For the most part Week Six of the college football season went mostly according to plan. However one of our playoff teams got a huge scare and we now have a new team in the selection committee games. Who’s in and who’s out? Let’s take a look at our 2022 Week Six Bowl Projections. As always if you want to see how things changed from last week click here.<\/a> A * next to a team means a replacement for a league that doesn’t have enough bowl-eligible teams.<\/p>\n Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl- December 31st- (1) Georgia vs. (4) Clemson-<\/strong> It took a while but\u00a0Kirby Smart’s<\/a> team finally put away Auburn 42-13. As a result they remain in the top spot.<\/p>\n Clemson used a terrific defensive effort in a 31-3 win over Boston College. At this point, it seems like a given that Dabo Swinney\u2019s<\/a> club will win the ACC and hold onto a playoff berth.<\/p>\n Vrbo Fiesta Bowl- December 31st- (2) Ohio State vs. (3) Alabama- <\/strong>Without Bryce Young<\/a> the Crimson Tide needed a fourth-quarter goal line stand to beat Texas A&M.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>They travel to Tennessee in what’s probably the biggest game of the weekend.<\/p>\n Behind Heisman Trophy Candidate <\/a>C.J. Stroud who threw six touchdowns the Buckeyes blitzed Michigan State 49-20. The gap between numbers 1 and 2 is razor thin right now and another so-so performance by Georgia and we will pull the trigger.<\/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- ACC vs. SEC\/Big 10\/Notre Dame North Carolina State vs. Penn State-<\/strong> Down 17-3 and without injured quarterback\u00a0Devin Leary<\/a> the Wolfpack outscored Florida State 16-0 to pull out a 19-17 win. The Nittany Lions had the week off before heading to Michigan Saturday.<\/p>\n Sugar Bowl- December 31st- SEC vs. Big 12 <\/strong><\/p>\n Tennessee vs. Oklahoma State- <\/strong>Other than Ohio State no one is playing better than the Volunteers right now. Hendon Hooker<\/a> and company ran LSU out of “Death Valley” on Saturday 40-13.<\/p>\n The Cowboys followed up their win over Baylor with a 41-31 win over Texas Tech. They are undoubtedly the favorite to head to New Orleans as the Big 12 representative.<\/p>\n Cotton Bowl- January 2nd- At Large vs. At Large Cincinnati vs. Oregon<\/strong>\u2013 Once again we went back and forth between Coastal Carolina and Cincinnati. However, we\u2019ve stuck with the Bearcats since the beginning and they\u2019re making us look good.<\/p>\n The Ducks replace Utah and get the nod over UCLA. Those two meet in Eugene on October 22nd and the winner has the inside track to playing at “Jerry World.”<\/p>\n Rose Bowl- January 2nd-Big 10 vs. Pac 12<\/strong><\/p>\n Michigan vs. USC-<\/strong>\u00a0Jim Harbaugh\u2019s<\/a> club outscored Indiana 21-0 in the second half for a 31-10 win. The Trojans looked very impressive beating Washington State 30-14. This is the first meeting between the two schools since the 2007 Rose Bowl.<\/p>\n Continuing our 2022 Week Six 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 Citrus Bowl- January 2nd-Big 10 vs. SEC- Illinois<\/strong> vs. Ole Miss-<\/strong> The Fighting Illini beat Iowa in one of the ugliest games you’ll ever see. <\/a>As a result of them leading the Big 10 West we have them heading to Orlando. Lane Kiffin\u2019s<\/a> squad found themselves down 10 to Vanderbilt before outscoring them 35-8 on the way to a 52-28 win.<\/p>\n ReliaQuest Bowl- January 2nd- Big 10\/ACC vs. SEC- <\/strong>Kentucky vs. Minnesota- <\/strong>After Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State you could take the remaining Big 10 teams and pull them out of a hat. For this week we\u2019re sending the Golden Gophers to Tampa.<\/p>\n Even after their really bad loss to South Carolina <\/a>we’re keeping the Wildcats in Tampa. The two schools have never met on the gridiron.<\/p>\n Duke\u2019s Mayo Bowl- December 30th- ACC vs. Big 10- Duke<\/strong> vs. Purdue<\/strong><\/p>\n Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl- December 30th- ACC vs. Pac 12- <\/strong>Florida State vs. Oregon State<\/strong><\/p>\n TaxSlayer Gator Bowl-<\/strong> December 30th-Big 10 vs. SEC- <\/strong>Florida vs. Notre Dame<\/strong><\/p>\n Arizona Bowl- December 30th- Mountain West vs. Mid-American- <\/strong>Boise State vs. Toledo<\/strong><\/p>\n Music City Bowl- December 31st- Big 10 vs. SEC- <\/strong>Arkansas vs. Maryland Quick Lane Bowl- December 26th<\/strong>\u2013Big 10 vs. Mid-American- <\/strong>Central Michigan vs. Michigan State<\/strong><\/p>\n Birmingham Bowl- December 27th- Pool vs. ACC\/SEC- Iowa State vs. South Carolina <\/strong> Camellia Bowl- December 27th<\/strong>\u2013 Pool vs. Pool- Liberty vs. Troy<\/strong><\/p>\n First Responder Bowl- December 27th- Big 10 vs. Pool- Oklahoma<\/strong> vs. Iowa- <\/strong>A few weeks ago we had the Sooners knocking on the door of the playoff. Now as a result of three straight losses they’ve dropped considerably.<\/p>\n Guaranteed Rate Bowl- December 27th- Big 12 vs. Big 10- Indiana vs. <\/strong>Texas TechSelection Committee Games<\/h3>\n
