ATHENS — There’s a lot that’s out of his control, and there are two weekend’s worth of games to scramble the picture. It’s clear, however, that Georgia is on the mind of Scott Ramsey, the executive director of the Music City Bowl in Nashville.

“Yes. And yes,” Ramsey said this week, when asked if Georgia is on his bowl’s radar, and if that’s a school they’d be interested in.

“We’re kind of waiting to see how the Big Ten play into the New Year’s Six (bowls), and how many teams get up in there, and see who’s maybe in our mix, and go from there. But Georgia’s certainly a team that we look forward to hosting the next time we get the opportunity to, and this year is certainly a possibility.”

Georgia hasn’t played in the Music City Bowl since 2001. And it didn’t play in Nashville this year, with the Vanderbilt game being in Athens. So it’s easy to see why it would be a match. But it’s not entirely up to Ramsey and his staff.

The SEC and its television partners are officially in charge of assigning teams to bowls. The bowls and the schools have input, but the final say is supposed to be with the conference office.

Georgia athletics director Greg McGarity didn’t want to say anything about his school’s bowl outlook on Tuesday.

“All eyes on Tech,” McGarity said.

And Liberty Bowl executive director Steve Ehrhart, while sounding like he’d be happy to have Georgia back, was also guarded.

“In the old days we’d be doing a lot of work right now,” Ehrhart said. “But now with the new SEC pool, we don’t even know yet who’s going to be in the pool. And the league isn’t going to start working on the pool until next week.”

But others can engage in educated speculation, and it’s easy to see where Georgia (7-4) is likely to end up, whether or not it beats Georgia Tech.

The four-team national playoff is obviously out, as is the Sugar Bowl. Alabama is ticketed for the playoff until it falls to Auburn and then Florida in the SEC championship game. Assuming it wins at least one, Alabama almost certainly goes to the playoff, and then another SEC team goes to the Sugar Bowl: Florida, Tennessee and Texas A&M are the most likely.

Then the Citrus Bowl (otherwise known as the Buffalo Wild Wing Bowl) gets first pick of the remaining SEC teams. A lot would have to happen for Georgia to be picked for that bowl, but it can’t quite be ruled out.

Then comes the so-called “Six-Pack” of bowls: Music City, Liberty (in Memphis), Belk (Charlotte), Texas (Houston), TaxSlayer (Jacksonville) and Outback (Tampa).
