There are a total of 41 bowl games in the 2022-23 college football season before the CFP championship game.
Sporting News has tracked those projections all season, and those changed when No. 11 Utah beat No. 4 USC 47-24 in the Pac-12 championship game. That became more complicated when No. 10 Kansas State beat No. 3 TCU 31-28 in the Big 12 championship game.
As of now, Sporting News has No. 1 Georgia vs. No. 4 Ohio State in the Chick-fIl-A Peach Bowl and No. 2 Michigan vs. No. 3 TCU in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl. There also could be some last minute shake-ups within the New Year's Day Six. Will those projections change through championship Saturday?
