New York Times  

Read The Athletic’s latest college football bowl projections. Worst line to bet: SMU -6 Model projection: SMU 37.0, BYU 29.5 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Dec. 20 My model thinks the MAC was pretty weak this season, definitely when compared to the Mountain West. Worst line to bet: San Jose State -4 Model projection: SJSU 29.4, EMU 23.0 Alamo Bowl, Dec. 29 Michael Penix Jr. is returning in 2023 and that bodes well for the Washington offense in this bowl game as well. Worst line to bet: Washington +4 Model projection: Texas 33.8, Washington 32.1 Peach Bowl, Dec. 31 We all saw what Michigan did to Ohio State in Columbus in the final week of the regular season and now Ryan Day’s team faces a better version of that Michigan team. Worst line to bet: Georgia -6.5 Model projection: Georgia 36.6, Ohio State 28.3 Rose Bowl, Jan. 2 I’m not sure how Penn State is a field goal underdog here.
