Final Football Bowl Projections Breakdown

 
 
Even with some upsets in championship week, the playoffs are all but set. USC played their way out on Friday night and that moves in Ohio State to join Georgia, TCU and Michigan in the playoffs. TCU will have to sweat it out a little bit after losing to Kansas State, but a one-loss TCU squad should get in over a two-loss Alabama team.
