Published:
4 Weeks of college football are already in the books.
Some teams have disappointed (looking at you Florida State), while other teams have taken college football by storm (Hey, Miami).
After another wild week of action in Week 4, Action Network’s Brett McMurphy has revealed his updated bowl projections. The veteran analyst, unsurprisingly, has SEC teams littering his projections. McMurphy has a whopping 12 SEC teams, with 5 of those teams making the College Football Playoff.
My new @ActionNetworkHQ bowl projections. @CFBPlayoff plus non-playoff bowls: Gator: Louisville-Arkansas; Citrus: Missouri-Illinois; ReliaQuest: MIchigan-Texas A&M; Liberty: Okla State-South Carolina; Las Vegas: OU-Washington; Holiday: Pitt-Wash Statehttps://t.co/jfHs3jFPtf pic.twitter.com/4OIYuxk18y

Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, and Ole Miss are the SEC teams McMurphy has in the CFP. In this projection, Alabama and Georgia end up meeting in the National Championship Game, where Georgia would be favored.
McMurphy has Auburn, Florida, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt as the only SEC teams to not make a bowl or the CFP. Here are McMurphy’s full projections for the 12 SEC teams:
Alabama
Cotton Bowl (CFP semifinal) vs. Ohio State
CFP National Championship vs. Georgia
Arkansas
TaxSlayer Gator Bowl vs. Louisville
Georgia
Capital One Orange Bowl (CFP semifinal) vs. Texas
CFP National Championship vs. Alabama
Kentucky
Texas Bowl vs. BYU
LSU
Music City Bowl vs. Nebraska
Missouri
Cheez-It Citrus Bowl vs. Illinois
Oklahoma

South Carolina
AutoZone Liberty Bowl vs. Oklahoma State
Tennessee
Rose Bowl (CFP quarterfinal) vs. Ohio State
