I used to think that UK might end up in the Papajohns bowl as well, especially if they end up 6-6. But I recently read somewhere (don't remember where, may have been the Herald-Leader) that the Papajohns could likely be out.

The reason is that it is played on Jan. 2 @ 2 PM, right when it would conflict with a certain basketball game being played the same day... Yes, I'm talking about UK vs. Louisville, Calipari vs. Pitino, which is scheduled for a 3:30 tip that same day. So apparently the SEC would not let that conflict happen, which would effectively keep us out of the Papajohns bowl (and probably the Liberty, too, since it also is on Jan. 2).

The last two SEC bowl selections belong to the Independence and the Papajohns. Supposedly, if it came down to probably UK and South Carolina for the last two spots, UK would head for Shreveport while SC goes to Birmingham.

I still don't know if that's true, since I checked and SC also has a basketball game on Jan. 2, scheduled for 1 PM. But since it's only against Baylor and thus not likely to be televised, they might ask SC to change their tip time to accommodate the bowl game.
