Bowl Predictions 2022: Full Projections For CFP Final and More Top Games

USC lost to Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday night. The Trojans are unlikely to make the College Football Playoff this season. Ohio State is ranked No. 5 in this year's rankings. They went 11-1 in their regular season, with their only loss coming against Michigan.

Peach Bowl (CFP semifinal): No. 1 Georgia vs. No 4 Ohio State. Fiesta Bowl: No 2 Michigan vs No 3 TCU. Rose Bowls: Penn State vs Utah, Cotton Bowl vs Tulane, Sugar Bowl v. Kansas State, Orange Bowl with Clemson vs Tennessee, and National Championship with Georgia v., No 1 Michigan.

Georgia is the No. 1 seed in the CFP rankings. The Bulldogs are 12-0 and will be the top seed if they beat LSU in SEC Championship Game. Ohio State will get the fourth seed and play Georgia in Peach Bowl. Georgia and Ohio have only met once before in 1992.  

The Fiesta Bowl should feature a matchup of undefeated Power Five conference champions. Michigan and TCU have to play each other on Saturday. The Wolverines should have no problem against Purdue. TCU needs to beat Kansas State to avoid being excluded from the CFP. It's possible the Horned Frogs could get into the College Football Playoff even if they lose to Kansas. This would be the first time Michigan, TCU and the other teams met in the game.
