WEEKLY MORAL VICTORY BOWL PROJECTIONS

OK, this week I'm doing my own bowl projections, and then we'll see what Schlabach and Feldman over at ESPN.com think in a couple of hours.

I'm projecting the following teams to be eliminated:

• Miss State: The Bulldogs are one loss away from losing their bowl eligibility, and Alabama should take care of that in a couple of weeks.

• Arkansas: The Razorbacks are much-improved and had a big victory over Tulsa this weekend, but assuming they can beat Miss State in Starkville, they've still got to beat either South Carolina or LSU, and I don't think they can do it.

• Auburn: The loss in Oxford on Saturday was a killer. The Tigers will beat Tenn-Martin but would have to beat either Georgia or Alabama. Not gonna happen.

• Tennessee: The Volunteers should beat lowly Wyoming next week, but they'd have to then beat both Vanderbilt and Kentucky, and I don't think they're capable of three wins in a row this season.

Anyway, here are my projections, just for bowls with SEC ties:

INDEPENDENCE BOWL (Dec. 28): Nobody from the SEC (only 8 teams bowl qualified)
