So now that the top 4 playoff teams have been selected, and now that FSU is out of the CFP, it puts FSU in the Orange Bowl and drops Louisville completely out of the New Years 6 discussions, opening up another spot.
So now that most likely means:
- Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri take CFP/New Years 6 spots
- Ole Miss likely takes a New Years 6 spot with the extra spot opened by FSU’s taking Louisville’s Orange Bowl spot
- LSU goes to the Citrus Bowl
- Tennessee (8-4) is the only ranked team in the “Pool of 6” section - alongside Texas A&M (7-5), Kentucky (7-5), Auburn (6-6). Meaning these teams are going to be placed among the Gator/Reliaquest(Outback)/Music City/Mayo/Liberty/Texas Bowl by the SEC conference…two of those bowls won’t have SEC teams (likely Liberty Bowl and either Texas/Mayo Bowl).
