SEC bowl projections: Week 5

Alabama was off this week, so it remains in the top spot as a College Football Playoff representative, but we have some movement in the next couple of teams in this week’s SEC bowl projections.

We’re moving Auburn up a spot in place of Texas A&M, which won but showed it might still have some work to do after needing a furious rally and a few breaks to escape with an overtime win over Arkansas.

Also, despite the Razorbacks’ loss, we’ll stick with them finding a way to get three more wins and bowl eligibility this season. They proved they’re a quality team that’s making progress, although they have a brutal schedule to navigate the rest of the way.

Here is our full SEC list entering the sixth week of the season:

College Football Playoff semifinal (Rose Bowl): Alabama

Orange Bowl: Auburn

Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl: Texas A&M

Capital One Bowl: Georgia

TaxSlayer Bowl: Missouri

Outback Bowl: Mississippi State

Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl: Ole Miss

Belk Bowl: South Carolina

AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl: LSU

AutoZone Liberty Bowl: Tennessee

Birmingham Bowl: Arkansas

Duck Commander Independence Bowl: Florida
