Hello everyone and welcome back to our favorite time of the week, the bowl projections. In what seems to be the norm it was another crazy weekend of college football. One of our playoff teams lost and several other top teams had scares. As a result, the playoff picture has changed along with one of the selection committee games. Who’s our new team? Let’s find out as we begin our 2022 Week Four Bowl Projections. As always if you’d like to see how things changed from week to week click here for last week’s picks.<\/a><\/p>\n Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl- December 31st- (1) Georgia vs. (4) Clemson-<\/strong> Right off the bat you see the Tigers are back in the playoff after one year away. You can make the case for either Michigan or USC in this spot. However, at the end of the day, the Tigers’ epic win over Wake Forest <\/a>was the best of the weekend and they get the nod. Of course, they must face North Carolina State this weekend.<\/p>\n Vrbo Fiesta Bowl- December 31st- (2) Ohio State vs. (3) Alabama- <\/strong>No changes here from the previous couple of weeks. Behind 385 yards and four touchdowns from Bryce Young,<\/a> the Crimson Tide blew out Vanderbilt 55-3.\u00a0Current Heisman favorite\u00a0<\/a> C.J. Stroud<\/a> had five touchdowns as the Buckeyes made easy work of Wisconsin 52-21.<\/p>\n College Football Playoff- January 9th- (1)- Georgia vs. (2) Ohio State-<\/strong> If this match-up holds true this is only the second meeting of all time between the two schools. Georgia won the 1993 Citrus Bowl 21-14.<\/p>\n Orange Bowl- December 30th- North Carolina State vs. Penn State- <\/strong>With Clemson moving up to the playoff the Wolfpack gets the ACC’s automatic bid. The Nittany Lions continue to roll and should again against Northwestern.<\/p>\n Sugar Bowl- December 31st- Kentucky vs. Oklahoma-\u00a0<\/strong>It wasn’t pretty but Mark Stoops<\/a>\u2018 Wildcats are now 4-0 after beating Northern Illinois. <\/a>They travel to Ole Miss in one of this weekend’s marquee games.<\/p>\n Sometimes a team just has your number. Following their third loss in four years to Kansas State the Sooners drop out of the playoff. Oklahoma leads the all-time series 2-1 but the Kentucky win was a big one as they won the 1951 Sugar Bowl 13-7 and were later crowned National Champion.<\/p>\n Cotton Bowl- January 2nd- Cincinnati vs. Utah<\/strong>\u2013 Appalachian State’s loss to Old Dominion pretty much ended their chances as the Group Of Five representative. We’ve stuck with the Bearcats since the beginning and they’re making us look good. The Utes had no trouble with Arizona State on Saturday night.<\/p>\n Rose Bowl- January 2nd- Michigan vs. USC-<\/strong>\u00a0Jim Harbaugh\u2019s<\/a> club was finally tested and turned back Maryland’s challenge 34-27 behind a monster game from Blake Corum<\/a>. The Trojans rallied late to beat a good Oregon State team on the road. This is the first match-up of these schools since the 2007 Rose Bowl.<\/p>\n Continuing our 2022 Week Four bowl projections we head to the games usually played on New Year\u2019s Day. As we like to point out every week these games have been moved so they don\u2019t compete with the NFL. Also of note, the Outback Bowl is no more, it is now the ReliaQuest Bowl.<\/p>\n Duke\u2019s Mayo Bowl- December 30th-<\/strong> Miami (Florida) vs. Purdue- <\/strong>The Hurricanes’ unexpected loss to Middle Tennessee drops them down a couple of games in the ACC pecking order.<\/p>\n Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl- December 30th- Florida State vs. Oregon State<\/strong><\/p>\n TaxSlayer Gator Bowl-<\/strong> December 30th- Arkansas vs. Notre Dame<\/strong><\/p>\n Arizona Bowl- December 30th-<\/strong> Boise State vs. Toledo<\/strong><\/p>\n Music City Bowl- December 31st-<\/strong> Florida vs. Michigan State<\/strong><\/p>\nCollege Football Playoff<\/h3>\n
