How many SEC teams make a bowl game?
How many SEC Football teams do we think make a bowl game appearance in 2022?
Matt Melton – 12
Every team aside from Missouri and Vanderbilt reaches a bowl game, meaning that the answer is 12. With that being said, a few SEC teams could be on the bubble of making a bowl game as well, but that group wouldn’t contain more than one-to-two potential teams.
Jonathan Lurensky – 9
This is a tough one because inter-conference play could go either way, but I would say nine SEC teams make it to a bowl game. Honestly, it could be every team besides LSU and Mississippi State that make it from the west but inter-conference play might hurt them. Out east, I could see Georgia, Kentucky, and South Carolina but that’s it. Maybe Missouri or Florida get to a bowl game from lack of quality opponents but that’s it.
Patrick Previty – 12
I think every team except Vanderbilt and Missouri qualify for a bowl. Most of the programs in the SEC have quality QB play and seem to be going in the right direction.
