ESPN releases updated projections for every bowl game, College Football Playoff after Week 1

ESPN has released their bowl projections for every game following Week 1, including the College Football Playoff.

“The 2022 college football season is underway, with Week 1 seeing a few surprises and some tradition powers flexing their muscles in their typical way,” wrote ESPN. “Georgia made a statement with its rout of Oregon, Alabama did its usual thing and Ohio State answered its top-five challenge by getting past Notre Dame.”

Making the predictions are ESPN college football reporters Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach. While there’s certain to be some controversial selections, the duo agrees on some of the biggest games on the calendar.

Time will tell how right they become, but the duo is putting their predictions out for the world to see as another highly anticipated season gets under way.
