We’ve crowned a champion in the SEC and hired three coaches. Now it’s on to the playoffs and the bowl season. Here’s a question to ponder for each of our 14 schools:

Alabama: The Crimson Tide got what they wanted, a chance for redemption in the College Football Playoff, but are they up to knocking off a physical team like Michigan State to get to the national championship game?

Arkansas: How emotional will it be near the end of the bowl game when quarterback Brandon Allen hands over the keys to the car to his little brother?

Auburn: Now that defensive coordinator Will Muschamp is off to South Carolina and wants to take several coaches with him, will there be anyone left to coach the defense in the bowl game?

Florida: Will that tough Michigan defense continue to make life miserable for Florida’s offense in the Citrus Bowl, or will three weeks of practice help the Gators get better?

Georgia: Will Kirby Smart be able to close the deal in a week of recruiting before heading back to Alabama to coach in the playoff game?

Kentucky: What is more embarrassing, finishing 5-7 and missing out on a bowl game, or being eligible at 5-7 for three extra spots but not getting one because their APR score is so low?

LSU: How big will the smiles be in Baton Rouge when Leonard Fournette and the boys start watching film of the porous Texas Tech defense?

Mississippi State: Will the Belk Bowl be enough for Dak Prescott to have one last magical moment for the Bulldogs?

Missouri: Is new coach Barry Odom wishing that the university would have consulted him about turning down a bowl game and missing out on three weeks of practice time?

Ole Miss: Can the Rebels stay focused on the game at hand with Oklahoma State in the Sugar Bowl and erase the memory of last year’s ugly bowl loss to TCU?

South Carolina: With all the time that South Carolina had to hire a new coach, couldn’t the Gamecocks have done better than Will Muschamp?

Tennessee: Will the Volunteers finish what they started by running the table and getting a ninth win in the Outback Bowl?

Texas A&M: In an evenly matched game against Louisville, can A&M finally get to a nice comfort level on an offense that’s been missing for several weeks?

Vanderbilt: Will not having bowl-game practices hurt the growth of Derek Mason’s team in the offseason?
