ESPN’s Mark Schlabach and Brett McMurphy have released their way-too-early SEC bowl projections and each college football insider has 12 teams from the league reaching the postseason.
Sorry Kentucky and Vanderbilt fans.
Last season, McMurphy accurately picked three of the College Football Playoff’s four teams while Schlabach accurately guessed two participants. This fall, McMurphy likes Auburn to win the SEC and reach the national championship game.
