We need the SEC to fill out all of our bowl slots for money reasons so we need to pull for Tennessee to beat Kentucky, and Georgia to beat Georgia Tech. Selfishly, we need Florida and Kentucky to lose. That would put Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee at 6 wins.
Bowl order under this scenario:
BCS: Auburn (possibly LSU)
BCS: LSU (possibly South Carolina or Bama)
Cap One: Bama
Outback: South Carolina or Arkansas
Cotton: Arkansas (possibly MSU)
Peach: MSU or South Carolina
Gator: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, or UT
Music City: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, or UT
Liberty: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, or UT
BBVA: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, or UT
Sitting at 7 wins right now is huge if all of the east teams but SCar. finish at 6 wins. Also, don't forget that Arkansas played in Dallas against aTm earlier this year, so don't rule out Arkansas going to the Outback since the SEC East is horrendous this year.

I think we'll have a good picture of where we'll go based on the Egg Bowl outcome. <div>
</div><div>UT win and MSU loss: Tennessee likely in Music City / MSU likely in Liberty</div><div>
</div><div>UT loss and MSU win: MSU good shot at Chick-fil-A</div><div>
</div><div>I don't see any reason we need to pull for Tennessee. If Tennessee loses and UGA wins, we might see UGA in Music City.</div>

BCS - Auburn and LSU<div>
</div><div>Capital One - Alabama (maybe Arkansas)</div><div>
</div><div>Cotton - Arkansas (maybe Alabama)</div><div>Outback - South Carolina</div><div>
</div><div>The Peach and Gator share the next pick. I imagine they will both invite Florida, and we will get the bowl Florida doesn't want.</div><div>
</div><div>The only way to be worried is if Tennessee wins, we lose to Ole Miss, AND the SEC only gets 1 in the BCS (which is unlikely, since Arkansas will go to the BCS if they beat LSU).</div>

I was going by what was on SEC sports.com early this morning. I still think it would help us for Florida to lose though.
Also, to some of the other replies, I just don't believe that the Music City or Gator will select a 6 win team over us.

MSU win, Florida loss: Chic-fil-a Bowl<div>MSU win, Florida win: Chic-fil-a or Gator (could see Florida opting for Gator)</div><div>MSU loss, Florida win: Chic-fil-a, Gator, or Music City</div><div>
</div><div>Don't see any scenario where we fall below Music City (but we could still move up to Cotton if some unlikely events occur).</div>

Since Bama and Arkansas are both above usregardlessif they win or lose next week, the cotton is pretty much out of the question.<div>
</div><div>The only way I could think of that it might happen would be for SC, LSU and Auburn to all win next week, then SC beat Auburn in the SECCG. That would possibly give the SEC 3 spots in the BCS (is this possible?). Everyone else would move up a spot.</div>

<p align="left">I'm not sure any bowl is going to be high on TN. I live in Memphis and they couldn't fill the Liberty Bowl for the Memphis game. The things bowls will love about us is the fan base is rabid and we are a lock to sell-out any game we go to.Same deal for GA & KY. I think we are a lock to be in front of those 3 regardless of what happens this Sat.

What are the possibilites the SEC gets 2 in the BCS if Auburn loses to Bama? Is there anything that prohibits 2 at-large berths from 1 conference?You could have a 1 loss Auburn and a 1 loss LSU with neither in the title game. Is that prohibited? </p>

Arkansas beats LSU<div>
</div><div>BCS is Auburn and Arkansas</div><div>Capital One takes LSU as SEC team with best record</div><div>3-loss Alabama elects to attend the Chic-fil-a bowl</div><div>We're in Cotton Bowl</div><div>
</div><div>The more I think about it though, the less likely this appears. Cotton Bowl in that huge stadium would lure Alabama. You may be right.</div><div><div>
