It took two months of the season, but I finally got one thing right in my bowl projections. I knew Texas A&M was overrated despite their big win against LSU. I was called an idiot and worse for not having them in the College Football Playoff last week at 7-1 because deep down I felt they were always destined for 9-3.
Now, we get into Week 11, and we are going to find one playoff spot that will all but be won this weekend in Baton Rouge. Alabama and LSU both have three remaining regular season games after this week’s showdown in Death Valley, but I think the winner of that one wins out.
Elsewhere, Tennessee is back in the mix for the CFP as well, and Vandy continued to shock the world after their win at Auburn. Both teams got bumps in this week’s projections.
