College football bowl projections are one of the fun things to analyze in the preseason. No teams have played games yet, but it’s interesting to try to sort out how things will finish in 2022 and which teams will go to which bowl games.
CBS Sports expert Jerry Palm released his first projections for 2022 on Thursday, and he expects 11 of the 14 SEC teams to qualify for the postseason.
As you can see below, he expects Alabama and Georgia to make the College Football Playoff semifinals. Only Auburn, Mizzou and Vanderbilt aren’t projected to make a bowl game:
Alabama
- Peach Bowl (CFP) vs. Oklahoma
Arkansas
- Gator Bowl vs. Miami
Florida
- ReliaQuest Bowl vs. Wisconsin
Georgia
- Fiesta Bowl (CFP) vs. Ohio State
Kentucky
- Music City Bowl vs. Michigan State
LSU
- Las Vegas Bowl vs. Washington
Mississippi State
- Texas Bowl vs. Iowa State
Ole Miss
- Liberty Bowl vs. Kansas State
South Carolina
- Birmingham Bowl vs. Maryland
Tennessee
- Citrus Bowl vs. Penn State
Texas A&M
- Sugar Bowl vs. Baylor
Of course, we haven’t even hit Week 0 yet, so there’s still plenty of time for teams to work to improve their bowl slot. We’ll see if both Alabama and Georgia can make runs to the Playoff once again, or if another SEC team decides to crash the party.
