What do the New Year’s bowls look like? (SB Nation)

Jason Kirk and the gang hemmed off of the latest CFP rankings and took a look at what the latest projections of New Year’s bowl games would look like. Spoiler Alert: There are some SEC teams involved in the mix, specifically ones that reside in the state hosting the Iron Bowl.

Surprising? Probably not.

Do the Gators have the juice to beat the ‘Noles? (Alligator Army)

Florida has proven to be stingy as all hell on defense this year. It’s been their strength, and was their strength last year as well when they won the SEC East the first time around. The unit has arguably carried them to another division title, but the questions have surrounded the offense, and will surround them as they head into battle with the Florida State Seminoles this week.

FSU, of course, sports a dynamic offense featuring one of the best running backs in the country in Dalvin Cook. The Gators defense can keep them in the game, but the offense will have to be tasked with scoring points and keeping pace. Can they do it? Time will tell.

The Aggies were already sporting a terrific recruiting class and had a great wide receiver in his own right as part of it in Hezekiah Jones. And now the class has been upped big time with the commitment of Ausbon.
