Just when you think you have an idea about who is good in college football, a Saturday like there was in Week 2 comes in to upend any of those prior notions. We saw quite a few wins out of nowhere that significantly changed the trajectory of a few teams, while other programs might be looking for a new head coach sooner rather than later.That’s reflected in the Sports Illustrated latest bowl projections, which include several familiar faces like Oklahoma State returning to the fold and plenty of intriguing matchups coming together across the postseason.Here’s our projection of the College Football Playoff and 35 bowl games for the 2026–27 season after Week 2.PREVIOUS: Projections After Week 1College Football Playoff Projected Rankings After Week 2TexasNotre DameOhio StateMiamiLSUGeorgiaIndianaUSCBYUTexas A&MOle MissBoise State First RoundNo. 12 Boise State at No. 5 LSUNo. 11 Ole Miss at No. 6 GeorgiaNo. 10 Texas A&M at No. 7 IndianaNo. 9 BYU at No. 8 USCQuarterfinalsPeach Bowl: No. 4 Miami vs. No. 5 LSURose Bowl: No. 3 Ohio State vs. No. 6 GeorgiaFiesta Bowl: No. 2 Notre Dame vs. No. 7 IndianaCotton Bowl: No. 1 Texas vs. No. 8 USCSemifinalsOrange Bowl: No. 2 Notre Dame vs. No. 3 Ohio StateSugar Bowl: No. 1 Texas vs. No. 4 MiamiNational ChampionshipAt Las Vegas: No. 1 Texas vs. No. 2 Notre DameBowl Projections After Week 2Bowl GameDateMatchupSalute to Veterans BowlDec. 15Kennesaw State vs. UMassFrisco Football ClassicDec. 15Arkansas State vs. UNLVBoca Raton BowlDec. 18Old Dominion vs. Colorado State Gasparilla BowlDec. 18Wake Forest vs. USFMyrtle Beach BowlDec. 21Western Kentucky vs. TemplePotato BowlDec. 21Miami (Ohio) vs. Louisiana TechPuerto Rico BowlDec. 22New Mexico vs. James MadisonCure BowlDec. 22Arizona vs. CincinnatiIndependence BowlDec. 22West Virginia vs. WashingtonNew Orleans BowlDec. 23FIU vs. Appalachian StateArmed Forces BowlDec. 23North Texas vs. MinnesotaFrisco BowlDec. 23Tulsa vs. OhioPoinsettia BowlDec. 23San Diego State vs. CalNew Mexico BowlDec. 24Louisiana vs. TroyHawai’i BowlDec. 24Fresno State vs. Hawai’iPinstripe BowlDec. 26Iowa vs. Virginia TechFenway BowlDec. 26Clemson vs. MemphisMayo BowlDec. 26Nebraska vs. NC State68 Ventures BowlDec. 26Jacksonville State vs. ToledoCactus BowlDec. 26TCU vs. IllinoisMilitary BowlDec. 26Duke vs. UTSAArizona BowlDec. 27Western Michigan vs. North Dakota StateHoliday BowlDec. 28Utah vs. PittBirmingham BowlDec. 29Maryland vs. UCFPop-Tarts BowlDec. 29Oklahoma State vs. LouisvilleAlamo BowlDec. 29Texas Tech vs. OregonGator BowlDec. 30Florida vs. SMUMusic City BowlDec. 30Wisconsin vs. AuburnReliaQuest BowlDec. 31Michigan vs. Tennessee Sun BowlDec. 31Colorado vs. VirginiaLas Vegas BowlDec. 31South Carolina vs. Arizona StateTexas BowlDec. 31Houston vs. OklahomaCitrus BowlJan. 2Penn State vs. AlabamaFirst Responder BowlJan. 2Navy vs. UCLALiberty BowlJan. 2Kansas State vs. MissouriPODCAST: Listen to Sports Illustrated’s college sports podcast, Others Receiving Votes, hosted by Pat Forde, on Apple and Spotify.
