Is it too early to start projecting bowl games for the 2020 college football season? Considering we don’t even know if games will be played by some teams or conferences I’d say yes but why not go about business as usual right now and do what we normally do?
Has it ever hurt anyone to try and speak some positives into existence?
With that in mind Bill Bender of The Sporting News released his initial bowl projections for the 2020 college football season on Thursday and he has Notre Dame in the New Year’s Six.
The Projection:
January 1: Chick-Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta vs. LSU
It would fall short of Notre Dame’s ultimate goal of a College Football Playoff appearance and potential national championship but it’d also likely mean for a 10-2 mark at very worst which doesn’t look bad with Wisconsin, Clemson and an always difficult trip to USC all scheduled.
It would also be the fifth time Notre Dame and LSU met in a bowl game, doing so four times since 1997 with both teams winning twice.
