Friday night the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Oklahoma Sooners will begin the SEC's playoff and bowl game play. In the 2024-25 postseason 13 SEC football teams participated. The SEC finished with a disappointing 8-7 record.
The biggest disappointments came from Oklahoma losing to Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl, Alabama losing to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl, Tennessee being throttles by Ohio State, 42-17 in a playoff game, and Georgia losing to Notre Dame in a Sugar Bowl playoff game.
The SEC's 2024 postseason record was described as disappointing and the end of an era.
