The bowl picture amongst middling SEC teams is far from clear entering the final week of the regular season, Kentucky included. Sitting at 6-5, the Wildcats will welcome the Louisville Cardinals to Kroger Field for the Governor's Cup this Saturday, a game that will likely have major implications on where UK lands for its postseason matchup in late…

And as an independent team, UConn easiest path into a bowl game is with one offers at-large bids, since the majority of the 82 slots in the 41 bowl games have contracts with conferences. Will UConn be selected? That remains to be seen.This week players went home for Thanksgiving, likely with the bowl question looming over their heads. It will…

The Georgia Bulldogs will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes on Dec. 31 in the College Football Playoff from the Peach Bowl in Atlanta, Georgia. Georgia, coming off its first SEC Championship win since 2017, opened as a -6.5 point favorite over the Buckeyes, per BetMGM. The over/under is set at 60.5. Ohio State is the only team in the CFP not to have…

2022 has been a season of historic achievements for the Eastern Michigan University football team. Through a display of grit, hope, and determination, the Eagles will hear their name called during the NCAA bowl game selections. Having only finished with two wins in the 2020 season, the Eagles have rejuvenated their presence in the MAC for the 2022…

The Georgia Bulldogs will play the Michigan Wolverines in Miami this Friday for a spot in the national championship game. Georgia is 1-0 in semifinal games since the start of the College Football Playoff era and will look to make it 2-0 when the Dawgs and Wolverines meet at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN from Miami on Dec. 31. Georgia is a 7.5-point favorite…

To say Texas A&M threw a wrench into LSU's postseason plans with Saturday's 38-23 victory over the Tigers would be a gross understatement. Throwing a whole tool set into the Tigers' plans is more like it. The loss sent LSU tumbling out of College Football Playoff contention, from No. 5 in last week's rankings to No. 14 Tuesday. That also reduced…

There's a lot at stake when the Utah Utes - ranked No. 23 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings - host the No. 3 Oregon Ducks at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Saturday. It's arguably the second-most important game of the weekend, in terms of postseason implications, behind only No. 4 Ohio State hosting No. 7 Michigan State. Saturday's result…

Seven weeks into the 2022 college football season, let's just say it has not played out as expected. One of the most chaotic seasons of the last 15 years enters the halfway point with Tennessee, USC, Ole Miss and perhaps even Texas in the College Football Playoff conversation while programs like Alabama and reigning national champion Georgia are…

No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 Ohio State will go head-to-head on Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium in the College Football Playoff National Championship -- a game which has the potential to be one of the most intriguing matchups we've seen in the title game recent memory. The Crimson Tide ran roughshod through the SEC en route to the conference title,…

Following an offseason that again delivered a taste of conference realignment (USC and UCLA to the Big Ten in the future) and typical college football controversy (Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher going at it over recruiting), time has come to concentrate on what's actually going to happen on the field throughout the 2022 season. There's no better way…

Penn State is now less than a week away from learning where it will go in the postseason. The Lions finished the regular season at 10-2, cashing their season long win total number for bettors who backed their over of 8.5 while also seemingly securing a spot in a New Year's Six bowl matchup. "I'm really proud," James Franklin said last Saturday…

FAYETTEVILLE - Arkansas football had a chance to better its bowl standing last week with a win over Missouri. Instead, the Razorbacks lost, giving the Tigers their sixth win and bowl eligibility while remaining at six wins themselves. Arkansas (6-6) will play in a bowl for a second straight year. Arkansas won the Outback Bowl - now called the…

On Saturday, Arkansas could not quite pull off an upset Alabama Football needed. So there will be no post-season trip to Atlanta for the Alabama Crimson Tide this season. There will be a New Years Six Bowl plum. Winning it, to finish 11-2, would be a good finish to a Crimson Tide season that failed to meet expectations. A few days ago, I suggested…

BYU is on a three-game losing streak heading into its Friday night home matchup against East Carolina. That slide has people questioning whether the Cougars, who at one point were ranked in the top 15, will even make a bowl this season. While Deseret News writers Jay Drew and Dick Harmon believe BYU will lose a fourth straight game this week to…

The final week of the regular season is here. Before we know it, bowl season will be upon us. For the first time since 2019 and just the second time in the last five seasons, the Florida State football team will be playing in a bowl. And there's a chance that it could be an even more prestigious bowl than many of us thought. The chaos that was Week…

Today's Penn State football news headlines feature a look at the latest bowl forecasts following the Lions' win over Rutgers, plus an early point spread for Saturday's season finale against the Michigan State Spartans. Signs are beginning to point toward Penn State slipping just outside the New Year's Six bowl picture and perhaps toward Florida for…

Tennessee's hopes of making the College Football Playoffs have been extinguished as of the Vols' loss to unranked South Carolina on Saturday night in Columbia. The Volunteers have still put together a remarkable season though, with wins against Florida, Alabama, and LSU, and are currently on track to make one of the premier games on the bowl…

As the FGCU men's basketball team opens the Gulf Coast Showcase on Monday night at Hertz Arena, there's a good chance the Eagles will be facing teams that'll be in the 2023 NCAA Tournament. Northern Kentucky (2-1), the co-favorite to win the Horizon League, will play FGCU at 7:30 p.m. Monday to cap first-day action. Toledo (3-0), which is averaging…

Liberty's three-point loss at UConn didn't hurt the Flames' odds of going to a bowl game for the fourth straight season. It did significantly hamper potentially being in a marquee post-Christmas bowl. All 15 national outlets that project the bowl games have the Flames in a bowl game, with 10 of those projecting Liberty to play in a pre-Christmas…

It's been a while since Kentucky Wildcats fans woke up after watching their football team win a game. In fact, it's now been 16 days since Kentucky's last victory. The Wildcats began their season 4-0 with wins over Miami (OH), No. 12 Florida, Youngstown State and Northern Illinois. However, they've suffered back to back losses at No. 14 Ole…

Yeah, yeah I know that bowl-game projections for the end of the 2022 season are super early at this juncture, but still, it's nice to see that Syracuse football is garnering some attention on this topic. After beating Big Ten Conference member Purdue over the weekend on a last-second touchdown to move to 3-0 in this young 2022 campaign, the Orange…

The No. 24 ranked Oregon Ducks go into a showdown of Top 25 programs this weekend in Autzen when they play host to visiting No. 12 BYU. The game will have the nation's eyes on it as the Ducks will get a second-chance at a Top 25 opponent and hope to prove they are one of the nation's top teams, while the Cougars, they'll be looking for another Top…

What can one week of college football tell us? In the scope of a full season, probably not a lot more than how a team starts off. Still, that doesn't stop college football experts from evaluating each week in its own prism, and that includes weekly updates on bowl projections. Here's the latest bowl projections for Utah's three FBS programs…

The Mountain West staked its claim as one of the best Group of Five conferences in college football last season with multiple major upsets pulled against Pac-12 squads.
