Week 13 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

As it looks more and more like Mississippi State should beat Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl, the more and more it seems like this little selection committee thing is going to turn into a disaster. There should not be much of an argument against Florida State, Alabama and Oregon getting in assuming they win out. That is quite an assumption though. But after that it is a mess. TCU and Baylor are likely one loss ...

Week 12 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

The SEC has finally shaken out the way we have been expecting. Alabama knocked off Mississippi State and now the Tide control their own destiny. The Bulldogs are still in the playoff picture and are certainly one of the four teams deserving of a playoff spot right now, but we still think they will lose the Egg Bowl at Ole Miss. That second loss will knock them out of the playoffs, but Mississippi State ...

Week 11 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

We are starting to believe that some teams in the Big 12 can make the playoffs. TCU beat a tough Kansas State squad 41-20 on Saturday and have a pretty easy schedule left. They head to Kansas this week, travel to Texas on Thanksgiving and finish up at home against Iowa State. The only one of those games that should even be close is at Texas. The Longhorns did beat West Virginia and are certainly capable ...

Week 10 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

For the first time in a while, our four projected playoff teams did not change. It helped that both Michigan State and Alabama had the week off. Both teams have big games coming up though as the Spartans host Ohio State and the Crimson Tide head to LSU. Florida State and Oregon both grabbed quality wins. The Seminoles had to fight back to beat Louisville, but it was a quality road win. For FSU it is all ...

Week 9 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

The possibility of Ole Miss and Alabama making the playoffs still exists. For that to happen, the Rebels and Tide have to win out, which would include victories over Mississippi State for both squads. A one-loss Mississippi team would then play in the SEC title game, while a one loss Alabama team would not have to sweat out that game and should make it into the playoffs anyway. It’s not a fair scenario ...

Week 8 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

Despite the disheartening loss to Florida State, Notre Dame is not out of the playoff picture yet. As it turns out, the schedule has not been too tough, but the Irish still play at Arizona State and at USC. If they can win those, and the rest of their games, Notre Dame will be right in the middle of the playoff picture. The way things are going there will not be too many one loss teams. But, of course, ...

Week 7 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

It was Prove It Saturday for many teams who pulled off big wins last Saturday and needed to show that they were for real by beating other quality teams. Up 58-37 with under 11 minutes left in the game, TCU looked like they were going to follow up their big win over Oklahoma with another win over Baylor. However, Baylor mounted a massive comeback and took that game from TCU. Whether one thought the Horned ...

Week 6 Football Bowl Projection Breakdown

We expected some upsets with so many quality match-ups this week, but our projected playoffs have been scrambled after losses by Oregon, Alabama and Oklahoma. Florida State was the only team to survive and they have still looked extremely vulnerable. Joining the Seminoles in the playoffs are Notre Dame, Auburn and Michigan State. The Irish still have to hit the road and face ...
