– College Basketball Predictions For Every Game: Sunday

We’re used to doing this for college football bowl projections, and this is so much easier in one way – we pretty much know which teams should be in the mix for the 68 spots in the NCAA Tournament. But …

This is SO much harder, because it’s a 100% given that a bunch of these teams aren’t going to be in. And why? Because of college basketball’s silly system of giving an automatic spot to the champions of the gimmicky conference tournaments instead of rewarding the accomplishments of the regular season and … sorry, that whiny rant is for another day.

We’re not going to mess with trying to put together the actual bracket until early March. Again, the conference tournaments throw way too much of a knuckleball into the equation. Assume that some of the lower-seeded power conference teams here will get bumped out by some mediocre squad that just so happened to get red hot for a long weekend.

So we’re going to play it straight for the first few weeks.

At the moment – if the NCAA Tournament selection was happening right now – here’s the best guess for where the 68 teams would be seeded, and which ones on the bubble would just miss out.

NCAA Tournament Bubble: Projected First Four Out

Clemson (ACC)
Oregon (Pac-12)
USC (Pac-12)
Utah State (Mountain West)

NCAA Tournament Bubble: Projected Last Four In

aka, these four will probably be knocked out once the conference tournament weirdness kicks in

Kentucky (SEC)
Mississippi State (SEC)
Nevada (Mountain West)
West Virginia (Big 12)

Who will win the bowl games, what are the most confident picks, and who should win against the spread?

Good luck – we’re still waiting for all the opt-outs, transfers, and coaching changes to settle down. The key is to try projecting who’s going to actually play in these things – imagine trying to pick an NFL preseason game three weeks in advance.

However, if you do the bowl poll confidence thing, you need your picks soon. The goal is to get these close, but one quarterback opt-out here and key offensive lineman there could throw these into a spin. These will change if and when needed, and the lines and picks might be different once the final game previews are done, but for now …

Here are the bowl game confidence pool predictions both against the spread and straight up going from 42 (most confident) to 1 (least confident).

College Football Playoff Rankings Expansion Top 12: What Would It Be This Year?

College Football Playoff expansion. What would’ve the CFP have been this year?

How awesome would it be if the expanded College Football Playoff was this year?

The Rose Bowl decided to be part of the fun, and now it’s all systems go in the 2024 season – but we needed it now.

Don’t you want to see Alabama get a shot? Is it right that we have a TCU team in the playoff even though it couldn’t win its own conference championship? Is it okay that we have an Ohio State team that couldn’t win its own division?

After the final College Football Playoff rankings an expanded playoff would look like this, remembering that 1) the top four seeds that get a bye are conference champions, 2) six conference champs in, six top ranked teams in, everyone else, enjoy the bowls.

Top four seeds after the final College Football Playoff rankings
 (top four conference champions)

1. Georgia (SEC): Sugar Bowl
2. Michigan (Big Ten): Rose Bowl
3. Clemson (ACC): Orange Bowl
4. Utah (Pac-12): Cotton Bowl

11. Penn State (Big Ten) at
6. Ohio State (Big Ten)

10. USC (Pac-12) at
7. Alabama (SEC)

9. Kansas State (Big 12) at
8. Tennessee (SEC)

First 4 Out: Washington (Pac-12), Florida State (ACC), Oregon State (Pac-12), Oregon (Pac-12)

Second Round Bracket Projection

1. Georgia (SEC): Sugar Bowl vs
9. Kansas State (Big 12)

2. Michigan (Big Ten): Rose Bowl vs
7. Alabama (SEC)

3. Clemson (ACC): Orange Bowl vs
6. Ohio State (Big Ten)

4. Utah (Pac-12): Cotton Bowl
5. TCU (Big 12)

Top Four Teams That Would Be Left Out
Washington (Pac-12), Florida State (ACC), LSU (SEC), Oregon State (Pac 12)

Here’s how it’s going to work (this is from the College Football Playoff):

1. The 12 teams will be the six conference champions ranked highest by the selection committee (no minimum ranking requirement), plus the six highest-ranked teams not included among the six highest-ranked conference champions.

2. The ranking of the teams will continue to be done by a selection committee whose size, composition, and method of selection will remain substantially unchanged.

3. The four highest-ranked conference champions will be seeded one through four and each will receive a first-round bye.

4. The other eight teams will play in the first round with the higher seeds hosting the lower seeds either on campus or at other sites designated by the higher-seeded institution (No. 12 at No. 5, No. 11 at No. 6, No. 10 at No. 7 and No. 9 at No. 8.

5. The model allows for first-round games to be played on either the second or third weekend in December in a way that best accommodates the format and the participating teams, with at least 12 days between the conference championship games and the first-round games. The Management Committee would make the final determination of the calendar.

6. Subject to reaching agreement with bowls, the four quarterfinal games and two Playoff Semifinal games would be played in bowls on a rotating basis.

7. The national championship game will continue to be played at a neutral site.

8. Subject to reaching agreement with bowls, the four highest-ranked conference champions will be assigned to quarterfinals bowls on selection day in ranking order, and in consideration of current contract bowl relationships if those bowls are selected for the rotation. For example, if the Pac-12 champion were ranked #1, the Big Ten champion were ranked #3, and the Rose Bowl were a quarterfinal site, the Pac-12 champion would be assigned to the Rose Bowl and the Big Ten champion would be assigned elsewhere.

9. With the four highest-ranked champions assigned to quarterfinal games in bowls, the opponent from first-round game winners will be assigned by the selection committee based on the bracket.

10. The higher seeds would receive preferential placement in the Playoff Semifinal games.

Note that below are NOT the actual 2022 College Football Playoff rankings – those come out Sunday. This is our prediction and projection of what the final top 25 might be.

This is based on two key beliefs. 1) The College Football Playoff committee almost certainly will go by past precedent and give the most credit to teams that win Power Five conference championships. 2) The committee has never put a team with multiple losses in the top four, but it has put in teams that finished 11-1.

24. UTSA Roadrunners 11-2 (NR)

23. NC State Wolfpack 8-4 (25)
