ESPN will be announcing the 2023 college football bowl dates and kickoff times later this afternoon.
In the meantime, Action Network’s Brett McMurphy projected the matchups for all 41 bowl games. His predictions included the College Football Playoff group as well as the national championship matchup.
In regards to the Big 12, McMurphy is high on Texas Tech this season. The Red Raiders reach a New Year’s Six bowl game, while Texas reached the second-best bowl game of the conference teams. Overall, 10 Big 12 teams reached the postseason in McMurphy’s projections.
Outside of the Big 12 Conference, McMurphy projects Florida State and Washington to reach the College Football Playoff.
