The SEC has nine bowl eligible teams and ten bowls. The Birmingham Bowl and Independence Bowl are the last two to pick an SEC team. The Liberty Bowl is virtually guaranteed an SEC team.
If the SEC gets one team to the CFP and two to the major bowls (in some projections both UGA and Auburn are getting New Years bowl invites) that reduces the bowl eligible group to six.
Then, the citrus bowl gets a pick.
That leaves five teams for these six bowls:
Outback
Tax Slayer
Music City
Texas
Belk
Liberty
So, absolutely, there is the possibility that the Liberty might not get an SEC team.
OM has to lose to Moo and UF has to lose to FSU, then the SEC will only get nine bowl eligible teams.
Then, two SEC schools will have to be picked for New Year's bowls. Absolutely possible.
That's a lot of ifs to get to that point. Alabama will probably be in the playoff, Georgia will be in one of the New Year's bowls, but there's no guarantee Auburn will.
Not really a lot of ifs at all.
For sure, one SEC team will be in the CFP.
For sure, another SEC will be in a NYD bowl.
So the only "not sure" thing is for one more SEC school to be picked for a NYD bowl.
Every year, one conference ALWAYS has two teams in NYD bowls, the last two years the BIG had a two reps and three years ago the SEC did.
Again it's probably a 40/60 chance, BUT it's sure as hell a lot better than "virtually guaranteed" to have an SEC rep as you wrote.
Probably higher than that now.
With UF losing and OM with their self-imposed bowl ban, the SEC only has nine bowl eligible teams.
With Bama losing, there is a chance two SEC teams make the 4 team playoff and if only one team makes it, it's almost a certainty that two SEC teams (not making the CFP) will play in new year's day bowls.
That means one of these bowls will need a replacement team for their SEC rep:
Outback
Tax Slayer
Music City
Texas
Belk
Liberty
Logically, the Liberty and Memphis (should Memphis lose to UCF) is the gimme choice.

RE: Possible Bowls for the Tigers
It's almost like I don't just make sh!t up and actually put thought behind my posts:
http://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sp...899254001/
"...[T]he Liberty Bowl has a secondary agreement with the American Athletic Conference if one of its traditional bowl partners (the Southeastern Conference and the Big 12) can't fill its allotted spots. This year, there is a distinct chance the SEC will run into that issue.
The SEC currently has three teams ranked among the top 12 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings (Georgia, Auburn and Alabama). That means all three could be placed in New Year's Six bowl games by the CFP selection committee on Sunday.
This would leave six bowl eligible teams for the SEC's seven primary bowl partners. Ole Miss is bowl eligible with a 6-6 record but is serving a self-imposed postseason ban this year.
According to the SEC bowl selection process, the Citrus Bowl gets the first pick of teams not in a New Year's Six bowl game or the playoff. Then a pool of six bowl games, which includes the Liberty Bowl, would be assigned teams by the SEC "in consultation with the institutions and the bowls..."

The Liberty cant lose by selecting the loser of Memphis/UCF game. UCF brought a ton of fans the last time they played here.

Yeah, but how enthused would those fans be to see an interim coach potentially bumble through a game on what never ceases to be the coldest day in Memphis every year?

I don't think the Liberty would take UCF if they lose to Memphis.
They would either try to get Moo State and hope the SEC gets Utah or something like that for the Texas Bowl.

Well, ESPN actually was the first to project this - as seen in post #3 in this very thread. But maybe you wrote the piece for them?

I have a hard time seeing the SEC allowing Miss Stake to "fall" to the Liberty. The three years since the new contract, the SEC has sent a 7-5 team every year. The previous 7 years under the old contract, the SEC always sent 6 or 7 win teams. If MSU came it would be the first 8-win team the SEC has sent since Old Miss in '92.
