The SEC needed only one team to reach the College Football Playoff last year to earn another national title, but there were moments -- the SEC could get THREE teams in!?! -- when it looked like they'd get more.
This year, Alabama, LSU and Tennessee will try to elbow out defending national champion Georgia from the top spot, so prepare for conversations about multiple SEC teams finishing in the top four. They won't be the only conference with multiteam talk, though. The Big Ten produced two semifinalists last year in Ohio State and Michigan -- and those schools could do it again.
