Ultimately, 13 SEC teams ended up being bowl-eligible. There are nine SEC bowl tie-ins. That means that if four SEC teams make the College Football Playoff, all SEC teams will end up in an SEC bowl. That became more likely after Miami's loss to Syracuse.

Alabama, South Carolina, and Ole Miss are on the bubble, with Texas, Tennessee and Georgia likely three of the 12 teams. The highest-ranked three-loss SEC team that misses the CFP will likely play in the Citrus Bowl, with other SEC teams playing in the other eight bowls with conference affiliations.

Multiple outlets have released updated bowl projections for the postseason, and the general consensus from these pieces is that Ole Miss will not be able to jump back into the playoff conversation after suffering its third loss of the season to Florida prior to the Egg Bowl against the Bulldogs.
