SEC Bowl Projections: Week 11

With three weeks left in the season, the bowl picture is getting clearer.  Here are our projections for the SEC after this weekend’s games.

BCS National Championship: Auburn v Oregon

Both teams survived scares over the weekend.  They hype surrounding the game will be all about LaMichael James and Cam Newton.

Sugar Bowl: LSU v TCU

The horned frogs survived a scare against San Diego State.  LSU has one remaining test against Arkansas.  Of course, this will change if Auburn loses to Alabama or South Carolina.

Capital One Bowl: Alabama v Ohio State

The Carpital One bowl would love to have these two programs in Orlando.  Both would travel well, and it would be a high ratings game for TV.

Cotton Bowl: Arkansas v Oklahoma State

The Hogs are always a popular pick for the Cotton Bowl.  Oklahoma State will have their hands full defending Ryan Mallett.

Outback Bowl: South Carolina v Michigan State

Gamecocks go back to Tampa to take on South Carolina alumnus Mark Dantionio.

Chick-Fil-A Bowl: Florida v. Miami

Georgia Dome plays host to battle of Sunshine State rivals.

Gator Bowl: Georgia v Michigan

This will be another premier program match up.  Dawgs and Wolverines will be great for the Gator’s return to the SEC.

Music City: Mississippi State v NC State

Another SEC / ACC battle should get some moderate attention.

Liberty: Kentucky v. Central Florida

CUSA champs play Bluegrass state champs in a game that won’t draw too much interest, well, anywhere.

Birmingham Bowl: Tennessee v South Florida

Exceeding all expectations, Tennessee makes it to a bowl.  Their reward: a horrible game in a horrible stadium.
