"Campus Insiders" sez MSU V USM in HOD Bowl..


COLLEGE FOOTBALL NOVEMBER 27, 2016
SEC Bowl Projections – Week 14


by Dave Miller

SEC bowl projections heading into Week 14. It’s Alabama and everyone else in a rare down year for the conference.

Who wants the SEC’s automatic Sugar Bowl berth?

It doesn’t seem like any team desires to spend the New Year in New Orleans, as Tennessee, Auburn and Florida lost over Thanksgiving weekend. At this point, there’s a chance that Gus Malzahn’s squad may have backed into the game against Oklahoma on Jan. 2 despite its loss to Alabama in the Iron Bowl.

The Crimson Tide remains the class of the league after a 30-12 victory over the Tigers, and Nick Saban’s squad looks to officially punch its ticket once again to the College Football Playoff with a win over Florida in the league title game next Saturday.

Where is your favorite SEC team possibly headed this postseason?
