The bowl picture is becoming clearer, but there are quite a few teams that need to pick up their sixth win in the final week of the regular season. Most figured teams like Michigan State, TCU, North Carolina would be bowling this season, but they all must win this week to reach the minimum bowl requirement. At the top of the bowl picture, undefeated LSU, Ohio State and Clemson clearly have their fate in their own hands. The fourth spot is a little trickier of course. Oregon was upset by Arizona State on Saturday night and fell from the ranks of the one-loss teams battling for that fourth spot. For now, even without Tua Tagovailoa, we are projecting a one-loss Alabama to sneak into that last spot.
