That said, Ivan Maisel and Pat Forde took their best shot at predicting all 28 bowls. That's no simple task considering different conference tie-ins and the fact some conference(s) will undoubtably fall short of reaching their requirements. So, enjoy the projections and know that everything you see here may change by the end of Saturday.

Look at who we play vs who ucf plays? Even with 5 wins in the Big East you're a better team than a 7 win c-doa team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
