With one week of play left for most college football teams, the bowl picture still looks a bit messy.
Outside of the four teams projected to play in the College Football Playoff, there's only a handful of programs deserving of spots in New Year's Six bowls.
Since there's only three two-loss teams in the AP Top 25, and at least three power conference championship games will feature a program with three losses or more, it's hard to figure out who is worthy of positions in the nation's most prestigious postseason games.
Given the mediocrity across college football, the SEC could earn up to three New Year's Six berths, while a few three-loss teams could sneak into the top-tier bowl games if results fall in their favor.
