CBS: Birmingham vs Western Michigan ▼
CFN: Birmingham vs Houston ▼
SaturdayDownSouth: Duke's Mayo Bowl vs Clemson -
247 Sports: Birmingham vs Western Michigan ▼
Brett McMurphy: Texas Bowl vs Baylor ▼
USA Today: Texas Bowl vs TCU -
Last Word in Sports: Birmingham vs East Carolina ▼ (note: they appear to be missing ole miss from their predictions)
Sporting News: Liberty Bowl vs Kansas St -
College Sports Madness: Birmingham Bowl vs Duke -


As usual, need an update from an ESPN Insider, por favor.

Why all the down arrows? Because most predictions now have the SEC with fewer NY6 berths due to Bama dropping out of the CFP.

They know we play Bama this week.

Flashback to preseason.. can you imagine the jubilation if someone could travel time and tell the board we are projected by one publication to play Clemson in the postseason right before the Bama game?? They just can’t name the bowl.

I am less opposed to Birmingham now that the game is at the new stadium and not Legion Field. But that's still one of the lowest tiered SEC bowls, so that tells me most of these sites have us finishing right at 6-6.

I'd take 6-6 right now. Bama's a loss. Kentucky is suddenly looking a lot tougher than it did as recently as last week even. At Arkansas & Auburn and Mississippi at home won't be easy either.

Bama has history on their side. They have lost before and still got into the play off. You know the committee is going to do every thing they can to get them in. Just like they do Ohio State. I think Clemson is too far gone this season without it being too obvious.

Me too. Hard to see another win outside of Vandy and Tenn Tech.
