It’s almost here.

Bowl season is upon us. It may look a little different this year, but that’s OK.

We still have college football for a whole other month! 

Now, our projections are looking a bit messy. The combination of teams opting out of games, cancellations, and self-imposed bowl bans has not made it easy, but we’ll give it a shot. 

Without further ado, let’s all gather around and take a look at our official Week 15 bowl projections.
