College football bowl projections after Week 15

With the College Football Playoff selection show (ESPN and ESPN App, noon ET) just a week away, there is a little shake-up in our weekly projections.

After No. 6 Florida's shocking loss against LSU, one ultimately decided by an untimely penalty after the Gators' Marco Wilson tossed a cleat down the field, we are looking at a different semifinals lineup.

Teams that have opted out of bowl games so far include Boston College, Pitt, Virginia and Stanford. LSU has self-imposed a bowl ban.

ESPN's Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach make their latest picks. This will be updated as game matchups become locked in.
