Now that we know who’s in, we can guess who will win. We’ll leave the Final Four and Big Ten projections up to longtime college football writer Bob Asmussen, who loves some postseason pandemonium:
Cotton Bowl Orange Bowl
Michigan State vs. Alabama,
Dec. 31, 7 p.m.
Bob likes: Spartans, 17-14. Remember a year ago when we all thought Ohio State had no chance against the Crimson Tide? How did that turn out? Tabor Pepper snaps for the winning kick. At the buzzer.
Oklahoma vs. Clemson,
Dec. 31, 3 p.m.
Bob likes: Sooners, 41-40.
