Nine SEC programs are going bowling this postseason.

Arkansas, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Vanderbilt all failed to eclipse the six-win benchmark to be eligible for postseason play, and despite getting six wins, Missouri was ruled ineligible for a bowl by the NCAA.

LSU made the College Football Playoff, and Florida and Georgia will both play in New Year’s Six bowl games. Perhaps one of the most intriguing matchups is in the Citrus Bowl between Alabama and Michigan. Both teams need a win, but we don’t know how many NFL-bound Alabama players may sit out the bowl game to remove the risk of getting injured. Nick Saban was asked about that potential Sunday.

ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg has already released his initial bowl game predictions, and he has the SEC finishing 9-1, including LSU winning the national championship over Clemson 38-37.

The conference’s only predicted loss comes in the Texas Bowl as the Aggies play against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The most lopsided prediction is Florida’s 21-point (predicted) win over the Virginia Cavaliers in the Orange Bowl.

Below are Rittenberg’s SEC predictions:

Texas Bowl: Oklahoma State 33, Texas A&M 27
Music City Bowl: Mississippi State 34, Louisville 27
Orange Bowl: Florida 37, Virginia 16
Belk Bowl: Kentucky 29, Virginia Tech 24
Citrus Bowl: Alabama 44, Michigan 31
Outback Bowl: Auburn 31, Minnesota 20
Sugar Bowl: Georgia 26, Baylor 17
Gator Bowl: Tennessee 37, Indiana 34
Peach Bowl (CFP semifinal): LSU 42, Oklahoma 27
National Championship: LSU 38, Clemson 37
