The two losses since the last projections rundown haven't actually changed too much with regard to the bowl projections, with the only big difference is that I no longer need to check the "playoff contenders" tab to do this. The one commonality among projections is that every opponent is from a Power 5 conference, which, after a few years in a row of bowls against the likes of Bowling Green and Houston, is very welcome.
I mean, yeah, there's one projection that puts us against Navy. But Navy's really good this year. Plus, they're the troops.
