The Southeastern Conference has agreements to send nine of its member institutions to
postseason bowl games following the 2010 season.
The winner of the SEC Championship Game will automatically participate in the Bowl
Championship Series comprised of the Sugar, Rose, Orange and Fiesta Bowls.
The Capital One Bowl has the second selection, making its pick following the BCS selections.
The bowl must select the team with the next best overall record or a team that is within
