As Selection Sunday arrives this week, there are several decisions to unfold in figuring how each SEC team will end up in a bowl game this season.

The “College Football Playoff Show” is set to air at noon Eastern on Sunday on ESPN. The following graphic was shared online by the SEC’s Director of Communications Chuck Dunlap on Tuesday:
