The SEC will be one of the most difficult conferences in college football with the additions of the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners. The College Football Playoff will be an intriguing battle, and the number of teams from the conference will be interesting to see.
While on "The Matt Barrie Show," ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum discussed that he thinks four SEC teams will make the College Football Playoff this upcoming season.
"I think probably the correct answer is four. It's not more than four. By the way, all of my friends are probably 14 or 16. I don't mean to blast my friends in the media; most of them don't know it's a convoluted system, Matt, as you've discussed. It's hard to get four," he said (h/t Athlon Sports)

Finebaum said that he believes the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns and Ole Miss Rebels are going to be making it to the College Football Playoff this season, while the LSU Tigers, Alabama Crimson Tide and Missouri Tigers all compete for the fourth spot out of the SEC.
What does the College Football Playoff look like this season for SEC teams?
The College Football Playoff has a massive change compared to the last decade. This year introduces a 12-team bracket to determine the national champion. In the first round, the top four conference champions will be awarded byes and the eight highest-ranking nonconference champions will compete.
This will be a single-elimination bracket to determine the national champion for the season.
When looking at the SEC teams, there is a guarantee of only one team (the SEC Champion) making the College Football Playoff. However, the other seven spots could be littered with SEC programs, as they will be in a position where their strength of schedules line up with the ability to get multiple teams in the CFP.
There will be a group of teams competing to make the College Football Playoff out of the SEC so it will be interesting to see which teams make it out of the SEC this season.
