SEC Bowl Projections--November 8th 2008


National Title- Florida Gators

Florida is the most complete team in college football to this point in the season. Other than a lapse against Mississippi, the Gators have dominated each opponent they have faced. This one loss team should win over both South Carolina and Florida State before the meet Alabama in the SEC Championship game. Defeating an unbeaten team, the Gators will skyrocket in the bowls and land in the title game for the 2nd time in three years.

Sugar Bowl- Alabama Crimson Tide

Alabama is unbeaten and should finish the season that way with games against Mississippi State and Auburn, both teams have struggled of late and should not be much of a threat to pull an upset. The Tide DO NOT get to the title game of the way they have been winning. Other than the first half of the Georgia game, Alabama has played bend but not break football….that just is NOT safe and when they are challenged in the SEC championship, they will not be so lucky. The loss will give them only one for the season and that is good enough for a BCS selection

Capital One Bowl- Georgia Bulldogs

After two SEC teams will make the BCS, the Capital One Bowl gets to select the next SEC school and will chose a 2 loss Georgia Bulldog team. The season had such high hopes and it is sad to see them land here.

Cotton Bowl- LSU

The Cotton Bowl is played in Dallas, Texas and will likely select the next best western division team. IF the Tigers can beat Ole Miss, and they should, the Tigers will land in the Cotton Bowl.

Outback Bowl- South Carolina

With the next best record in the conference, the Outback Bowl should select South Carolina.

Chic-Fil-A Bowl- Kentucky

With a new found offense and a defense that is getting healthy the Cats should win at least one more game which will propel them to a better bowl than the Music City Bowl. Atlanta is a hot pick because Kentucky fans travel well and should sell out the Georgia Dome.

Music City Bowl- Vanderbilt

All they need is one win….just one and the Commodores will make a bowl for the first time since 1982. With Tennessee on the schedule they should get a win. Nashville will be the destination as the Dores will stay home for a holiday bowl game in their own city.

Independence Bowl- Auburn

What a SAD, SAD, SAD year for the Tigers…But a bowl is a bowl, although this is NOT what was expected this season.

Liberty Bowl-Ole Miss

Houston Nutt has created a winner in Mississippi as he will led the Rebels to a bowl game in his first season as head coach. Landing in third in the WEST and getting enough wins, the Liberty Bowl should select the Rebels
