Alabama, Georgia, and Auburn will go to the playoffs/Big 6 bowls.
LSU and Mississippi State probably go 9-3 and grab the Citrus Bowl and Outback Bowl
After that the only SEC teams left that will be bowl eligible will be
South Carolina at 8-4
Mizzou at 7-5
Kentucky at 7-5
A&M at 7-5
That's only 4 available teams for the SEC's 5 mid-tier bowl tie ins (Belk, Music City, Liberty, Texas, and Taxslayer, one will have to take an at large team.)
It looks like we'll likely get Liberty, Music City, or Taxslayer. Liberty would probably be Iowa State or Texas. Music City would probably be Iowa or Indiana. Taxsslayer could be Florida State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, or Virginia.
Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, Vanderbilt, and Ole Miss will have losing seasons. Some may go bowling at 5-7 depending on their APR.
No SEC teams for Independence or Birmingham Bowls.
