2021-2022 College Football Playoff Projections
Capital One Orange Bowl
Friday, December 31
ESPN, Time TBA
Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, FL
Bowl Tie-Ins: CFP vs. CFP
Bowl Projection: Georgia vs Cincinnati
Last Year: Texas A&M 41, North Carolina 27
No reason to change the call now.
Utah did its part to knock out Oregon, Ohio State did its part to knock out Michigan State, and the only barrier standing in the way of Cincinnati should be Alabama – and sneaky-tough dates against East Carolina and Houston. Those two remaining games for the Bearcats aren’t givens if they go back to the underwhelming performances before the SMU wipeout.
Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic
Friday, December 31
ESPN, Time TBA
AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX
Bowl Tie-Ins: CFP vs. CFP
Bowl Projection: Oklahoma State vs Ohio State
Last Year: Oklahoma 55, Florida 20
The only thing now that can screw this up for the Big Ten would be the West champ taking the conference title. Assume the Michigan-Ohio State winner gets by – most likely – Wisconsin.
Oklahoma State is the more interesting call. It’s a belief that this amazing defense is for real.
Don’t get caught up on whatever the latest rankings are. A 12-1 Big 12 Champion will not only get in – most likely – but it would probably get the 3 seed with Cincinnati being 4 thanks to its awful schedule. This goes for a 12-1 Oklahoma if it wins twice, by the way.
