The SEC has four teams in the NY6, so that should put Auburn in the Citrus Bowl. Then the “pool of six” bowls should be filled by Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Missouri and Kentucky.
The pool of six are the Liberty, Gator, Outback, Armed Forces, Texas and Music City bowls.
The Liberty Bowl has announced West Virginia as its Big 12 representative. The Texas Bowl has announced TCU as its Big 12 rep.
There are not many Pac-12 teams that will play in bowl games this year. From what I can gather, the only Pac-12 teams that are possible for the Armed Forces Bowl now are Arizona, Oregon State and Cal.
Brett McMurphy tweeted that because of teams continuing to pull out of bowl season, the Armed Forces Bowl or Birmingham Bowl might get canceled this year. That would seem to point Arkansas elsewhere.
