Who should we be rooting for this week to help out our bowl pecking order?
Whomever is playing Ole Miss.
Need Dan and Gus to lose. But we all know that Gus gonna lose to Bama and of course Dans gonna shit the Bed against FSU.
Need the following:Quote:

UK and LSU losing puts them out of NY6 bowls probably knocking us down a bowl slot unless they lose again or we beat Bama. If LSU loses two then it puts A&M equal to us which might push us down a bowl. UK would have to lose to MTSU or Louisville which isn't happening.Quote:

With UF losing last week to Mizzou, followed by a loss this week to SC (fingers crossed), followed by a potential loss to Florida State at the end of the year would make for a pretty hard nosedive from Merlins' country club crew. I could see us jumping them in the bowl pecking order.Quote:

As far as the bowl pecking order, OM beating Texas A&M helps us.Quote:

It may help us a little bit, but I can't pull for those cheating bastards. Agree, let them lose all 3. :)Quote:

OM beating A&m doesn't help us unless you are expecting them to beat LSU, in which case LSU will drop out of the NY6 and we're going to be in the Pool of 6 bowls no matter what outside of winning out. If they aren't beating LSU, they are going to top out at 7-5 with a loss to us.Quote:

If UK or LSU lose again, they are probably going to drop out of the NY6 and ensure we are behind them for the Citrus.
Yeah we need to root for LSU to win out. They are going to finish ahead of us no matter what, so we need them to take up a NY6 bowl spot.
The same with UK, need them in the NY6 bowl spot. UF would have to probably lose to SC and FSU for us to get the Citrus over them. UF to the Citrus barring some great lobbying from us is almost a given unless they lose to SC and FSU to finish 7-5. I doubt FSU can beat UF unless that team spirals into the shitter. FSU is REALLY BAD right now. Any decent team with a heart beat should win that game.Quote:

I think they do if they are in the top 16 or so.Quote:

NC State just took a terrible loss at home to WF. Damn the ACC is a joke outside of Clemson.
That helps us.Quote:
