What Bowl Bid Does Tennessee Realistically Receive?

[loosecannon]

Music City Bowl is much better than it used to be. I know some won’t like to hear that.

Nashville is not much of a destination. We used to go all the time, but it is just an absolute mess right now. Much rather Jacksonville.

 

[JCHateSteve]

The Gator most likely. They seem to like having us.

 

[volsfan24017]

Bring on Clem$on. WGWTFA!

 

[Volizona]

Latest projection tonight is Music City vs Minnesota also saw Duke's Mayo vs NC State

NO and NO. Boring.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Bring on Clem$on. WGWTFA!

They're not looking bad tonight,

That’s looking through orange colored glasses. It’s a hot town for 80% of the country.

 

[VolnJC]

Wrong thread

 

[volsfan24017]

They're not looking bad tonight,

We throttled the Cocks.

 

[onevol74]

I have a feeling Jacksonville will sell out to get the Vols. Just not sure about the opponent.
Other bowls who would take us are Music City, Mayo, and Liberty.

Mayo may try to sell UT vs UNC.

 

[Voldirector11]

Looking like the battle of Orange in Duval. Tennessee vs. Clemson in gator bowl. Vols offense against tigers D.

I’m telling you, that will not end well. Venables is a master, given a month to prepare. With the athletes they have and his acumen, it will likely be a repeat of UGA/Bama defense against Vols’ offense. They have found a couple running backs and receivers, too.
Plus, their obnoxious bandwagon fans are still talking about the Peach Bowl win over UT

 

[Sarms58]

I hope we get a good match up…maybe somebody with an extremely immobile QB…

That would be a bad match up…their D would shut us down.

 

[VFLEST94]

That would be a bad match up…their D would shut us down.

I think we could beat Clemson this year. We would be able to out score them IMO.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

I'd be really surprised if Tennessee doesn't go to a Florida bowl. If Alabama beats Georgia, the SEC puts two teams in the playoff and Ole Miss goes to the Sugar Bowl. Texas A&M mounting a comeback right here would also give them a NY6 bowl if that were to happen, leaving Arkansas/Kentucky/Tennessee/State to fill out the three Florida bowls plus the Texas bowl.

I just don't see Tennessee dropping in the pecking order to Nashville or Charlotte after how this season shook out.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

We throttled the Cocks.

I don't look at who we beat that another team doesn't beat or doesn't score as much as UT did

All I know is I'm looking at the game and Clemson D is looking pretty good.

ETA:Not saying I'd want a cupcake team or that we'll lose, I just don't think it would be a cakewalk beating Clemson. Especially with a month of rest, practice and game film

Music City Bowl vs. Penn State.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Jacksonville, Nashville or Charlotte is likely.

Going up against Clemson, NC state, UVA, Miami, Wake Forest or UNC
OR
Penn St, Mich St, Wisconsin, Purdue or Minnesota

 

[knox73]

Would prefer Gator Bowl but Music City vs. Penn State - matchup of two 7-5 teams could be attractive. Penn State lost some really close games and could have won 10 with better luck. Gator might also try to package that matchup.

Does the SEC split the bowl money equally?

 

[PC Jr.]

Music City. Let’s roll.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Music City vs Iowa

Iowa is in the B10 championship game. They’ll go somewhere better

 

[Boston Vol]

Does the SEC split the bowl money equally?

For the most part yes. If the bowl payout is between $4-6 million, then the school keeps $1.5 million and the rest hours into the pool to be split. If the bowl payout is higher than $6 million then the team gets to keep over $2 million of it.
