Week 6 College Football Bowl Projections
In my August preseason bowl projections, I joked it's become tricky because not only do I have to project which teams will play in a bowl, but which bowls actually will be played.
Because of cancellations due to COVID-19 and the San Francisco Bowl folding last year, forcing ESPN to literally create a bowl game out of thin air, the bowl lineup has been – let's just say – fluid in recent years.
Now, there's even more uncertainty about a bowl. Unfortunately, this isn't a joke but rather a power play by a joke of an NFL franchise -'the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Las Vegas Bowl, between the SEC and Pac-12, is scheduled for Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. ET at Allegiant Stadium (televised on ABC). The Raiders approved that date and kickoff time after their schedule was released since the stadium also hosts UNLV home games and the Las Vegas Bowl.
