ESPN Updates College Football Playoff Bubble Watch For SEC Teams

ESPN updated its College Football Playoff bubble watch this week following Saturday's games, with five SEC teams currently projected to make the playoff field.

Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, and Kentucky are all listed as teams that would be in the playoff if the field were selected today.

Kentucky is considered the "last team in" despite Saturday's loss to Tennessee. The Wildcats have a 36.5% chance of making the playoff, according to ESPN's Allstate Playoff Predictor, but likely cannot afford another loss.

Ole Miss is listed as the "first team out" following its blowout loss to Georgia. The Rebels have a 37.3% playoff probability and will need to win their remaining games while getting help elsewhere.

LSU remains "still in the mix" despite having three losses. ESPN noted that the Tigers have opportunities to strengthen their playoff resume with upcoming games against Texas and Tennessee.
