Rose Bowl - Washington vs. Wisconsin - The Huskies have a great shot at making their second CFP in three years, but that will be mighty tough, especially since they open with a near road game against Auburn. I think they settle for their second-straight NY6 bowl and third-straight elite bowl.
Fiesta Bowl - Stanford vs. Michigan - I think the Cardinal test the top 10 again this year and sneak into a NY6 bowl as a very exciting Jim Harbaugh match-up.
Alamo Bowl - USC vs. West Virginia - Another “down year” for the Trojans as they are good, but not great and find themselves in the Pac-12’s annual Big 12 home game bowl in Texas.
