We are nearing the end of October which means bowl season is starting to take shape, and we are a few weeks from the first edition of this year’s College Football Playoff Rankings. There’s a new No. 1 in the SEC after Georgia went into Austin and beat Texas. However, the biggest change this week is that for the first time this season, we only have three SEC teams projected in the 12-team playoff.
Will the SEC continue to cannibalize itself in the new 16-team league? Or will they sneak four teams in the field like everyone expects? We have six weeks left in the regular season to find out.
But for now, it’s Tuesday which means two things: midweek MACtion and our very own bowl projections.
