The college football has completed its week 13 matches and entering to week 14 matches. Now, it becomes clearer which teams are participating in different Bowl games starting from Dec. 30. Though the final selection is decided by the College Playoff selection committee on Tuesday, the most probable list is already made available by SB Sports.

The Ohio State vs Michigan game on Saturday was a close encounter and the game was decided only during the overtime in favor of Buckeyes. With just one game lost against Penn State, the Buckeyes would look for the playoff, though the title of Big Ten can't be confirmed. The match on Dec. 3 between Penn State Nittany Lions and Wisconsin Badgers are becoming the deciding factor due to this.

Now everything regarding the Bowl projections going to the hands of Playoff selection committee and how they would like to choose the best four teams. The selection committee might try to set themselves on the performance of the entire season than just the conference match results. Also, the New Year Bowl matches schedules are getting ready and it can be presumed that Wisconsin would take on Colorado in Rose Bowl on Jan. 2.

Further, Bowl projections include Sugar Bowl that is expected to make a combat between Oklahoma and Auburn. The Cotton Bowl might feature a battle between Western Michigan and Penn State considering the current ranking and wins. Finally, the Orange Bowl projections would this time show the fight between Florida State and Michigan.

When it comes to college football top four and the Bowl projections it looks like the matches would like the clashes between top four on the points table. The Peach Bowl match will be between topper on the table Alabama and number four Washington. The Fiesta Bowl is expected to be between Clemson and Ohio State. However, this list can be altered by the decision of the Playoff selection committee.
