This weeks bowl projections
Why would a 7 win OM team go to the Music City Bowl over an 8 win Vandy?
I would actually rather OM go to the Music City over having a recruiting party at the Liberty
The bowl gets their pick. Music City would pick OM over Vandy because of the fans OM would bring. I think the Liberty Bowl would pick us over Vandy.
This may be true, but if Vandy has 8 wins, I don't think the Liberty Bowl will have that choice. Not sure they can take a 6 win team over an 8 win team. Vandy would be pissed about that, and rightfully so.Quote:

Yea, but I think the SEC has rules that keep this from happening.Quote:

Is there anyway we go to the Liberty Bowl? Or is it Compass Bowl for sure for us?
They can only pick in their order. Liberty is down at the bottom. If the SEC doesn't have enough teams to fill all their bowls the Liberty will get to go else where.
They cant pick a 6 win team over an 8 win team
Vandy and Georgia are likely to have 8 wins
OM 7 wins
State 6 wins
BHam is our only destination, Music City has decide whether they want Vandy or OM
Because Vandy is about 15 minute drive with traffic from that side of Nashville.Quote:

Plus we can call it a NYD Bowl**
Plus, the recruits from Alabama and near by areas (Hoover crew, Cory Thomas, etc.) could easily come see us.
I'd prefer Memphis personally, but just for Beale. I think our recruiting matters more than my bar-hoping.
I know the Liberty Bowl reps were at the Arkansas game. FWIW. I also know the Liberty Bowl likes us a lot- so if they can find a way to get us, they are going to do it.
I'm firing up my private jet right now.Quote:

It seems like they like us more than Ole Miss though.Quote:
