SEC Bowl Projections Week 11: Ole Miss makes a Playoff push

By Chris Marler

Week 10 taught us a lot. Auburn joined three other programs in the hunt for a new head coach, and the top candidate might be leading Ole Miss to the Playoff. With the first CFP Rankings released, it’s also looking like the SEC could see one fewer team in the field this year.

Here are my Week 11 bowl projections.
