2. Birmingham Bowl vs SEC (lose in AAC championship).
3. Fenway Bowl vs ACC.
4. Military Bowl vs ACC.
5.Hawaii Bowl.
.
7. We’re not going to the Frisco Bowl

Pretty sure the conference isn't going to do us any favors on our bowl. Unless we go to the NY6 game we might get something sub-par.

Is there a set destination for the conference champion (if not NY6)?

I don't think we've won a bowl game in over ten years.
So I will pretty much take any bowl as long as we win!

Agreed. B'ham is a good football town. Lots of casual football fans in that town. And most of them wear Crimson Tide red to the stadium, which makes us look good.
