My College Football Playoff and New Year’s Six bowl projections didn’t change from last week, but don’t worry — they should be jostled around next week with six matchups between AP Top 25 teams on Saturday.
The projections for the remaining 29 bowls saw a lot of movement from last week. Four new teams joined my projections this week: Army, FIU, Georgia State and West Virginia. They replace the four teams that dropped out: Cincinnati, Louisiana Tech, Purdue and UTSA.
Below are my Week 4 projections, and each projection includes the projected point spread for each bowl based on Action Network senior writer Collin Wilson’s updated college football betting power ratings.
