Brad’s 31st Annual College Football Bowl Projections

It is time to find out where your favorite team may be playing this holiday season! For the 31st consecutive season, I have created a projection of what the bowl games will look like when the full lineup is released on Sunday. You will below that all the information for each bowl game is listed with the playoff games being distinguished in bold font. Overall, there are exactly 80 bowl eligible teams to fill 80 spots so no one will get snubbed from a bowl game with a .500 record or better and no 5-7 teams will find a way to bowl either. Please feel free to comment or debate. Also, if there are any major changes to the CFP and New Year’s Six games as a result of next weekend’s conference title games, I will publish an updated version of these projections next Sunday morning.
