Listening to Head2Head today, they mentioned that MSU could possibly go bowling even with losing the next two. Even over a 10-1 Liberty team. What is the real chances of this happening ?

Us getting a bowl over freeze would be hilarious, and it would also be inexcusable toward the liberty players.
Birmingham seems to be a high probability.
I don't care where we go. We just need to keep playing. Keep building chemistry & timing.
The streak will live on 😂
ESPN and CBS both have us in the Birmingham Bowl as of today. You'll see either 12 or 13 SEC teams in bowl games this year. Vandy is the only team who for sure won't go to one. Georgia, A&M, and Florida all staying in the NY6 makes a bowl game for us almost a near certainty thanks to the SEC tie-ins. Solid chance we get in even at 2-8, but 3-7 makes it almost a certainty (assuming that all the SEC bowl games happen).
If it's not Birmingham then the other most likely option right now is St. Petersburg. I'd prefer Birmingham solely based on the date (New Year's Day in B'ham vs. December 26th in St. Pete).
If they have balls and want some money they would schedule an egg rematch. And we would win it.
Agreed! I know it would have never happened but I was secretly hoping Cohen and the Ole Miss AD propositioned the SEC to let us play again since we are both off this weekend.
It wouldn’t benefit them, that’s for sure.
I've been saying St. Pete but the Gasparilla Bowl is actually in Tampa this year at Raymond James Stadium. Good deal, Tropicana Field is a dump and even moreso for football games.
Eh, it really depends on what your two extra SEC games were and what your nonconference schedule would have been.
We added a win against Vandy but added a loss against Georgia. So it's reasonable to think that 4-6 in this schedule would've meant 3-5 against a normal conference schedule. We probably would've beaten New Mexico, Tulane, and Alabama State, but NC State was very much a toss-up. So even if we win our remaining games and go 4-6, the closest translation for us is 7-5 or 6-6.
In OM's case, they added two wins in Kentucky and South Carolina. So 5-5 for them would've been 3-5 against a normal schedule, and probably 7-5 overall.
