Now that the 82 teams that will go bowling are known, let's figure out the pairings for each of the 41 bowls.
Before we dive into my newest bowl projections, my loyal readers will remember last week's projections. The part where I wrote Minnesota would be the only 5-7 team needed to fill the 82nd spot and – guess what – Minnesota is the only 5-7 team headed to a bowl.
Remarkable, huh?
The toughest aspect of the projections is correctly forecasting the four playoff teams and New Year's Six bowl matchups.
