The regular season is over, and there are only a few games left — most of which are conference title games.

That means many teams have done all they can do before bowl selections are made, so now all they can do is wait.

This week, USA TODAY expert Erick Smith made his bowl projections, and has Alabama going to the College Football Playoff. Below, you can see where he thinks each of the 11 bowl-eligible SEC squads will play this postseason:

Alabama

  • Cotton Bowl (CFP) vs. Ohio State

Auburn

Florida

  • Peach Bowl vs. Penn State

Georgia

  • Sugar Bowl vs. Oklahoma
