Projecting 2022 College Football New Year's Six Bowl Games
The college football season is halfway through. The conversation now shifts to conference championships, New Year's Six bowl games and the College Football Playoff.
The highest-ranked ACC team lands a bid in the Orange Bowl. Wake Forest gets the nod. The at-large bid goes to the highest ranked team that doesn't have a tie-in bid to fulfill. Ole Miss is currently unbeaten.

The Sugar Bowl features the SEC and Big 12 champion and the highest-ranked team from the two conferences. This year's winner of the Sugarbowl will play Tennessee. TCU is playing the best football in the Big12 and has already toppled Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
The Vols beat Alabama in Week 7. They have to beat Kentucky and Georgia in back-to-back weeks. If they beat Georgia, they could play for the SEC Championship.

The Peach Bowl is a CFP semifinal game. Projecting Alabama to be the two seed means they run the table. Clemson has no challengers in between them and the ACC Championship. They handled Wake Forest once and I'd bet they can do it again in Charlotte.
