College Football Bowl Projections Week 10: Full list of matchups, playoff predictions

by: Brett McMurphy 20 hours ago Brett_McMurphy

My Week 10 College Football Playoff projections look similar to last week, except Memphis is the latest rotating American Conference Group of 5 representative.

The non-playoff bowls, however, are a different story. LSU and Oklahoma have plummeted down the SEC bowl pecking order, while Vanderbilt and Tennessee are among my top SEC non-playoff teams.

Since these are end-of-season projections, I don’t have Vanderbilt as a playoff team with road games remaining at Texas and Tennessee. Like the Commodores have all season, I’m sure they’ll prove me wrong.

But until they do here are the 82 teams that made my On3 College Football Playoff and bowl projections for Week 10.
