Bowl Projections: College Football News Predictions for Week 3
By College Football News,
22 hours ago
The bowl projections just got a whole lot funkier with Notre Dame and Michigan losing.
Texas would still likely be projected to get to the College Football Playoff had it lost to the Wolverines, but it rolled, and that changes things - Michigan likely has two more losses on its schedule.
And Notre Dame? If it doesn't go 10-0 the rest of the way, with its light schedule it might have a 50-50 shot of getting to the CFP with one more loss.
As always, we'll change these up wildly every week, and as always, assume ESPN will shoehorn in a few matchups that have nothing to do with the bowl affiliations.
Michigan cheerleaders lead chants of Go Blue during the first half against Texas at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on Saturday, September 7, 2024.
