The Southeastern Conference has signed six-year agreements with 10 post-season bowl games, including two additions.

While a spot in the College Football Playoff is the dream, the Florida football team will have plenty of post-season bowl options for the next six years.

The Southeastern Conference has re-upped agreements with eight post-season bowl games and added two more to run through 2025.

The conference extended agreements with the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, the Outback Bowl in Tampa, the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl in Nashville, the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl in Houston, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis and the Birmingham Bowl.

Additionally, the conference will participate in the Belk Bowl in Charlotte in 2021, 2023 and 2025. SEC teams will also be involved against the Pac-12 in the Las Vegas Bowl in 2020, 2022 and 2024. The conference added a partnership with the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa through 2025.

"“We are pleased to have an SEC bowl lineup that provides exciting destinations for our student-athletes and traveling fans,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, in a statement.  “We enjoy great relationships with some of the best bowl games in college football and this lineup will continue to provide a wide array of rewarding bowl game experiences for our student-athletes and fans in celebration of a successful season.”"

The way the bowl selection process works is, the conference will assign teams first to the Citrus Bowl after assignments have been made to the College Football Playoff, the Allstate Sugar Bowl or the Capital One Orange Bowl.

The SEC will also participate in the Sugar Bowl and the Orange Bowl when they are not a part of the College Football Playoff semifinals.

After that, there is the Pool of Six, which consists of the Outback Bowl, Gator Bowl, Motor City Bowl, Texas Bowl and Liberty Bowl. That pool will also include the Las Vegas Bowl in 2020, 2022 and 2024 and the Belk Bowl in 2021, 2023 and 2025.

Once the Pool of Six games is filled, committees of the Birmingham Bowl and Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl will work on picking a remaining eligible team, according to the league.
