College Football Playoff picture after Week 2: Which SEC teams could make 12-team CFP this season?

The SEC was dominant during the 10 years of the four-team format of the College Football Playoff. The conference had 12 appearances while winning six of the 10 championships, three times more than any other conference. The field has expanded to 12 teams in 2024, giving more programs an opportunity to reach the postseason.

While no conference had more than two teams selected to a single College Football Playoff in the previous format, that is expected to change with the expanded field. The Southeastern Conference may be the conference that benefits the most as they have consistently had multiple teams finish outside the top four but inside the top 12 of the final postseason rankings.

Following Week 2, the conference has six teams ranked in the top seven and eight teams ranked in the top 16, with three others receiving votes. Take a look at which SEC teams could make the postseason below. All odds are from DraftKings sportsbook.
