College Football Bowl Projections: Brett McMurphy’s Week 2 Predictions, College Football Playoff Picks

My preseason bowl projections were so “popular” that several people reached out.

One friend suggested if I was confident Tennessee would play in the Las Vegas Bowl, as I projected, I should bet my entire 401(k) on Tennessee finishing with less than nine wins. Unfortunately, I’ve already put it all on Colorado to win the national title at 200-1 odds.

Another friend thought so much of my projected 12-team College Football Playoff field that he wanted to bet at least six of my teams wouldn’t make the playoff. There’s a lot of Waffle House waffles in store for whoever loses.

Anyway, I know what you’re thinking: there’s no way I have two friends.

Whether you’re friend or foe, it’s onto this week’s bowl projections.

Included is the projected point spread of each matchup from Action Network senior writer Collin Wilson’s betting power ratings. Don’t forget to click on the link to download the free Action Network app (click here). It really is a life-changing experience.
