SEC Bowl Order

How would you rank these three teams: Florida, Alabama, Auburn?

If LSU beats Georgia next week, then LSU is in the Playoff and UGA is most certainly headed to the Sugar.

If I understand things correctly, then these would be the next likely bowl assignments:

#3 SEC team- Orange Bowl against likely Virginia
#4 SEC team- Cotton Bowl against likely Memphis
#5 SEC team- Citrus Bowl against likely Wisconsin

My guess is that Florida will be ranked ahead of both Auburn and Alabama.... they beat Auburn head-to-head. They have the same record as Alabama, but unlike the Tide they beat Auburn. How do you not put Florida at #3 in the SEC?

That means Florida goes to the Orange.

The real question is who is that next best team in the SEC? Alabama or Auburn. Yes, Alabama is 10-2 and Auburn is 9-3, but can the committee really rank Alabama ahead of Auburn since Auburn just beat them? They both lost to LSU in close games. The only reason Auburn has an extra loss is because they played Georgia, Florida, and Oregon instead of S. Carolina, Tennessee, and Duke. My gut feeling is that Auburn is ranked #10 tomorrow night and Bama is #11.

That would likely put Auburn in the Cotton vs. Memphis and Alabama would slide down to the Citrus to likely play Wisconsin. It could probably go either way.

Of course if Georgia can beat LSU, it all changes.
