One look at the list of College Football Playoff participants the past six years explains why the Super Bowl LIV<\/a> rosters are heavy on players who arrived in the NFL via Southeastern Conference schools. Alabama, Georgia, and LSU have all represented the conference in college football\u2019s four-team playoff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual surprise is that while LSU has five players on Super Bowl rosters, perennial power Alabama accounts for only one \u2013 linebacker Reggie Ragland<\/a> — of the SEC\u2019s 24 representatives in the NFL championship game in Miami. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the Crimson Tide will have fewer players in Super Bowl LIV than lesser-known schools Central Michigan, Georgia Southern, and Florida Atlantic. We\u2019re inclined to chalk that up to statistical fluke, however, since Alabama has had a staggering 22 players selected by NFL teams over the past two NFL drafts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
