13 SEC teams predicted to make bowl games in ESPN's post-Week 5 bowl projections
The 2020 college football season is well underway, and it could be a big year for SEC teams making bowl games.
First of all, the 6-win requirement has been canceled for this unique pandemic season. Also, there are a ton of SEC squads that are good, but not great. That should help fill out bowl slots.
After SEC Week 5 action, ESPN experts Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach updated their bowl projections. As you can see below, 13 different SEC teams are projected to play this postseason:
Alabama
- Bonagura: Rose Bowl (CFP) vs. Ohio State
- Schlabach: Sugar Bowl (CFP) vs. Notre Dame
Arkansas
- Bonagura: Texas Bowl vs. Oklahoma
- Schlabach: Texas Bowl vs. Texas
Auburn
- Bonagura: Citrus Bowl vs. Michigan
- Schlabach: Gator Bowl vs. Virginia Tech
Florida
- Bonagura: Peach Bowl vs. Cincinnati
- Schlabach: Citrus Bowl vs. Penn State
Georgia

These guys seem convinced that a 2 loss team will make the playoffs.
Going to be tough this year. Weird ass season. Trying to figure out why we are in there. Hell we’d have to win out. Dont see the aTm hurdle getting jumped.
There are no play-offs… for heaven’s sake. Stop parroting the Dr. Pepper sales pitch. (drink as much of it as you like however it’s a fair rep in that market).
This year is the absolute last year that a play-off idea can be defended and it’s always a ‘bogus brain fart’. This is just the biggest laugh yet. Oh sssuuuuurrrrrrre, there are no regular season scores to compare between leagues, BUT SOME SOFT DRINK EXEC SOMEWHERE OR A FAKE COMPUTER PROGAM (ha ha did you know the tooth fairy actually runs the FPI’s 20,000 simulations of junk-in-junk-out) CAN FIGURE OUT WHO DESERVES TO WEAR THE BURGER KING CROWN.
Just play the 2020 season and enjoy football again, we are lucky to have such a fun game to watch college men play. But as soon as we try to make it say more than it really does, it makes a great golden trophy tarnish.
Only in your eyes and it’s because you have never experienced your team winning a national title. That changes things.
We get it… Missouri sucks.
