Football season as a whole officially came to a close on Sunday night, when the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl over the Cincinnati Bengals. While the college football season has been over for just around a month now, it feels like the offseason is now strolling around due to the coaching carousel and the transfer portal.

To celebrate, Brett McMurphy of The Action Network released never-too-early college football bowl projections on Monday. He predicted how every single bowl game will look this season, ranging from the College Football Playoff, all the way down to the Bahamas Bowl.
