Rivalry week should bring SEC bowl forecast into clear focus

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Here’s a look at where the SEC stands as teams jockey for postseason positioning: GEORGIA Although the top-ranked and defending national champion Bulldogs have looked vulnerable at times, nothing short of losing to Georgia Tech and then LSU in the SEC title game would keep them from the College Football Playoff. But coach Brian Kelly’s team has been far from impressive on the road and is more likely to land in a New Year’s Six bowl, the Sugar, Orange or Cotton. “We know that we still have the chance to play for a New Year’s Six bowl,” Vols defensive lineman Omari Thomas said. I don’t really know when the last time was that we played for a New Year’s Six bowl.” MISSISSIPPI The 20th-ranked Rebels look like a lock for the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Florida, but losing a third straight game could put that in jeopardy.
