re: Phil Steele's Bowl projections

Well, beginning this year, the Outback, Liberty, Music City, Taxslayer, Belk and Texas bowls are essentially on the same level. All will pay $3 million and feature another Big 5 conference team.

Going to take some getting used to.

SEC teams are going to be either playoff material, group of 5 material (Orange, Peach or Cotton when they aren't a playoff bowl), Cap One, this group of mid level bowls, or Birmingham Bowl.

In a year that the SEC doesn't get a playoff team or doesn't have a high level second place team, the third place SEC team could theoretically go to the Liberty Bowl.
