Unsurprisingly, the SEC has the most teams competing in this year’s College Football Playoff with five fighting for the national title amongst the 12 playoff teams.

Overall, though, there’s 11 SEC teams competing in bowl games over the next few weeks. The SEC trails the Big Ten’s 12 teams for the most teams appearing in bowl games this year. We’ll see how the SEC fares in the bowl games as they’re coming off an 8–7 record last year. The .533 winning percentage last year ranked the 10th-worst for the SEC since 2000. The conference will be looking to improve that record this year.

Here’s a look at all the bowl games SEC teams will play in this year, including the results of how these teams did.

There are four SEC teams competing in the College Football Playoff first round. What makes the conference’s bowl record tricky, though, is that No. 8 Oklahoma faced No. 9 Alabama in the first round, meaning the conference went 1–1 with Alabama's win over Oklahoma in the SEC playoff tilt. Alabama will face No. 1 Indiana in the CFP quarterfinal on Jan. 1.

Ole Miss beat Tulane 41-10 in the CFP first round. The Rebels will play against top-ranked SEC team Georgia in the CFP Quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, meaning there will be another SEC vs. SEC matchup in the CFP. No. 7 Texas A&M fell 10-3 to Miami in the first round, with the Hurricanes advancing to play No. 2 Ohio State in the quarterfinal.

SEC has won 13 national titles since 2006. The last SEC winner was Georgia in 2022, so there’s a bit of a dry streak for the conference by their standards. We’ll see if an SEC team can hoist the trophy next month for the first time in three years.
