SEC Football Q&A: How Many SEC Teams Will Earn Bowl Berths in 2016?

The SEC set a record last year when it won nine of its 11 bowl games—including Alabama's College Football Playoff National Championship victory over Clemson in Glendale, Arizona.

Alabama, the preseason pick to win the SEC title, will have plenty to contend with in its own division from Ole Miss, LSU, Auburn and Texas A&M. On the east side, Tennessee is the odds-on favorite to win the East over defending champion Florida and Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs.
