College football bowl projections: Brett McMurphy includes 11 SEC teams in Week 2 predictions
Week 1 of the 2024 college football season is in the books for most teams.
Florida State and Boston College are playing on Monday night, and then it’s on to Week 2 for everyone. College football insider Brett McMurphy, of the Action Network, took to social media to reveal his bowl projections ahead of Week 2.
