College Football Bowl Game/Playoff Predictions

The College Football Playoff is the new system in place that will determine The National Champion for College Football each year. In this new system four teams play in 2 Semifinal Games, with the winners advancing to the new College Football Championship Game.

The two Semifinal Games and 4 other Bowls are named the “New Year’s Six.” The “New Year’s Six” are composed of: the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl and Peach Bowl. These Bowls, formerly known as the “BCS Bowls” will rotate, where each site will host a Semifinal Game every 3 years. The Championship Game will take place on the first Monday in January that is 6 or more days after the Semifinals Bowl Games. The new College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy is sponsored by Dr Pepper, which paid an estimated $35 million for the sponsorship rights through 2020.

My earlier articles have been based on what I project the opening AP top 25 to be this coming season. Today I am going to give what I believe will be the top 4 playoff teams and the 4 top tier Bowls that are the top tier bowls.

Here are my projected bowl games for the New Year’s Bowl.
