2023-2024 SEC bowl game predictions
The SEC is slated to play in nine bowl games this year. We are predicting that the conference will go 6-4 (including the national championship game).
The conference will play in four New Year’s Six bowl games. The Georgia Bulldogs play a Florida State team with numerous key opt outs in the Orange Bowl. Ole Miss faces Penn State in the Peach Bowl. Missouri will play Ohio State, which is without its starting quarterback, in the Cotton Bowl. Lastly, Alabama plays Michigan in the Rose Bowl, which is part of the College Football Playoff.
The SEC has won four straight national championships, and we don’t think that will change this postseason. How do we predict the SEC’s bowl season will unfold?
