for and We NEED this egg bowl

Good post. Question for you and or anyone.

If you were on a bowl selection committee and you sat down and watched the whole MSU Ark game, which team would you select to watch in a bowl game?

I would want to know who travels better.

I also think it depends on the matchup

If Oklahoma is in the Sugar bowl. Match them up immediately with one of the Mississippi Schools aka winner of the egg bowl

[PikeDawg15]

Im starting to think that win or lose, OM is in a NY6...

Im looking at tie ins and the Fiesta Bowl is an at large vs At large

[BuckyIsAB****]

OM does not have a defense

[Coursesuper]

OM does not have a defense
Bingo A&M has no QB UM did what we did make that guy beat us, which he couldn?t do.

That unstoppable OM offense looked pretty human to me at times

Yeah, They generated all of 20 points(7 given to them on a short field after a to). They haven't exactly been scary in recent weeks.

Well with Matty boy saving himself for the draft, he isn't running like he did earlier in the year and that makes their offense very ordinary

[Coach34]

9-3 teams will get better bowls than 8-4 teams. This isnt hard

[Coursesuper]

Very, the tempo is a challenge but it?s not that complicated.

[Dak Holliday]

Agree. Like button push 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼

[ShotgunDawg]

9-3 teams will get better bowls than 8-4 teams. This isnt hard

Eh. Not sure about that when our resume will be better & we'll have head to head wins over the 9-3 teams.

You could be right, but it's no certainty

[ShotgunDawg]

Agree. Like button push ������������

Why would you like that?

Why should a team that finishes ahead of the 9-3 team in the SEC with head to head wins vs both get a worse bowl just because of a screw job at Memphis & Arkansas?

There is a real debate here

[PikeDawg15]

Exactly.

The playoff committee told us that the Memphis game didn't matter when they ranked us with 3 losses above 2 loss Kentucky and 2 loss NC State.

Possibly for the bowl selection maybe. But there is an outside shot we get the sugar bowl if Bama wins out and beats Georgia and they both are in the playoff

That opens up the sugar bowl to the highest ranked sec team that isn't in the playoff.

We will be ranked somewhere like #22 or #21 tomorrow and then tennessee state blowout would move us up.

Arkansas could get crushed next week @Alabama so they get knocked out completely.

We will be playing a top 10 Ole miss that is probably #8 or #7 coming into the egg bowl and depending on how we win....

Arkansas plays Missouri on rivalry week so that wont bump them up that much if they win.

We have a shot but nothing matters if we do not win... but it is still a possibility depending on how these games play out and the rankings tomorrow .

I will be watching closely

And also. Alabama at#2 is very telling. They want bama and Georgia both

If Bama loses on a last second game winning field goal, you think they fall from #2 all the way out of the top 4? Especially if lets say oregon loses a game

Yep. Unfortunately, The bowls have proven numerous years; They will take a school with a larger fan base than us. Even in the years that we beat said larger school head to head.

IF....IF....Florida and UT win out... they will be throwing their weight around to move up the pecking order. UT will win out. Florida probably not.

There could be quite a log jam of schools fighting over those 6 middle tier bowls.

They couldn't put a 6-6 LSU over an 8-4 MSU
now 7-5 MSU and 7-5 Tennessee. Tennessee gets the bigger bowl 100%

[parabrave]

LSU fans and FLA fans won't travel to a lessor than NY6 bowl game. Now UT, Arky and KY fans will travel heavily for a Florida or another mid tier bowl/

I was at that game. We went to the ECU @ Memphis game. After Dawgs' win we were so full of college football that we found TAMU @ UMiss tickets had dropped to acceptable $$$ for seats between the 20s. I love pulling off a college football doubleheader. Scheduling and time slot stars have to align just right but I've managed to do it four times and it is college football nirvana.

Anyway, Rebels' offense just isn't as scary as so many think it is. After giving credit where it is due, the Ole Miss team I saw Saturday night is not going to walk into Starkville and win without getting a lot of breaks. If we mind our mistakes, we are gonna beat their a$$ like a drum.
