Brett McMurphy releases his preseason 2022 college football bowl projections

Brett McMurphy of The Action Network is out with his latest preseason bowl projections.

Last season, McMurphy noted that his final projections on Selection Sunday were remarkably 92% accurate. However, his preseason bowl projections are closer to 9.2% accurate, so travel plans are suggested at your own risk.

Some changes from last season include the Las Vegas Bowl will have teams from the Pac-12 and SEC. Last year, Las Vegas had Pac-12 vs. Big Ten. The Duke’s Mayo Bowl will feature the ACC vs. the Big Ten. Last year, it was SEC vs. the ACC.
