The 2020 College Football Playoff is still a long way away, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start figuring out which teams could compete for the 4 spots.
In its updated Football Power Index, ESPN also listed each team’s odds to make the Playoff this coming season.
As you can see below, ESPN gives only 6 SEC squads a chance to make the field of 4, led by Alabama at 58.7%:
- Alabama — 58.7%
- Georgia — 25.7%
- LSU — 23.7%
- Auburn — 10.0%
- Florida — 8.1%
- Texas A&M — 2.5%
- Arkansas — 0%
- Kentucky — 0%
- Mizzou — 0%
- Ole Miss — 0%
- Vanderbilt — 0%
- Mississippi State — 0%
- South Carolina — 0%
- Tennessee — 0%
Obviously, crazy things happen in college football. Could Tennessee make a Playoff run? Could Mike Leach or Lane Kiffin lead Mississippi State or Ole Miss to the field of 4? It’s not likely, but anything is possible at this point.
