SEC bowl projections heading into Week 4. Alabama’s comeback victory over Ole Miss kept it firmly in the No. 1 spot and in the College Football Playoff.

Through most of the first half, it looked like we’d be picking a new No. 1 in the College Football Playoff projections. Then, Alabama overcame a 21-point deficit and beat Ole Miss. 

We still think the Rebels can make a push at a major bowl game, and Georgia pulled out another tight one to stay in a New Year’s Six slot.
