Apparently when your SEC and Tenn you can lobby way into bowl. No different from match-up perspective but SEC is corrupt. Its actually UK getting sscrwed because of it more than us.

Conference office/bowls kind of work together and negotiate. Throughout the season teams can make their case directly to the bowl.

Sounds to me Gator wanted this match-up weeks ago so Tennessee requested switch to SEC and got it. Very similar team from opponent perspective (FPI has us as a 4 pt favorite vs. 5) but lose the pizzazz of the rivalry. Still exciting.

For recruiting a win might look better. Since Tennessee has more recognition for football

That’s what I was arguing a few weeks back. I think a win over UT is still flashier as a more historic SEC power? But beating UK would have been awesome.

Which was my point earlier that had someone asked our admin if they had a preference they might have suggested they wanted NY. I realize these things have a plan but as we have seen a couple times today, some teams or conferences may suggest something that matches up with their wishes more.
