College Football Bowl Projections Week 6: Notre Dame Dials Up Playoff Run As BYU Matchup Looms

With the college football season halfway through, the playoff picture is taking clearer shape as teams battle for postseason berths. Georgia’s dominant win over Alabama in Week 6 has solidified their position as the top seed in the latest bowl projections, with a rematch in the Sugar Bowl now a strong possibility.

The Bulldogs, led by head coach Kirby Smart, have demonstrated both offensive and defensive firepower, setting up a potential trilogy with the Crimson Tide. Meanwhile, Ohio State and Miami (FL) remain locked in as Power Four conference champions, with the Buckeyes and Hurricanes eyeing playoff spots.

Texas, despite a loss in the Red River Rivalry, still holds playoff aspirations, though their path to Las Vegas has grown more challenging. Outside the playoff picture, BYU, Missouri, UCLA, and Boise State are projected to fall short of the quarterfinals, while non-playoff bowls like the Gasparilla Bowl and Frisco Football Classic feature matchups between mid-major programs like Tulane and Virginia Tech.
