In the 2024 campaign, the SEC has an opportunity to write history. Paul Finebaum disclosed how many SEC teams he thinks would advance to the 12-team College Football Playoff during an appearance on “GoJo and Golic.”

Finebaum stated, “I would go conservatively with three.” “I just think there are too many variables, so I’m not brave enough to go with four.” However, I believe that a few games will decide whether an Alabaman or a Tennesseean advances. Or, you brought up Ol Miss or LSU a short while ago.

In a perfect world, they might receive four. However, I believe that the battle for four will ultimately come down to either the Big Ten or the SEC. They’ll most likely get in if Oregon, Ohio State, and Penn State manage to survive their customary 10-2 campaign. Does Michigan then pull off a few upsets? Does someone appear out of the blue? However, if I had to estimate a number for you in Vegas, I’d suggest 3.2. Although it’s a bit over three, I wouldn’t say it’s four.

The top four conference winners will be seeded Nos. 1-4 in the 12-team format and get a first-round bye. The SEC will field one of those teams. There are still eight spots available, though.

When a team plays well in the regular season, they can secure at-wide berths in the CFP. There is no lack of talented teams in the SEC, especially with Texas and Oklahoma entering in the next season.

Georgia is the clear favorite to win the national championship in the 2024 competition, according to FanDuel. Nonetheless, the top six also includes Texas, Alabama, and Ole Miss.In the top 12, LSU and Tennessee come in second and third, respectively.

Heather Dinich describes the selection procedure for CFPs.

Additional information on how the SEC could fit four teams into the CFP was released by ESPN’s Heather Dinich in July.

“People need to keep in mind that these are the top seven teams in the conference, followed by the top five teams in the rankings. Yes, you have an SEC champion, but you also have champions from the Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, and Group of Five. You have one SEC in and five gone.

However, I believe that three more SEC clubs may be included.What are we talking about if Texas, the loser of the SEC Championship game, is not in?Ole Miss, a team with two losses, ought to be in.
