Which SEC schools have the most players represented on NFL conference championship rosters?
There are four teams left in the NFL Playoffs, and they’ll face off for two spots in the Super Bowl on Sunday. The New England Patriots head to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in the AFC, and the NFC title contest features the New Orleans Saints hosting the Los Angeles Rams.
When it comes to those rosters, there are plenty of SEC players represented. In fact, six different teams — Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Florida and Auburn — have at least four players still fighting to keep their seasons alive.
As you can see below, Ohio State leads all schools with nine players remaining, but Georgia leads the SEC with seven players:

It’s no surprise to see those teams well-represented, as they are consistently strong (even if Tennessee has been down for a couple of years).
We’ll see how many make it to the Super Bowl and how many see their seasons come to an end on Sunday.
