College football bowl projections: ESPN experts update postseason predictions after Week 12

College football bowl projections are being finalized after Week 12 around the FBS ranks.

With only 1 week left in the regular season, the bowl picture is becoming clearer, though there are still some teams that are searching for a 6th victory.

In the SEC, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tennessee have already clinched postseason eligibility.
