re: when are bowl parings announced?

1 week from tomorrow on Sunday .. Most likely Gator Bowl in Jacksonville for LSU, also possibly Liberty in Memphis. Less likely would be Citrus in Orlando, . Sugar is actually still possible but LSU needs some help (see article below)

I predict Gator vs Miami or Nebraska, possibly Louisville... Liberty is also a possibility even though not mentioned below. I doubt Belk/Texas/Outback/MusicCity for LSU is happening given recent games and not Belk's case no one would go

LSU
It’s not often a four-loss team sneaks into the Sugar Bowl — in fact, it hasn’t happened since four-loss Florida State was invited 14 years ago (the Seminoles lost to Georgia, 26-13) — but there’s a surprisingly easy path to New Orleans for the Tigers. If LSU beats Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night, Auburn loses the Iron Bowl to Alabama and Florida loses its final two games to Florida State and Alabama (all expected results), Louisiana State would have an excellent shot at the bid. If Tennessee loses to Vanderbilt this weekend, then LSU would have the bid locked up.

Should LSU win and then get shut out of the Sugar Bowl, the Citrus Bowl (Orlando, vs. ACC/Big Ten) seems like the most likely option for Ed Orgeron’s sendoff. The Outback Bowl (Tampa, vs. Big Ten) and the TaxSlayer Bowl (Jacksonville, vs. ACC/Big Ten) are also potential landing spots.
