Vandy likely has a better shot at 6-6. They get NIU OOC which is a possible loss of course, UNLV, and ETSU. They might be 3-1 OOC.
The get LSU and Ole Miss from the SEC West, so that could be 1-1. Tenn and UK and Mizzou and USCe had less than sparkling outings, so they could go 2-2 there potentially. That presumes they don't upset Florida. That gets them to a minor bowl, even with a loss to Purdue (or UNLV etc.).
But a win at Purdue has them sitting fairly solidly I think. They have some weapons and a half decent defense. That should be an interesting game for two teams in the middle of the pack.
