Yes, but several pairings will be released through the week.

Yes, but several pairings will be released through the week.

I expect South Carolina and Vandy may announce early that they are headed to Birmingham and Shreveport or the reverse.

Even though we all know Bama is in the CFP and UF is out nothing will get announced till Sunday afternoon so the rest of the SEC can't nail down till then.

They can't say anything for certain until the SEC Champion is determined. 


But assuming that Bama beast UF then we will know something when the CFP standings come out. Whichever team is ranked higher out of LSU/Auburn goes to the Sugar.

Sugar Bowl= Auburn or LSU     
Citrus/Outback= Florida and whatever team isn't in the Sugar

Gator, Music City, Belk, Texas and Liberty Bowls
Tenner, UGA, Kentucky, and A&M are all at 4-4 in the SEC and will comprise 4 of those 5 bowls.  The 5th bowl team will be between us, Vandy, and USCe.

Independence and Birmingham Bowls 
South Carolina will be the least likely choice for the previous group of bowls and probably wouldn't be picked for the Indy Bowl they were there two years ago.  So it is likely USCe to Birmingham.
