10 SEC teams included in Sports Illustrated's updated bowl projections
The 2019 college football season is half over for a number of teams, and that means we’re getting a clearer bowl picture.
This week, Sports Illustrated expert Michael Shapiro updated his bowl projections, and 10 SEC teams were included.
As you can see below, he has Alabama in the College Football Playoff. Interestingly, he does not think Mississippi State will qualify for the postseason:
Alabama
- Peach Bowl (CFP) vs. Ohio State
Auburn
- Gator Bowl vs. Nebraska
Florida
- Citrus Bowl vs. Minnesota
Georgia
- Outback Bowl vs. Michigan
Kentucky
- Independence Bowl vs. Florida State
LSU
- Sugar Bowl vs. Baylor
Missouri
- Music City Bowl vs. Miami
Ole Miss
- Liberty Bowl vs. TCU
South Carolina
- Belk Bowl vs. Louisville
Texas A&M
- Texas Bowl vs. Texas Tech
I would take the Music City bowl in a heartbeat. It’s only a four hour drive from St Louis and Nashville is a great place to go.
As long as we don’t have to play Michigan I’ll be happy.
Right? Minnesota though? Boring
When i’m convinced that Miami has cleaned up their program and participants i’ll buy a ticket to see them play in bowl game. I’m not convinced and i would rather see Missouri stay home and work on their studies than go play Miami anywhere.
Wow!! SI has lost faith in UGA.Went from the CFP to the Outback Bowl.
Ridiculous. Bowl season pretty much happens between semesters. There are no studies to work on.
“Final Exams” at the University of Missouri are December 9-13. The last regular season game for Missouri is November 29. “Doing your homework” to know what YOU’re talking about, get and keep a good job, protect your investments of time and money, are not just a catchy phrase. Among the many things prevented are opinions that shoot out of dark and objectionable anatomical locations. It also helps if you have and can remember what it’s like to take a final exam. It’s not just about getting a job, Every year about 1,100 college students commit suicide and these peak as exam scores are being posted. The last football game result we should ever complain about is a bowl game, and really, myself included, we ought to guard our attitudes about all the quality of work that 17 thru 23 year old kids turn out on a football field. Because in real life, even academic life, 50% of kids are not destined to be losers, but in football they are.
I thought tutors took the finals for the players? You need to spend some time reading Butch Jones’ self help book. Football players can still be champions of life. The score doesn’t matter.
The bowl games are about two weeks after finals. You still aren’t making much sense. Teams don’t pass on bowl games. Missouri will play in one if the ncaa allows it.
