Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this college football bowl game stuff, trying to figure out who’s gonna play who in the postseason. It’s kind of a mess, but a fun mess, you know?
Started off just browsing around, seeing what the latest buzz was. There are tons of articles and predictions out there. Everyone’s got their own guess, and honestly, it changes like every five minutes. I figured why not give it a go to predict by myself, so I dived into it.
First, I gathered a bunch of info on the teams in the AP Top 25, checked out their records for the season. My initial record? Let’s just say I was more optimistic than accurate—195 wins and 59 losses. Not too bad, not great either.
Then, I started looking at all these different bowl games. There are so many! We’re talking about games from mid-December all the way to early January. The whole thing is wild. There are a few games I paid attention to, like the First Responder Bowl and the ReliaQuest Bowl.
- First Responder Bowl: This one’s in Dallas. I tried to find some details on who might be playing, but it’s all up in the air right now.
- ReliaQuest Bowl: This is a big one. Alabama and Michigan are set to play, which is a rematch from last year’s Rose Bowl. That’s gonna be intense.
I also tried to make sense of how teams even qualify for these bowls. Apparently, there are some rules about how many wins you need, but it gets complicated with all the different conferences and stuff.
After that, I started playing around with different matchups. Like, what if Syracuse plays Michigan in the Pinstripe Bowl? That was one of the ideas I kicked around. Just throwing teams together and seeing what sticks.
I even dug into some history of the Sugar Bowl. This year is the 91st one! The winner goes to the CFP Semifinal at the Orange Bowl. And the National Championship? That’s in Atlanta on January 20th.
Honestly, it’s a lot to keep track of. I’ve got notes everywhere, and my head’s spinning a bit. But it’s been a blast trying to piece it all together. Who knows if any of my predictions will be right, but it’s been a fun ride.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure into the world of college football bowl projections. It’s a wild ride, but someone’s gotta do it, right?
