With the University of Alabama’s football regular season two-thirds complete and the postseason picture becoming clearer, this seems like a good time to start speculating on where the Crimson Tide will go bowling.
From now through the end of the regular season — since the word will be official about a week after the Auburn game — I’ll handicap the odds on each bowl Alabama seems to have a possibility of ending up in, and against whom, with those odds changing from week to week.
Here’s the first installment of Bama Bowl Bingo:

Sugar Bowl: 30 percent.
If UA wins out the regular season and loses to the Gators in Atlanta again, expect a return trip to New Orleans for a consolation-prize game against Cincinnati.

BCS Championship Game: 25 percent.
If Alabama wins out and defeats Florida in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game, look for the Tide to play Texas in Pasadena for all the hardware.

Cotton Bowl: 20 percent.
Alabama could end up in Dallas with a loss to LSU, or perhaps another SEC loss coupled with a loss to Florida. Likely opponent would be Oklahoma.

Capital One Bowl: 15 percent.
There’s also a good chance UA could go bowling in Orlando with a loss to LSU this weekend, or another SEC loss and a loss to Florida in the league title game. Ohio State is the odds-on favorite to represent the Big Ten.

Outback Bowl: 5 percent.
Only a late-season collapse would bump the Tide all the way to Tampa, probably against Wisconsin.

Chick-fil-A Bowl: 5 percent
If UA were to take a massive stumble down the stretch, the other possible destination would be Atlanta, maybe in a rematch with Virginia Tech.

Keep checking in each week and track the odds.
