Which Bowl Game do you think Tennessee will get with a win over Vanderbilt?

[loosecannon]

Is there no way to get LSU/ND??

I don’t like that matchup for LSU. They would struggle to score on ND. LSU vs Tulane!

Doesn’t Cotton have some obligation to take highest ranked G5 conference champion? If so I’d guess Tulane-Penn State.

Tulane is not a G5 conference champion yet

What I wouldn’t give to see Fritz hand Franklin his ass. But Penn State is a solid team.

I know they get to host their game. Who are they playing?

 

[Rockytoptalker]

Not a chance. Orange bowl is contractually obligated to take the next highest ranked team from SEC/B10/ Notre Dame. That’s going to be TN.

Well that’s good to know.

 

[GordonC]

UCF, who already beat them once in Nawlins

First let’s see if the secondary throws the Vandy game.

Care to have another shot?

That’s awesome. I was sure it was gonna be the cotton bowl (which I still would have loved).

the last time Penn State played Tulane

Yeah I would normally pull for Gus. Not this time. Also on a separate note, I think we are going to get to a point in the next few years where the Sun Belt winner will be the top G5 team. The conference is LOADED.

Since Bama and Tennessee are poised to be ranked next to each other, will be interesting to see if we get the nod… if so, we get the Sugar Bowl

 

[Rockytoptalker]

UCF. All you have to do is look at their schedule.

A non ******* already answered my question. All you had to do was look 5 posts up.

Alrighty then

If UCF were to beat Tulane for the AAC, then I will say UCF-Tennessee in the Cotton would be one of those poetic narrative sorts of things that selection committees always seem like they can’t help but pick.

If I understood the other poster correctly, the committee isn’t allowed contractually to do that. It’s more science than art.

Yeah true. It was more a tongue-in-cheek observation. Without seeing a single conference title game yet, right now I’ve got:

1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. TCU
4. USC
5. OSU (Oregon) rose
6. Alabama (Kansas State) sugar
7. Tennessee (Clemson) orange
8. Penn State (Tulane) cotton

 

[volz2wallz]

Bama makes playoffs...sugar bowl here we come.....maybe possibly making playoffs if things bounce our way...see ya next weekend...

 

[TrueOrange]

The Gator Bowl, but that’s the only possibility.

 

[TrueOrange]

Orange Bowl UT vs OSU

Impossible combination. One of the Orange Bowl participants has to be an ACC team (no not Notre Dame unless they’re playing said ACC team).

 

[TrueOrange]

.

 

[TrueOrange]

Okay. Tenn Clemson and then Cotton is ? PSU vs ND would be a cool old-school matchup.

No. The highest ranked Group of 5 Conference Champion has to get a spot in either the Cotton, Peach, or Fiesta Bowl. That’ll be either UCF or Tulane.

The opponent would probably be Penn State unless Oregon upsets USC (in which case, it’d be USC).

Barring a crazy championship games next weekend. I am if the same thought process with you

Cool. Thanks for all the info.
