Surveying the landscape in the SEC's group of six, and is there any chance for the Citrus Bowl?
This is always a guessing game; for proof, in the archives you can find us sending the Vols to the Liberty Bowl to face West Virginia last year seconds before a curveball sent Tennessee to Jacksonville. But in the first week of November it is at least an educated guessing game.
If the Vols win out to get to 8-4, they will be a very attractive option for almost every bowl in the SEC's group of six. I don't know how the Taxslayer Bowl might feel about taking the Vols in consecutive years, and I don't know how Tennessee fans would feel about spending their dollars in Jacksonville again (would depend largely on opponent).
