2021 College Football News bowl projections, predictions and possible matchups for the College Football Playoff: Week 2

[mm-video type=playlist id=01f1343a1wt7q817p7 player_id=none image=https://collegefootballnews.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

All of a sudden, doing this requires a little bit of work.

Do you really believe Oregon will get through the season with just one loss or undefeated? Do you really buy into Iowa now? As always, this can and will change wildly during the season.

One key thing to remember – ESPN wants good matchups, and it’s going to do everything possible to get them. Also, more than ever after last season, the bowl games are going to want fans in the stands.

One final thing – the Redbox Bowl in the Santa Clara is taking another year off. That takes out spots for both the Big Ten and Pac-12.

Not a whole lot has changed from the Preview 2021 Bowl Projections after one light week of games to kick off the college football season.

Nebraska wasn’t in our first round of projections, UCLA beating Hawaii was part of the equation, and there wasn’t anything too crazy to come out of the blue. Even so, there are a few slight tweaks here and there.

Expect the big changes to kick in after Week 1.
