College Football Bowl Projections for Week 7: Brett McMurphy’s Bowl Picks, College Football Playoff Predictions

Overshadowed in last week’s wild mess of upsets were the first two teams becoming officially bowl-eligible.

Miami and Indiana are the first two teams to six wins. The Hurricanes reaching bowl eligibility isn’t a surprise, but it is for the Hoosiers. Led by first-year coach Curt “I win, Google me” Cignetti, Indiana is guaranteed its first bowl bid since 2020.

With two bowl teams down and only 80 to go, 16 more schools are only one win away from reaching the magic six-win requirement to earn a bowl bid.

Included in my bowl projections is the projected point spread of each matchup from Action Network senior writer Collin Wilson’s betting power ratings.
