Access Bowls pay $18MM
Contract Bowls pay $20 MM
National Championship Game Pays additional $22MM
An Alabama win would put Bama in a Contract Bowl at $20MM, with an opportunity to gain another $22MM for the conference if they make the title game $20MM-$42MM.
A Missouri win would put Mizzou in a Contract Bowl (Orange, non-Playoff) at $20MM, Bama would be in an Access Bowl at $18MM.
MSU is going to an Access Bowl either way at $18MM.
So, Bama win = $20 MM Bama + $18 MM State ($38 MM Guaranteed + $22 MM opportunity)
Missouri win = $20 MM Mizzou + $18 MM Bama + $18 MM State ($56 MM Guaranteed)
A Missouri win results in $18 MM more guaranteed for the SEC, but a Bama run to a championship is worth about $4 MM more than a Missouri win. Its a gamble.
