NCAA Football Bowl Projections

11/18/13

It seems like there is one team that falls by the wayside week by week and has their national championship hopes. This past week it was Stanford. A week after their big win over Oregon, the Cardinal fell to USC, ending their chances to sneak into the BCS title game. Alabama and Florida State remain in poll position, but there is an interesting battle heating up behind them. Ohio State and Baylor are battling it out to replace one of those teams should they fall. It may not seem like it but there is plenty of football left to be played. The Ringer Poll is what we use here. This is where your favorite team would likely be headed if the Ringer Poll is what determined the BCS and bowl games were set to be played today. (Rankings are based on current Ringer Poll)
