Alabama won't be the only team representing the SEC during bowl season this year.
While the Crimson Tide set to battle the Washington Huskies in the 2016 Peach Bowl, nine other bowls will showcase the conference's top talent over the next two weeks. TicketIQ breaks down where ticket prices for each of those bowls stand below:
Peach Bowl - Alabama vs. Washington (Georgia Dome) | Average Resale Price: $402 | Get-in Price: $191
At $402 average, it's the second most expensive Peach Bowl since we've started tracking it in 2010. Next highest was TCU - Ole Miss in '14. Of note, at a $466 average, the 2016 SEC championship had a higher average price than Washington - Bama Semi Final game, at the same location. The Peach Bowl has an average asking price of $274 for the Fiesta Bowl. About 60% of the available tickets are on Washington Side, as travel is twice the price of the ticket.

With an average price of $212, this is the most expensive Belk Bowl on record. Surprisingly, that's more expensive than the Razorbacks visit to the Sugar Bowl vs. Ohio state in 2012. It's not the most expensive Razorbacks bowl game on the secondary market, however. That designation belongs to the 2012 Cotton Bowl against Kansas State that had an average ticket price of $324.
