What Bowl Bid Does Tennessee Realistically Receive?

[ButchBettaBeGone]

Taxslayer reps were at the game tonight.

Looking at candy...right,??

Glad we put them back in place!

If thats true I think we would get the Gator...UK went there last year and bowls are sometimes reluctant to take same team...UK fans would travel to Nashville more...think Cats deserve a better bowl though they are like 4th in SEC...If UGA and Bama get into CFP that puts Ole Miss in the Sugar so don't see how UK at 9-3 aren't taken by Citrus or Outback

I see what you mean; Ole Miss could feasibly go to the Sugar or Fiesta bowl in these scenarios, leaving more options for other teams. It all depends on what happens with Bama and UGA. So Gator bowl is best case scenario for the Vols, and Music City and Dukes Mayo in Charlotte as worst case. Praying for a Florida trip…

Other Possibilities…
Georgia- CFP
Alabama- Sugar or CFP
Ole Miss- Sugar or Fiesta
Arkansas- Peach
Texas A&M- Citrus
Kentucky- Outback
Tennessee- Gator
Miss State- Music City

I’m hearing the Cigar Bowl

 

[airvols]

I think is going to be Music City, it’s turned into the number one destination for the NFL. This bowl pays almost twice what the Taxslayer pays. As far as a tourist destination Nashville is way bigger than Jacksonville.

 

[volmanNC]

I think we'd wallop either of those.

NCSU has a good team with a quality QB. This would not be an easy game.

There is a chance Peach or Outback takes UT but I agree that Gator, Music City or Charlotte are the likely pick

Penn State in any bowl. I'd love to see them beat the brakes off of James Franklin..

Doesnt matter the payout...all the money goes to SEC office and distributed out to all the teams...

 

[Yanks24]

UT vs Wake in the Gator. That would be crazy. A 55-52 type of game possibly.

exactly

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Music City is happening

 

[volbound1700]

I am thinking Music City Bowl.

 

[Ty4Vols]

I'm going with the Gator Bowl against Clemson.

 

[24/7vol]

I'm just glad that we're bowling again and getting that extra practice time.

I've heard that officials in Nashville aren't dying for tennessee. They want an SEC team that has to travel and will stay all weekend for better revenue at the bars and restaurants. With Tennessee half the crowd drives to the stadium and swerves home lol.
Edit: if the rumor of the Spring Game in Nissan is true then Florida or NC are better bowls for easy recruiting purposes for prospects in those states to attend. Tennessee recruits have easier travel for the spring game in Nashville.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Bud Bowl.


for the youngens.

UT would beat Wake by 60. They are awful

Not if you detest playing in cold weather. I would save money for next year.

 

[VOLNPA]

Wanting Penn State isn't necessarily smart. In every game. Uber athletic defense. Struggled only when their QB was out/hurting. Their weapons would embarrass our D. Aside from (and maybe including) Bama they would have the best WR we've seen all year.

Those are pretty good points

Yeah I'm not a cold weather person either plus I've been to Nissan stadium for a Titans game and was in a catered suite...that kind of spoils you

UT 48 Pedo State 10

 

[VOLNPA]

UT 48 Pedo State 10

U haven't seen them play.

 

[Rickyvol77]

U haven't seen them play.

I have. Several times. Franklin is awful coach and their OC is terrible.
