Every summer since 2007 I have created an intricate set of college football predictions for each upcoming season. This year is no exception, as I will be using my blog over the next few weeks to publish my 14th annual college football preview guide which will contain 19 entries in all (see July 28th article for full schedule). Without further ado, here are my predicted bowl match-ups for the 2020 season. Note, the parentheses next to the teams in the two CFP games represents that team’s predicted playoff seeding.
