Triple Option

To project the records for every FBS team, I looked at every team’s schedule and picked who I thought would each game win to capture the entropy often found in college football. But instead of listing every school’s record and conference standing, I just put everyone where they ultimately end up: bowl games. I put projected records next to the team, and the asterisk denotes the team I think wins the conference. If your team isn’t on here, that means I don’t think they get bowl eligible. I’ll set the bar at 55 of 78 bowl eligible teams that I will pick correctly.
