College Football Bowl Projections for Week 5: Brett McMurphy’s Bowl Picks, College Football Playoff Predictions

In honor of Tennessee’s decision to increase next year’s ticket prices by 10% to pay the players, I, Brett McMurphy, pledge to put 10% more effort into this week’s bowl projections, one College Football Playoff under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

This week’s projections include some new teams in the College Football Playoff: Clemson as an at-large team and UNLV as the highest-ranked Group of Five conference champion.

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