I've seen us predicted for just about every 2nd Tier bowl with an SEC tie in. My vote is for the Music City Bowl.

UGA gets the sugar right? Then the NY6 will probably go UF, but if there is a 3rd team it’ll be between us LSU & UK.

It’s going to be one of the Florida bowls, either the Outback or the Taxslayer bowl.

I think Citrus picks before Outback and LSU has played in it the last 2 years.

Unlike the other bowls, the Citrus selects their choice after the committee. They do not have to pick by rankings. UK ended 9-3 vs our 8-4 but (a) we are a bigger draw, (b) we beat UK h2h, and (c) bowls like to pick excited fan bases.

If they don't take LSU again, the Citrus will be picking between UK and A&M. I think we'll be in Orlando on NYD.

My guess is Outback or Gator. The Citrus doesn’t take 8-4 teams if it doesn’t have to and this is UK’s best year since Bear Bryant was their coach. They will travel big. We aren’t big timing them out of the Citrus like we used to do w/SWC schools.

IMO Universal is a way better experience as an adult. Better rides, better food options, better park layout and fast pass system, and Portofino Bay > every Disney theme hotel. I get that Disney has the nostalgia appeal but it’s not really geared towards adult fun at all.

My prediction is Citrus. If you look at the diagram on the SEC website, Citrus gets their pick after the playoffs and the non-playoff former BCS bowls.

The SEC does not designate who goes to the Citrus, unlike how they designate who goes to which of the lesser bowls.

Citrus reps were at the game last night.

The way it works out now assuming Bama beats UGA, the Citrus would be picking between us and Kentucky. We beat Kentucky. Outside of the SEC, Kentucky’s success this year isn’t that big of a story. Jimbo is a big national sports story. Our game last night was epic and historic. We’re the bigger (football) fan base. I think they pick us.

So they saw the gigantic swaths of empty seats in the endzones and student section for a night game between two ranked teams and fans leaving early in the 4th? Cool, cool, cool.

Our win over Kentucky isn't that important when it comes to selection. Again, the Citrus does not take 4 loss teams if it doesn't have to. Kentucky is ranked higher, is 9-3, and is having their best season since Bear was there. They are going to travel well for a Citrus Bowl so I don't think our fanbase will be much of a factor.

Unless there is a basketball game the day before or after. Kentucky fans love their basketball.

The rides at Universal are way more intense than at Disney. They are great.

I did like that Tower of Terror, or whatever it is called at Disney. The elevator inside a hotel with the Twilight Zone theme is creative.

Y’all would easily be favored by double digits.

Do it, especially if she's never been. I didn't get to go as a kid but have been thrice now as an adult (including earlier this year). Great experience if you or your wife are in any way big Disney fans.
