2023-24 College Football Bowl Projections: Predicting matchups for all 41 games
College football’s regular season is over, but the sport itself remains as busy as ever.
There are a slew of coaching vacancies to sort out, the transfer portal opening just around the corner, national signing day coming up in a few weeks, and the matter of all those conference championship games over the coming weekend — nearly all of which will impact the New Year’s Six on down.
But for many programs, the hay is already in the barn.
They either know there’s a postseason bowl berth to look forward to when they’re rolled out on Sunday, or they’re busy planning for a rebuilding year in 2024.
So, factoring all of that in, who’s going where at the moment?
Diving into the bowl selection process ahead of Week 14’s action, here’s a postseason projection on where every team from one through 82 is ticketed for the most wonderful time of year for college football fans.
